A GPS tracking device, geotracking system, or just GPS track is a portable navigation unit usually on an automobile, boat, human or pet that utilizes the Global Positioning System to identify its current location and determine its precise position to within a few meters. This system was developed by the U.S. Department of Defense and is used in military operations and high-performance racing cars. The technology was later made available to the public. There are various manufacturers of GPS trackers with different features and capabilities. Each has advantages and disadvantages, depending on the specific use of the tracker. A GPS tracker uses the Global Positioning System (GPS), which is a constellation of satellites that orbit the earth. It works by synchronizing data from a number of monitoring devices and receivers with the computer programs of the GPS tracking system. Some GPS trackers are capable of transmitting their log data over the internet to a remote location through a connection to a data network. Other trackers can receive their log data over the airwaves using radio frequencies. GPS trackers also have the ability to store their information in a remote location, so it may be stored or retrieved at a later […] read more
