Global Positioning System (GPS) was developed by the US Department of Defense. It is a radio navigation system, which was initially used for defense purposes in terrestrial, marine navigation and other services. GPS comprises of a collection of 24 satellites that offer information to the GPS receiver. The software inside the receiver then determines the position of the object in three dimensions namely latitude, longitude and altitude.
GPS tracking has two types - Passive GPS Tracking and Real Time GPS Tracking. In Passive GPS Tracking, the tracker records the location and travel activities and then downloads it to a computer. Whilst in Real Time GPS tracking systems, the location or position of the object can be seen live, on a screen. The system integrates wireless telematics and satellite tracking and offers us a very useful concept with wide-ranging application.
Uses of Real Time GPS Tracking systems are:
•Vehicle Tracking (needs link to SupaTrak site)
The system is very useful for fleet management as transport companies or courier companies can keep a track of their vehicles and mobile workers.
•Keep track of elderly people and children so that they do not get lost or wander away.
•Auto Theft Protection
A car or vehicle fitted with a GPS device can be traced if it is lost or stolen. Some advanced GPS devices can even let you hear the voices inside your car thus helping you to get a clearer picture of the whole scene.
•Helps to get emergency road side assistance if your vehicle is lost or you want to know your exact position, Real time GPS Tracking (remove this link, we don’t do roadside assistance tracking) can help you to find out your exact location.
Real Time GPS Tracking is a very useful technology and can be used creatively in many different ways. From tracing your pet, tracking your friends or finding your way when you are on a mountain trail etc.
