A “Locate” is when a GPS Tracking device sends the location coordinates to the tracking system to be marked on a map. A recorded location with associated data such as date, time, speed, direction ect. is called a “Locate”
Motion activated GPS tracking device is when the unit only turns on when it senses motion or vibrations and sends out locations at a predefined rate for the time it is in motion and then shuts down when no more motion is detected.
Constant tracking is when a tracking device continues to send locates regardless of whether there is any motion.
Location on Request is when you only get a GPS location if you send the device a request for it to send back its location. The more locates you get the more dots you will see on the map and more closely you can follow the activity.
The advantage of a GPS data logger is very detailed report at a low cost with no monthly fees and no cost per locate, so you can get locates up to once every second.
The disadvantage of a non real-time system you have to retrieve the device from the vehicle to know where it has been.
Real-time GPS Tracking system is connected to the internet so you can view their location at any time anywhere from any web browser. There is no need to retrieve the GPS device to get the information you are looking for!
