How GPS Tracking Works

posted by Camera Man 1

GPS

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite navigation system developed and maintained by the U.S. government. Initially designed for military applications, civilian users have found numerous applications using GPS.

On March 29, 1996, a Presidential Decision Directive (PDD) was signed by President Clinton that described GPS as an international information utility. The PDD included the following directives:

- The U.S. government will continue to operate, maintain and provide basic GPS signals worldwide, free of direct user fees.

- The U.S. will advocate the acceptance of GPS and it’s augmentations as a standard for use by initiating international discussions and agreement with Japan and Europe.

How GPS Works
Radio signals are sent from orbiting satellites to earth. GPS tracking devices on the ground can collect and convert the radio signals into position, velocity, and time information.

Some GPS tracking receivers have the ability to store attribute information in addition to position information. Examples of attribute information are the condition of a street sign, the name of a road, or the condition of a fire hydrant. Position and attribute information can be stored in a Geographic Information System (GIS) to help users manage their assets more efficiently.

According to Allstate Insurance close to 6,000 teenagers are killed in car crashes and nearly 300,000 are injured. Parents who use GPS auto tracking devices can help keep their teen driver safe.

The GPS tracking devices harnesses the power of the GPS satellite network, cellular phones, the Internet and your personal computer.  Safer cars, better roads and teen driving programs, the statistics have remained constant for over a decade.

Parents using GPS auto Tracking devices and setting time restrictions and Geographic limits could change these statistics and help keep your teen driver safe. You can be notified immediately by text message to your cell phone when your teen driver goes over your specified speed limit. You also can receive immediate notification from the GPS auto tracking device when your teen driver takes their vehicle to an area that you have have set as a restricted location.

Catching the Thieves after the Fact

Depending on your neighborhood, and the make and model of your vehicle, carjackings could be a relevant concern. It’s an unfortunate fact that many opportunist criminals are on the lookout for parts to sell on the black market. And if they can’t simply strip the part from a parked car, they have no moral issues with stealing the whole shebang and driving it to a chop shop.

A car GPS tracking device represents a practical method for protecting your car from harm. If stolen, the tracking beacon continues to function, alerting you of the vehicle’s precise location. That leaves you with plenty of time to notify the authorities and catch the thieves red handed.

Using a GPS tracker to track a husband or wife can give answers to cheating spouse questions that have been bothering you for years. Do they always work so late? Are they really going to a night class? Why do they seem to be acting so suspicious lately? Are they always going on trips for work? Are you not yet married?

These questions need to be answered. GPS vehicle tracking devices certainly can provide some answers. Just by installing a vehicle tracker in the car of your husband or wife, you’ll be able to track their every move and tell what his or her true location is. It’s as if you were sitting right next to them hiding in the back seat

From the time they leave the house the GPS auto tracking device can show you where they have been, how long they were there, what speeds they were driving, and all the places they stopped at!

How Does A GPS Work

When people talk about “GPS,” they usually mean a GPS receiver unit, but the Global Positioning System (GPS) is actually a constellation of 27 Earth orbiting satellites. The U.S. military developed and implemented this satellite network as a military navigation system, but opened it up to the private sector.


Each of these solar powered satellites circles the globe making two complete rotations every day. The orbits are arranged so that at anytime, anywhere on Earth, there are at least four satellites “visible” in the sky.

The GPS receiver’s job is: locate four or more of these satellites, figure the distance to each satellite, and use this information to determine its location. This operation is a simple mathematical principle called trilateration.

Once the receiver makes this calculation, it can tell you the latitude, longitude and altitude (or some similar measurement) of its current position. To make the navigation more user-friendly, most receivers will download this raw data into map.

The standard GPS tracking receiver will not only place you on a map at any particular location, but will also trace your path across a map as you move. The receiver stays in constant communication with GPS satellites to see how your location is changing. With this information and its built-in clock, the receiver can give you several pieces of valuable information: How far you’ve traveled (odometer), how long you’ve been traveling, current speed, average speed and a “bread crumb” trail showing you exactly where you have traveled on the map.

A GPS vehicle tracking device allows individual consumers and businesses to monitor a vehicles’s performance, speed and location along with daily starting and stopping times. It also allows you to locate your children or ederly family members in a few seconds. This can be done on the internet 24/7/365 days a year.

For vehicles, other special features that could be monitored include important vehicle security functions such as door locks, ignition controls and airbag deployment. “Geo-fencing” capabilities can be set up for specified geographic boundary limitations for both people and If the boundaries are crossed, an alert can be sent to you.

By using a GPS auto tracking device, businesses can track their fleet of cars and trucks in real time by installing an “active” vehicle tracking system. The active tracking system (AVL) solution gets GPS information and reports the position of thevehicle near real time, to the fleet management application

With equipment and machinery, the GPS tracking device will allow you to locate abandoned or stolen equipment.  It can monitor equipment for hours, verify the use of equipment, reduce equipment downtime and increase your profits. 

GPS tracking devices let businesses better manage productivity, resulting in a return on the investment (ROI) far exceeding the cost of the GPS system. They also give peace of mind to individuals concerned about their family members.

GPS tracking device lets you monitor the movements of a car from a distance and you’re prepared in case of an emergency. It allows your family member to continue to lead a normal life while you are assured that their safety—your concern, is well monitored and taken care of.
A GPS auto tracking device allows you to monitor their whereabouts and progress without excessive intruding into their privacy. A GPS tracking system will not only pinpoint the location of the car, but will page you or send an e-mail to let you know when the car has reached its destination or gone astray. A simple installation and you can sleep soundly, knowing your loved one is safe.

GPS Auto Tracker

Some parents use various GPS tracking devices to know the location of their teens. These parents might download GPS tracking software technology to the mobile phones of their teens, or they may place a GPS auto tracking device in or on their auto. The teenagers may or may not be aware that their parents are monitoring them. There is likely quite a few teens who believe that this is an invasion of their privacy.

Does the thought run through your mind if your spouse having an affair? You can place a hidden GPS auto tracking device on their vehicle, you will at least know where they are going in their car. You may have to come to your own conclusions as to what they are actually doing there.

Just remember today’s technology has moral and ethical implications, we as parents and society we have to come to grips with. The right to privacy is the ethical dilemma we are forced to deal with when we use GPS tracking device technology.
