Information about GPS trackers GPS tracking devices can enable anyone to track the location of a person, a vehicle, or an asset anywhere on the earth, by receiving and transmitting signals from the 27 GPS satellites orbiting the earth. These satellites receive and transmit the current location, speed, distance traveled, and how long an object remains stationary. Current and historical data can easily be obtained, regarding where a target, such as a vehicle, has been, and where that target is currently located. There are 2 kinds of GPS tracking devices - real-time and passive. Real-time GPS trackers allow instant tracking, via the internet. The person who wishes to obtain a location simply logs on to a website and sends a request to locate the tracker. Within seconds, the current location is reported, along with the speed that the tracker is currently traveling. This data can be refreshed (updated) as often as every 15 seconds. Real-time trackers also have a feature called geofencing. A geofence is a virtual boundary around a location (such as home, school, or work) that can be set up by the user. If the GPS tracker enters or leaves the geofence, the user will get an SMS message (text message) showing that this has occurred. In addition to the real-time tracking capabilities, historical location data is stored on the website, for the user's later retrieval and review. Real-time GPS tracking devices require activation and subscription to a service provider. There are many real-time GPS devices available. The most popular real-time tracking devices available today are the WorldTracker GPRS and the Trimtrak. Both of these trackers provide worldwide coverage, and are the most sought-after trackers by private investigators. The WorldTracker GPRS is one of the smallest trackers available. It is very reliable, and is capable of location updates every 15 seconds. Although the battery life for the WorldTracker GPRS is around 2 days, it has an optional 60 or 90 day battery pack that includes a motion sensor. The motion sensor turns the unit off when there is no motion, and activates the unit when motion is detected. The Trimtrak remains a popular device. It is a cost-effective, reliable unit that operates on 4 AA batteries. Battery life is around 1 month for the Trimtrak. There are also trackers that not only use the GPS satellites, but they get assistance from the cellular networks. These devices have enhanced location capabilities that enable them to be located in places where traditional GPS trackers cannot be located, such as in parking garages and dense, wooded areas. These trackers do not have to have a line of sight to the sky, as some others do, which makes them perfect for concealment in closed places. The WorldTracker PLD is one such device. Another is the CDMA-PRO. Passive GPS trackers (also called dataloggers) do not report their location in real-time. Instead, they log the location data in memory at preset intervals. The amount of information logged is only limited by the memory on the device, and the battery life. When the user wants to retrieve the information, they plug the device into a computer and download the data into a word processing document or spreadsheet. This is a great option if the user is not concerned with having up-to-the-minute knowledge of the location of the tracker, because there are no monthly fees to pay, and no website subscriptions. Business owners who track their fleets find passive GPS trackers useful, because they provide a record of mileage traveled, as well as historical location information, for tax purposes. The TrackStick is the most widely used data logger. |
