A vehicle tracker is a powerful tool that uses GPS technology to provide real-time location data, speed, and movement history of your car. Whether you’re safeguarding the family car, keeping an eye on a young driver, or managing business vehicles, a GPS vehicle tracker can provide an extra layer of security and peace of mind.
How do they work?
GPS vehicle trackers rely on satellite navigation data to determine a car’s exact location. Here’s how it works:
- The tracker receives a signal from some of the multiple GPS satellites orbiting our planet.
- Your tracker then calculates its position using triangulation, determining exactly where your car is.
- This information is then sent to a central server by mobile network or radio frequency.
- You are now able to view this information in real time through your smartphone or desktop.
Luckily, the magic of technology allows you to take out your phone and instantly see exactly where your car is.
