The installation of a GPS car tracking system will enable you to follow the movement or check the location of any car fitted with the device. There are two forms of car tracking devices; passive and real time GPS tracking.
Passive devices simply keep a log of the vehicles status, direction and speed, which are saved to a memory chip. These can be retrieved at some later time and used to analyse and monitor the driver’s performance or to optimise a vehicles route.
Real time devices signal the location of the vehicle via a satellite link to the GPS database every 5 minutes and the user can access this information directly over the Internet. It is able to give accurate positional information for any vehicle fitted with a relaying device.
There is a vast number of different uses for GPS trackers.

7. and location of critical response teams, whether security, rescue or medical teams.
There is also the possibility of connecting a “help or panic” button to the system, which will send out an alert if there is a sudden problem, break down or security breach, thus initiating a response team.
Passive systems are not as responsive and serve more as a record of an automobiles journey, daily use or weekly trips. They can record such parameters as speed, direction and time but are only accessible once the GPS tracker’s memory chip is retrieved.
The various GPS devices can be employed as part of undercover, covert surveillance in which tracking a person’s movements or route is necessary. They can also be used to monitor systems to increase company performance. In both instances the units are small, and can be easily concealed inside or on the under-body of the vehicle. Tracing them can be simply accomplished from a cell phone. The GPS tracker will issue a response, broadcasting its current position.
