1 Introduction
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite navigation system that was developed to determine a precise location almost anywhere on Earth. The technology has since matured into further reaching applications; monitoring the movement of people and things, create maps of the world, get directions without having to stop and ask for help, and be able to tell time with perfect accuracy.
Harness the power of satellite navigation and track the movement of your car or truck with a GPS Vehicle Tracking System. Vehicle Tracking Systems are electronic devices that enable vehicle owners or third parties to track the location of a vehicle or cargo. Using GPS to allow for easy and accurate location of the vehicle, vehicle information can be viewed on electronic maps via the Internet or tracking software. Vehicle tracking systems have also become increasingly popular in consumer vehicles as a theft prevention and retrieval device.
Police can simply follow the signal emitted by the tracking system and locate the stolen vehicle. As an added
