GPS tracking with transmitter

In life, situations arise where it is desirable to know the location of vehicles, machines, luggage, and not least, people. The reasons for this are numerous, whether it concerns people in need, children or pets, unfaithful partners or employees, or the desire to secure valuable items against theft. In all these cases, it is highly beneficial to determine where the object of interest is located. The solution is special devices, GPS trackers, that can locate objects and people. These determine the current location via GPS, just like a navigation device in a car. Unlike the car navigation system, the GPS tracker does not calculate a route but transmits the data via an integrated mobile module via GPRS (Internet) to your smartphone. Some devices can also activate a tracking portal where the position data is regularly stored to later evaluate it with the route history. On our topic page, you will learn, among other things, how GPS works, what to consider when using it, and how to accurately locate people or objects via GPS tracker. GPS stands for Global Positioning System. It is a satellite-based tracking system initially developed by the US military in the 1980s for military use and has been available for civilian use without restrictions since 2000.
