GPS Auto Tracker
A GPS auto tracker system is an electronic  
device installed within or on a vehicle to enable
the owner or a third party to track the vehicle's
location, speed, direction and disposition. GPS
auto tracker systems use Global Positioning
System (GPS) modules located within the
electronic device for accurate location of the
vehicle. Many systems also combine a
communications component such as cellular or
satellite transmitters to communicate the
vehicles location. speed and direction to a
remote user. The
GPS auto tracker information is
then  viewed on electronic maps via the Internet
or on your computer.

The shipping industry is the largest user of
GPS
auto tracker
systems. Many large shipping
companies with large fleets of vehicles needed a
system to determine the location of each vehicle
was at any given time. These GPS fleet tracking
systems save money and increase productivity.
GPS auto tracker systems are becoming more
common and can  be found in consumers
vehicles as driver surveilance and performance
units as well as vehicle theft and retrieval
devices. Police can follow the signal emitted by
the tracking system to locate a stolen vehicle. In
addition parents can determine if their sons or
daughters are driving in a responsible manner.
In addition there is also a new line of
GPS Auto
Tracker
systems that are used to keep track of a
childs where abouts even if they are out of the
vehicle.

GPS auto tracker systems are now using a type
of automatic vehicle location (AVL) to allow for
easy location of the vehicle. The
GPS satellite
system
was built and is maintained by
government and is available at no cost to
civilians. This makes this technology very
inexpensive. Other older AVL systems do not
require the antenna to be in direct line of sight
with the sky. Older ground based systems such
as LORAN and LoJack tracking units use radio
frequency (RF) transmitters which will transmit
through walls, garages, or buildings. Police
vehicles around the world have a form of AVL
tracking as standard equipment in their units.

Standard
GPS auto tracker systems charge the
user a monthly fee for a package that includes
the GPS tracking devices, GPS tracking
software, mapping as part of the tracking
service. Passive
GPS auto tracker units are paid
for upon installation and will continue to work
for the life of the vehicle. Active
GPS auto tracker
systems as well as the ground based cell phone
and Loran systems provide real time data. A
commercial fleet manager may want 5 minute
updates, telling whether a vehicle is on route or
off, engine status, brake status, container status
as well as vehicle speed and direction.

Newer smaller and more efficient
GPS auto
tracker
units are becoming available to the
consumer market. many of these devices are
now being used as GPS personal tracking
devices. The bottom line is that it will be just a
matter of time before every vehicle on the road
will have the hardware necessary for
GPS Auto
Tracker
Systems.
