WHAT IS GPS TRACKING?
GPS tracking uses elements of both time and location to provide data points for the user. GPS, or Global Positioning System, is a satellite navigation system that receives data via satellites in space. GPS tracking can be used to track vehicles, equipment, mobile phones, people, animals, and more. A common use for GPS is for the user to set and receive live step-by-step directions.GPS Tracking
The GPS signal is transmitted from a device (either stand alone or a mobile phone) and the time and location data is sent to the satellite. The GPS tracking information is processed and then sent to a data center for storage. In the case of GPS tracking, the data is sent to our servers and then translated into meaningful and money-saving reports. Data on our servers is stored from the time you begin tracking with us and is never erased. Fleetmatics has data storage centers in both US and UK.
