From finding the fastest route home to monitoring vehicle fleets and keeping tabs on loved ones, GPS tracking devices have become an essential part of our connected world. Leveraging satellite-based navigation technology, these devices provide real-time location data with incredible accuracy — revolutionizing how we move, manage, and monitor.

What is a GPS Tracking Device?
A GPS tracking device is a hardware unit that uses the Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine its location and transmit that data to a remote system or user. Depending on the application, it may also include features like motion sensors, geofencing, speed monitoring, and communication modules (like cellular or satellite).

How Does GPS Tracking Work?
GPS tracking devices work by:

Receiving signals from a network of at least 24 GPS satellites orbiting the Earth.

Triangulating the device’s position based on signal timing from multiple satellites.

Sending the data to a central server or application via cellular, satellite, or Wi-Fi networks.

This enables users to track the device in real time, access route history, and set up alerts based on location or movement.
