What is GPS Tracking?
GPS tracking units communicate with satellites, originally launched for government use, to identify precise locations anywhere on the planet. When installed on a vehicle, placed inside cargo, or carried by a person, a GPS tracking unit allows users to know the vehicle, cargo or person’s exact location.
Isn't GPS Tracking Technology Kind of Rare?

In addition, many business owners save money with GPS tracking systems because they allow them to more effectively manage their employees. With GPS tracking devices installed on every vehicle, it's easy to identify misuse of equipment and excessive downtime.
Do I have to be a Technical Genius to Operate a GPS Tracking System?
