FAQ Frequently asked questions
Global Positioning System satellites transmit signals to equipment on the ground. GPS receivers passively receive satellite signals; they do not transmit. GPS receivers require an unobstructed view of the sky, so they are used only outdoors and they often do not perform well within forested areas or near tall buildings. GPS operations depend on a very accurate time reference, which is provided by atomic clocks at the U.S. Naval Observatory. Each GPS satellite has atomic clocks on board.
Each GPS satellite transmits data that indicates its location and the current time. All GPS satellites synchronize operations so that these repeating signals are transmitted at the same instant. The signals, moving at the speed of light, arrive at a GPS receiver at slightly different times because some satellites are farther away than others. The distance to the GPS satellites can be determined by estimating the amount of time it takes for their signals to reach the receiver. When the receiver estimates the distance to at least four GPS satellites, it can calculate its position in three dimensions.
There are at least 24 operational GPS satellites at all times. The satellites, operated by the U.S. Air Force, orbit with a period of 12 hours. Ground stations are used to precisely track each satellite’s orbit.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a constellation of satellites that orbit the earth twice a day, transmitting precise time and position (latitude and longitude) information. With a GPS receiver, users can determine their location anywhere on Earth. Detailed mapping and navigational programs can be used in conjunction with GPS technology to track the movement and location of vehicles and assets.
The system consists of 24 satellites orbiting about 12,000 miles above the Earth and five ground stations to monitor and manage the satellite constellation. These satellites provide 24-hour-a-day coverage. A GPS receiver on or above the Earth’s surface picks up at least three satellite signals simultaneously and uses these signals to determine exactly how far your GPS receiver is from the GPS satellites in space. It is then possible to pinpoint its exact location on earth. This is known as Triangulation.
GPS vehicle tracking systems use the Internet as an interface to allow you to control your GPS system, while wireless & cellular technologies are utilized to send and receive GPS requests and location information to and from the vehicle.

Installing a GPS device is very easy. There are 3 wires that have to be connected for basic tracking:
– Red wire: Has to be connected to the mains power line that will always have power.
– Black wire: Has to be connected to the ground of the vehicle.
– White wire: Has to be connected to a line that will have power only when the Ignition is ON.
The GPS device can be located in a discrete place, for example underneath the dashboard, to have the unit concealed.
There are many companies that offer professional installation of GPS devices. We can provide you with a list of contacts that will be more than happy to provide you with this service.

Our GPS Tracking devices contain two modules:
– GPS Module: This module will allow the locator device to get its location from the GPS satellites.
– Cellular/GSM/GPRS module: This module collects and sends out GSM/GPRS data. It transmits the information received from the GPS module to the cellular networks and from there to our servers.
Once the raw data is received in our servers, a special software process it and presents it to you on our GPS Tracking dashboard in friendly manner.

7) Is there law forbidding a business owner from installing GPS tracking devices?...(180 more words)
There is no law forbidding a business owner from installing GPS tracking device in vehicle owned by the company. This is not our legal advice but it is recommended that all employees be informed of this fact and that a simple GPS disclosure statement be added to your company’s employment policy manual as per below example provided “as is” and without expressed or implied warranties of suitability.
GPS TRACKING DEVICES
The Company reserves the right to install GPS vehicle tracking systems in any and all of its vehicles or other property. These devices allow the Company to monitor the location, speed, direction, ignition status, and other information of its vehicles. It is also possible for the company to be alerted to the fact that the vehicle has entered or exited certain areas and when a vehicle has exceeded the speed limit. Employees should understand that GPS data from these systems is deemed by the Company to be reliable and that the Company may use this data to make employment and management decisions regarding employees based solely, or in part, on GPS data.
