Discover the range and accuracy of GPS tracking devices. GPS trackers typically provide location data accurate to within 2-10 meters, influenced by factors such as tall buildings, tunnels, dense forests, and weather conditions. These devices are crucial for personal safety, vehicle monitoring, and asset management. Ensure your tracker is placed in an unobstructed location for optimal performance.
HOW DOES GPS WORK?
Global Positioning System tracking is a method of working out exactly where something is. A GPS tracking system, for example, may be placed in a vehicle, on a cell phone, or on special GPS devices, which can either be a fixed or portable unit. GPS works by providing information on exact location. It can also track the movement of a vehicle or person. So, for example, a GPS tracking system can be used by a company to monitor the route and progress of a delivery truck, and by parents to check on the location of their child, or even to monitor high-valued assets in transit.
GLOBAL NAVIGATION SATELLITE SYSTEM (GNSS) NETWORK
GPS tracking system technology uses the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) network. This network incorporates a range of satellites that use microwave signals that are transmitted to GPS devices to give information on location, vehicle speed, time and direction. So, a GPS tracking system can potentially give both real-time and historic navigation data on any kind of journey.
GPS technology provides special satellite signals, which are processed by a receiver. These GPS receivers not only track the exact location but can also compute velocity and time. The positions can even be computed in three-dimensional views with the help of four GPS satellite signals. The Space Segment of the Global Positioning System consists of 27 Earth-orbiting GPS satellites. There are 24 operational and 3 extra (in case one fails) satellites that move round the Earth each 12 hours and send radio signals from space that are received by the GPS receiver.
