The global positioning system or GPS is a navigation system that transmits signal, which, when received by GPS receivers, can retrieve real-time location data. Using a tracking device, you can locate car with GPS through the help of a software available for desktop computers or cellular phones. Depending on the software you are using, aside from tracking speed and routes, a GPS tracking system also records and provides detailed past locations of a vehicle and other information.
