SATELLITE TRACKING

GPS or global positioning system is a technology that makes use of satellites to pinpoint the exact location of a target object, regardless of whether the trace is for a living person or an object like a house or a moving vehicle.

A GPS tracking apparatus makes use of the GPS technology to track or monitor the position of the object where the GPS tracking unit is attached to. The GPS tracking unit can be programmed to send direction coordinates on a regular basis. The GPS coordinates can be sent to a specified location like a PDA, a laptop computer, a cell phone, etc.

NEVER GET LOST

GPS tracking devices can be very useful for parents so they would know where their kids are at all times. Because GPS tracking units can be very small and integrated into other devices such as wrist watches, they can be attached to the kids without the device bothering them in any way. As a parent, you can program these GPS tracking devices to alert you when your kids have gone a certain distance from your house or the school. Having GPS tracking prevents your child from getting lost, or allows you to find them when they do.

GPS tracking is also very useful for drivers. GPS auto tracking allows you to know you exact location and be able to assess how far you are from your destination. With GPS auto tracking you will never have the need to ask for directions because you have a ready map that can tell you how to get to where you are going.

BREACH OF PRIVACY

Because using a GPS tracking unit can infringe upon a person’s privacy, lawmen cannot use them without a search warrant. The surveillance power of a GPS tracking device can indeed violate our sense of personal space and can bring about many legal complications. In this light, the use of GPS tracking should be controlled by the law.
