A GPS Tracking Unit is a device that uses the Global Positioning System to determine the precise location of a vehicle, vessel, person, or other asset to which it is attached and to record the position of the asset at regular intervals. The recorded location data can be stored within the tracking unit, or it may be transmitted to a central location data base, or internet-connected computer, using a cellular (GPRS / EDGE), Radio or Satellite Modem embedded in the Unit. This allows the asset's location to be displayed against a map backdrop either in real-time or when analyzing the track later, using customized software. Technical Functionalities
