9. GPS Location Tracker Working
GPS is basically based on the time and known positions of the
satellites. The satellites use ultra-precise atomic clocks to
synchronize with each other and also to the receivers on the
earth.
How GPS works – The satellite transmits radio signals at regular
intervals carrying information. This information is about the time
and its location at the point in time. The receiver has to monitor
information from multiple satellites to calculate and identify the
precise location. For this purpose, at least 4 satellites have to be
in the viewing field of the receiver.

10. GPS Location Tracker Segments

11. GPS System Segments
Space Segment :-
It is the constellation of satellites which moves in a circular
orbit around the earth. It is also called satellite segment.
Control Segment :-
Using the control segment we can monitor and control stations
on the ground to catch the radio signals sent by the various
satellites.
User Segment :-
The user segment is the receiver that uses the transmitted data
to estimate the precise location of the user. The number of
satellites it can monitor simultaneously defines the user’s
capability.

15. Future Scope
In a world where technology is evolving every day, we need to
keep ourselves updated and keep a track of what’s happening
around us. Out of all the technologies and management that
have grown tremendously, Vehicle Industry is one of the most
popular among all in terms of technological impact. And it is
because of this growth that we bring to you a look into what the
GPS tracker was, how far it has come and where it is headed. The
keen interest in the transportation sector is palpable. This is
understandable, since almost all aspects of our lives basically run
on the vehicular industry. Not to mention, vehicles help us in
reaching from one place to another at a faster pace. And in order
to cope up with the speed of the world, vehicles have become an
essential part of our lives.
