Answer 2

The Transmitter built into the device sends a signal to the satellites orbiting the earth. This signal allows the satellites to determine your position. The GPS unit is programmed with maps of specific areas and has roads programmed in. It can thus compute routes to different coordinates because it knows your location from satellite.This would be an active tracking system IE: EPIRB (an emergency locator beacon)

Passive systems are far more common IE: vehicle logging/tracking. These utilize a GPS receiver which receives signals from the current GPS satellite constellation and the internal processor computes your position. This position is then actively (transmitted) via any number of RF means (Cellular, VHF, UHF etc) to a receiving unit.

Answer 3

A cell phone tracker keeps track of the location of the phone. If you have tracking software and lose your phone or it is stolen you can find its location by logging into the software and calling it up.

Answer 4

GPS fleet tracking works by placing GPS systems on each of the fleets vehicles, like trucks or construction equipment. Then the vehicle gives off a signal that bounces off a wireless tower. That information is then transmitted to servers, which relay that information to ones computer, phone or other digital device.

Answer 5

GPS tracking devices work by receiving signals from multiple satellites in Earth's orbit to determine the device's precise location. The device calculates its position by measuring the time it takes for signals to travel from the satellites to the device. This information is then transmitted to a central server or application that can display the device's location on a map in real-time.

Answer 6

Free cell phone tracking online is where you go to a service provider that offers this and type in a phone number. Using satellites, they will locate the phone.
