GPS Tracking Blog

Before, private investigators could lose the people and cargo they have under surveillance in alleys, large crowds and traffic blockades. Radio-transmitted homing devices could only beep so far, because of their limited transmission range. The onset of the Global Positioning System and the wide availability of GPS tracking devices have changed this. As long as the hidden GPS devices in the people and cargo private investigators are trailing are not removed, they can be tracked.

GPS is the current technological wonder when it comes to tracking. With GPS devices getting smaller, easier to install and hide and packed with many features, these devices are increasingly becoming more competitively priced; and therefore easier to access. All one needs is access to the Internet.

A GPS device communicates with a satellite and relays to the GPS receiver the device’s real time latitude, longitude and altitude. Even when coverage is lost, you can still regain the real time position of the device when the signal is reacquired; as a bonus, you could also receive a record of the device’s past positions. This way, in the sad event a hidden GPS device is lost or forcibly removed, the past location recorded can allow the private eyes to make intelligent guesses as to where their targets might be positioned or headed.
