What is GPS Tracking: A Definition of the Global Positioning System
Global positioning system (GPS) can be defined as a direction-finding device usually put on vehicles (vehicle trackers), a person, or an asset 1 to determine their relative locations. The car’s close location or any support is stored in the GPS tracker 2 and transmitted via an internet connection 4 through cellular, Wi-Fi, or radio frequencies 3.
GPS tracking is a method that involves finding out the exact location of something and to monitor it. A GPS tracker contains a GPS component that collects the GPS signals and computes for example the vehicle’s coordinates or the machine to be tracked. A tracking system, for instance, can be placed on vehicles, cell phones, or any GPS-tracker-oriented devices; GPS on these devices can be either be permanently fixed or be portable.

The global positioning system works based on providing precise information of f. ex. a car’s exact location or a person or can track a person’s or a car’s movement. Our company, PowUnity, develops a GPS tracker for e-bikes and uses the GPS tracker system to observe the live location and the routes of the vehicles and furthermore to find lost or stolen e-bikes as one can see their location/movement in an app 5.
GPS is currently a worldwide radio-navigation system that depends on around twenty-four satellites 6 and their stations on the ground. The System gets its control from the US defense department as its development was for military operations only. Currently, there are many GPS services across the world since every civilian user is allowed the System without charges or restrictions.
