HOW DO GPS TRACKERS WORK?

Introduction

One of the most impactful innovations of the modern world has been GPS tracking. The thought of pulling out a map or memorizing directions seems nothing more than a distant memory these days. Although GPS tracking affects our daily lives, most of us do not know how it works or why they would even need to know. In this article, you will learn exactly how a GPS calculates its location and communicates this info back to you.

HOW DO GPS TRACKERS FIND THEIR LOCATION?

GPS trackers use a method called Trilateration to measure the distance of a point. Unlike triangulation, which uses the measurement of angles to determine location, trilateration uses the geometry of spheres to measure the distance between the tracker and the satellites. Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) is a general term describing any satellite constellation that provides positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services on a global or regional basis. The United States utilizes GPS, which is the most prevalent GNSS, and trilateration requires three or more satellites using precise clocks to measure the time it takes to ping the device which is then translated to distance. With three satellites providing this information the device can calculate the two intersection points, there being one in space and one on the Earth’s surface (Your Location). With the distance of a 4th satellite, your precise coordinates can be calculated without error.

Each satellite can calculate the distance. You can visualize a sphere around the satellite where the radii are the distance between the satellite and the tracker. The point where all 4 spheres intersect is the precise location of the GPS device.

Now that your device knows its location, it needs to communicate this data to a cell phone, mobile app, computer, etc., where the customer can make use of it. As long as a GPS tracker is receiving satellite signal it can store its location data in its internal memory buffer but to transmit that information remotely requires a SIM card.

 

 

 

The GPS device installed on the vehicle sends location data to the cell network. That data is broadcasted to the server hosting the web app associated with the device which can then be accessed by the client.

A GPS tracker’s operating system is simplistic with limited functionalities such as:

    • Receiving commands
    • Transmitting data:
      • Location
      • Speed
      • Motion
      • Directional

The features and tools used by clients to enhance their experience and capabilities are provided by the web app and can vary based on company. Optimus has a suite of helpful features to give you the best user experience:

    • Geofencing
    • Engine Cut off
    • Alerts:
      • Movement
      • Speeding
      • Power off
      • Harsh Braking/Accelerating/Turning
    • Detailed Reports
    • Historical Data
    • Send Commands:
      • Reporting frequency
      • Poll your position

CONCLUSION

The GPS satellites orbiting our planet have changed the course of history. With the genius of Trilateration and the power of GPS technology, ordinary people can tap into a system that yields the entire globe in the palm of your hand. Providing you with a bird’s eye view of all things dear to you and of value. Compliment that with Optimus Tracking’s top tier application and features. Get started today and protect your assets.

Good day everyone, I’m Florence from Perth, Australia, my husband and I own a Furniture business, about two months ago we invested some part of our money into a cryptocurrency investment platform and made a total of $178,000 payment through bitcoins to this cryptocurrency platform not aware that it was all a scam, they kept asking us to make more payments into their platform and that was when we realized we have lost our investment. It was such a difficult time for us but while I was surfing the internet, I saw someone share a post about Jamesmckaywizard Recovery, a reputable company that recovers stolen and lost funds, I didn’t hesitate to contact them and after providing all the information they needed to work with Mr JAMES was able to recover our money in 48 hours. We were shocked that such a thing could be possible but we are super excited we were able to recover our money all thanks to him and his team. We are recommending them to everyone out there who have been defrauded too by these fake cryptocurrency investment platform. You can reach at the information below: jamesmckaywizard@gmail.com or what’sapp +1 (507) 414-7049….

My husband has been frequently deleting all messages for the last couple of days from his phone and he didn’t know i was peeping at him, then i asked him why he was deleting all messages from his phone but he claimed that his phone memory was full and needed more space. Immediately I went in search of a hacker who can get me deleted information and contents from my husband’s phone and luckily for me i came across this reputable ethical hacker Mr Henry, this hacker got the job done for me and provided me with results and i saw that my husband has been lying to me. He was simply deleting all pictures, call logs, chats and text messages between him and his secret lover so i wont get to see what he has been doing at my back. Thank God for reputable hackers who are ready to help. I must say I am really impressed with the services I got from The Hacker Detective and am here to say a very big thank you: contact him on Henryclarkethicalhacker@gmail.com or on WhatsApp +1(773) 609 2741. or 1201-430-5865,

A legit hacking service is not easy to verify. Doing some research I landed on thecybergoat@techie.com who do a variety of hacking jobs from re-accessing lost social media accounts all the way to retrieving funds lost to scammers or BTC sent to wrong addresses. Try thecybergoat@techie.com services and you won’t be disappointed.

Cheating can be so disgusting and painful, I know, because I have had my own shared taste of it, endless thoughts and ideas didn’t help much until I concluded on keeping a tab on my man. I was lucky to get one of the best hacker out there , i contacted Henry clerk to help hack into his phone and PC, retrieving all her external interactions with other women, I got all his call logs, text messages, emails, current and deleted messages on facebook, whatsapp, Skype and other social media accounts. He also helped me retrieve a couple of videos and discrete websites where he meets other men. Evidently, we broke up. I would have suffered more pain if I hadn’t met a professional hacker, Fast delivery and negligible service charge. I recommend you contact him for all sorts of investigatory and hacking tasks. Email him: Henryclarkethicalhacker@gmail.com, or what’sapp; ,+1773,609,2741, or +1201,430,5865 jytrr

Hello everyone, I would like to share my story with you all because I believe it would be of help. I just got over my divorce tussle that went on for almost two years, I filed for divorce because I knew he was cheating but I had no evidence to back up my claim. Long story short I decided to check online if I could have access to another person’s phone without touching or installing any software on it and I met this guy Thomas and I was very shocked because I got all the info including deleted ones. If you would like to get in touch with him, send him a mail; Henryclarkethicalhacker@gmail.com and you can Whatsapp him on +17736092741, or 12014305865, tell him I refer you.
