1. INTRODUCTION:
 A GPS tracking unit is a device that uses the Global
PositioningSystem (GPS) to determine the precise location of a vehicle, person, or
other asset to which it is attached and to record the position of the asset at regular
intervals. The recorded location data can be stored within the tracking unit, or it may
be transmitted to a central location data base, or internet-connected computer, using a
cellular (GPRS or SMS), radio, or satellite modem embedded in the unit. This allows
the asset's location to be displayed against a map backdrop either in real time or when
analysing the track later, using GPS tracking software.

1.1. Purpose:

A wide range of tracking systems has been developed so far tracking vehicles
and displaying their position on a map, we can also use the system that has been
developed to tracks the mobility of a human being. Now a day's tracking a person's
mobility has become a crucial issue these days be it tracking a criminal came on
payroll or a detective going to detect a case or any other utility.

1.2. Scope:

Global Positioning System has numerous applications. The earliest application

was military. Boaters were the first civilians to use GPS extensively for navigation, as
dead reckoning is prone to error. Many high-end cars have a GPS navigation system
which serves much the same purpose as a marine GPS. Some athletes are turning to
GPS to track speed and distance. A few digital cameras have a GPS receiver which
records the location where the picture was taken. So far, I've listed only one-way
applications. Two-way applications include cell phones when calling the emergency
number and vehicle tracking.

1.3. Objective:

The global positioning system, more commonly referred to as GPS,

is a radio frequency navigation system operated by the U.S.
Department of Defense. GPS was originally developed for military
purposes, but has since become available to non-military personnel
worldwide as well. According to the National Executive Committee
for Space-Based Positioning, Navigation and Timing, the objectives
of GPS are to provide accurate positioning, navigation and atomic
timing services on a

continuous and free basis.

1.4 Literature Survey:

1.4.1. Components :

GPS is comprised of three main segments: space, control and users. The space
segment consists of a constellation of U.S. satellites, placed so that at least three
satellites are positioned above the horizon from any point on earth. PNT states that as
of October 2009, 35 GPS satellites were in use. The control segment includes
monitoring stations located worldwide charged with monitoring the GPS system. The
user segment is made up of GPS receivers.
1.4.2. Positioning :
GPS provides the user with a precise location by utilizing radio frequencies. The GPS
receiver translates the information from at least three GPS satellites to provide the
user with a two-dimensional location of latitudinal and longitudinal position on earth.
If a fourth satellite is available, then the receiver can provide the user with three-
dimensional location information, which includes altitude in addition to latitude and
longitude.
1.4.3. Navigation :
Navigation enables a user to process his current location based on GPS data and travel
to his desired location, also based on accurate GPS data. Any user with a working
GPS receiver can navigate to a particular destination, whether traveling on foot, by
automobile, by airplane or by ship. GPS navigation is even accurate underground.
1.4.4. Timing :
Time is the fourth dimension that GPS is set up to provide, by synchronizing each
GPS receiver to the GPS satellites to provide accurate time to the user. The time is
accurate to one hundred-billionth of a second. GPS receivers are able to perform this
function because each GPS satellite includes several atomic clocks.
1.4.5. Applications :
In addition to military use, GPS has multiple civilian applications. GPS has enabled
many businesses to operate more efficiently and effectively by providing accurate
time. Commercial and public transportation companies can save time and money by
routing their carriers to less-congested areas. The average traveller can use GPS to
find the nearest coffee shop, book store or gas station. GPS also can be used to
enhance survival rates in search-and-rescue missions. The possibilities are endless,
and as the use of GPS technology increases, so will the potential applications.

2. SYSTEM ANALYSIS:
OBJECTIVE:

The objective of this chapter is to study the specific requirement hardware , software
design and its function.

2.1. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENT:

Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of

sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other
actuators. The microcontroller on the board is programmed using the Arduino
programming language (based on Wiring) and the Arduino development environment
(based on Processing). Arduino projects can be stand-alone or they can communicate
with software running on a computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP).
The boards can be built by hand or purchased preassembled; the software can
be downloaded for free. The hardware reference designs (CAD files) are
available under an open-source license, you are free to adapt them as per yours project
requirement.

2.2. HARDWARE DESCRIPTION:

For the GPS tracking system we have three module that will be attached to
each other .This three module together will perform as a GPS tracking system.
Arduino uno-R3
GPS shield
GPRS shield

2.2.1. ARDUINO Uno R3:

 The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on
the ATmega328 (datasheet). It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used
as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz ceramic resonator, a USB connection, a
power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to
support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or
power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started.
The Uno differs from all preceding boards in that it does not use the FTDI USB-to-
serial driver chip. Instead, it features the Atmega16U2 (Atmega8U2 up to version R2)
programmed as a USB-to-serial converter.

Revision 2 of the Uno board has a resistor pulling the 8U2 HWB line to ground,
making it easier to put into DFU mode.

Revision 3 of the board has the following new features:

Pinout: added SDA and SCL pins that are near to the AREF pin and two other
new pins placed near to the RESET pin, the IOREF that allow the shields to
adapt to the voltage provided from the board. In future, shields will be
compatible both with the board that use the AVR, which operate with 5V and
with the Arduino Due that operate with 3.3V. The second one is a not
connected pin, that is reserved for future purposes.
Stronger RESET circuit.
Atmega 16U2 replace the 8U2.

Uno" means one in Italian and is named to mark the upcoming release of
Arduino 1.0. The Uno and version 1.0 will be the reference versions of Arduino,
moving forward. The Uno is the latest in a series of USB Arduino boards, and the
reference model for the Arduino platform; for a comparison with previous versions,
see the index of Arduino boards.

Clock Speed 16 MHz

Power:

The Arduino Uno can be powered via the USB connection or with an external
power supply. The power source is selected automatically.
External (non-USB) power can come either from an AC-to-DC adapter (wall-wart) or
battery. The adapter can be connected by plugging a 2.1mm center-positive plug into
the board's power jack. Leads from a battery can be inserted in the Gnd and Vin pin
headers of the POWER connector.
The board can operate on an external supply of 6 to 20 volts. If supplied with less than
7V, however, the 5V pin may supply less than five volts and the board may be
unstable. If using more than 12V, the voltage regulator may overheat and damage the
board. The recommended range is 7 to 12 volts.
The power pins are as follows:
VIN. The input voltage to the Arduino board when it's using an external power
source (as opposed to 5 volts from the USB connection or other regulated
power source). You can supply voltage through this pin, or, if supplying
voltage via the power jack, access it through this pin.
5V.This pin outputs a regulated 5V from the regulator on the board. The board
can be supplied with power either from the DC power jack (7 - 12V), the USB
connector (5V), or the VIN pin of the board (7-12V). Supplying voltage via
the 5V or 3.3V pins bypasses the regulator, and can damage your board. We
don't advise it.
3V3. A 3.3 volt supply generated by the on-board regulator. Maximum current
draw is 50 mA.
GND. Ground pins.
 IOREF. This pin on the Arduino board provides the voltage reference with
which the microcontroller operates. A properly configured shield can read the
IOREF pin voltage and select the appropriate power source or enable voltage
translators on the outputs for working with the 5V or 3.3V.

Memory:

The ATmega328 has 32 KB (with 0.5 KB used for the bootloader). It also has
2 KB of SRAM and 1 KB of EEPROM (which can be read and written with
the EEPROM library).

Input and Output:

Each of the 14 digital pins on the Uno can be used as an input or

output,using pinMode(), digitalWrite(), and digitalRead() functions. They operate at 5
volts. Each pin can provide or receive a maximum of 40 mA and has an internal pull-
up resistor (disconnected by default) of 20-50 kOhms. In addition, some pins have
specialized functions:
Serial: 0 (RX) and 1 (TX). Used to receive (RX) and transmit (TX) TTL
serial data. These pins are connected to the corresponding pins of
the ATmega8U2 USB-to-TTL Serial chip.
External Interrupts: 2 and 3. These pins can be configured to trigger an
interrupt on a low value, a rising or falling edge, or a change in value. See
the attachInterrupt() function for details.
PWM: 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, and 11. Provide 8-bit PWM output with
the analogWrite() function.
SPI: 10 (SS), 11 (MOSI), 12 (MISO), 13 (SCK). These pins support SPI
communication using the SPI library.
LED: 13. There is a built-in LED connected to digital pin 13. When the pin is
HIGH value, the LED is on, when the pin is LOW, it's off.

The Uno has 6 analog inputs, labeled A0 through A5, each of which provide 10
bits of resolution (i.e. 1024 different values). By default they measure from ground to
5 volts, though is it possible to change the upper end of their range using the AREF
pin and the analogReference() function. Additionally, some pins have specialized
functionality:
TWI: A4 or SDA pin and A5 or SCL pin. Support TWI communication
using the Wire library.
There are a couple of other pins on the board:
AREF. Reference voltage for the analog inputs. Used with analogReference().
 Reset. Bring this line LOW to reset the microcontroller. Typically used to add
a reset button to shields which block the one on the board.

Communication:
The Arduino Uno has a number of facilities for communicating with a
computer, another Arduino, or other microcontrollers. The ATmega328 provides
UART TTL (5V) serial communication, which is available on digital pins 0 (RX) and
1 (TX). An ATmega16U2 on the board channels this serial communication over USB
and appears as a virtual com port to software on the computer. The '16U2 firmware
uses the standard USB COM drivers, and no external driver is needed. However, on
Windows, a .inf file is required. The Arduino software includes a serial monitor which
allows simple textual data to be sent to and from the Arduino board. The RX and
TX LEDs on the board will flash when data is being transmitted via the USB-to-serial
chip and USB connection to the computer (but not for serial communication on pins 0
and 1).
A Software Serial library allows for serial communication on any of the Uno's
digital pins.
The ATmega328 also supports I2C (TWI) and SPI communication. The Arduino
software includes a Wire library to simplify use of the I2C bus; see
the documentation for details. For SPI communication, use the SPI library.

Automatic (Software) Reset:

Rather than requiring a physical press of the reset button before an upload, the
Arduino Uno is designed in a way that allows it to be reset by software running on a
connected computer. One of the hardware flow control lines (DTR) of
theATmega8U2/16U2 is connected to the reset line of the ATmega328 via a 100 Nano
farad capacitor. When this line is asserted (taken low), the reset line drops long
enough to reset the chip. The Arduino software uses this capability to allow you to
upload code by simply pressing the upload button in the Arduino environment. This
means that the boot loader can have a shorter timeout, as the lowering of DTR can be
well-coordinated with the start of the upload.
This setup has other implications. When the Uno is connected to either a computer
running Mac OS X or Linux, it resets each time a connection is made to it from
software (via USB). For the following half-second or so, the bootloader is running on
the Uno. While it is programmed to ignore malformed data (i.e. anything besides an
upload of new code), it will intercept the first few bytes of data sent to the board after
a connection is opened. If a sketch running on the board receives one-time
configuration or other data when it first starts, make sure that the software with which
it communicates waits a second after opening the connection and before sending this
data.
The Uno contains a trace that can be cut to disable the auto-reset. The pads on
either side of the trace can be soldered together to re-enable it. It's labeled "RESET-
EN". You may also be able to disable the auto-reset by connecting a 110 ohm resistor
from 5V to the reset line; see this forum thread for details.

USB Overcurrent Protection:

The Arduino Uno has a resettable polyfuse that protects your computer's USB
ports from shorts and overcurrent. Although most computers provide their own
internal protection, the fuse provides an extra layer of protection. If more than 500
mA is applied to the USB port, the fuse will automatically break the connection until
the short or overload is removed.

Physical Characteristics:

The maximum length and width of the Uno PCB are 2.7 and 2.1 inches
respectively, with the USB connector and power jack extending beyond the former
dimension. Four screw holes allow the board to be attached to a surface or case. Note
that the distance between digital pins 7 and 8 is 160 mil (0.16"), not an even multiple
of the 100 mil spacing of the other pins.

2.2.2. GPS shield:

Adding GPS to your Arduino has never been easier. The multiple GPS
receivers attach easily to the shield, you will be able to locate your exact position
within a few meters. Here's where we are. GPS also gives you amazingly accurate
time! A GPS quick start guide is available for this product.

With the GPS Shield you can add GPS functionality to Arduino. A connector
for the popular EM-406 GPS receiver is populated on the board, and footprints for
EM-408 and EB-85A/FV-M8 connectors are also made available (connectors are not
soldered on or included and can be found below in the related items). The regular
GPS pins (RX, TX, PPS, etc.) are also broken out to a 10-pin 0.1" pitch header, and a
small prototyping area is also provided.

The DLINE/UART switch switches the GPS module's input/output between

Arduino's standard TX/RX pins or any digital pins on the Arduino (default setting
uses pins 3 and 2 connected to TX and RX, respectively). The regular GPS pins (RX,
TX, PPS, etc.) are broken out to a 10-pin 0.1" pitch header, and a small prototyping
area is also provided. An ON/OFF switch is included which controls power to the
GPS module. Additionally, the Arduino reset switch is also brought out.

2.3 SOFTWARE:

The Arduino integrated development environment (IDE) is a cross-

platform application written in Java, and is derived from the IDE for the Processing
programming language and the Wiring projects. It is designed to introduce
programming to artists and other newcomers unfamiliar with software development. It
includes a code editor with features such as syntax highlighting, brace matching, and
automatic indentation, and is also capable of compiling and uploading programs to the
board with a single click.

A program or code written for Arduino is called a sketch Arduino programs are
written in C or C++. The Arduino IDE comes with a software library called "Wiring"
from the original Wiring project, which makes many common input/output operations
much easier. Users only need define two functions to make a runnable cyclic
executive program:

The Arduino IDE uses the GNU tool chain and AVR Library to compile
programs, and uses avrdude to upload programs to the board.
As the Arduino platform uses Atmel microcontrollers, Atmel's development
environment, AVR Studio or the newer Atmel Studio, may also be used to
develop software for the Arduino

2.4 DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT:

Arduino is open source hardware: the Arduino hardware reference designs are
distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 2.5 license and are
available on the Arduino Web site. Layout and production files for some versions of
the Arduino hardware are also available. The source code for the IDE is available and
released under the GNU General Public Licenseversion2.0.

Although the hardware and software designs are freely available under copy
left licenses, the developers have requested that the name "Arduino" be exclusive to
the official product and not be used for derivative works without permission. The
official policy document on the use of the Arduino name emphasizes that the project
is open to incorporating work by others into the official product . Several Arduino-
compatible products commercially released have avoided the "Arduino" name by
using "-duino" name variants.

2.5 Embedded Systems Architecture :

Middleware is software that has been abstracted out of the application layer
for a variety of reasons. One reason is that it may already be included as part of the
off-the-shelf OS package.

Other reasons to remove it from the application layer are: to allow reusability
with other applications, to decrease development costs or time by purchasing it off-
the-shelf-through a third party vendor, or tosimplify application code. The remaining
sections of this chapter define what middleware and application software is or isn't,
and provide real-world pseudo code examples of middleware and application
software.

Middleware:
 In the most general terms, middleware software is any system software that is
not the OS kernel, device drivers, or application software. Note that some OSes may
integrate middleware into the OS executable (see Chapter 9). In short, in an embedded
system middleware is system software that typically sits on either the device drivers
or on top of the OS, and can sometimes be incorporated within the OS itself.

Figure
-1

Middleware is usually the software that mediates between application software

and the kernel or device driver software. Middleware is also software that mediates
and serves different application software. Specifically, middleware is an abstraction
layer generally used on embedded devices with two or more applications in order to
provide flexibility, security, portability, connectivity, intercommunication, and/or
interoperability mechanisms between applications.

One of the main strengths in using middleware is that it allows for the
reduction of the complexity of the applications by centralizing software infrastructure
that would traditionally be redundantly found in the application layer. However, in
introducing middleware to a system, one introduces additional overhead, which can
greatly impact scalability and performance. In short, middleware impacts the
embedded system at all layers.

There are many different types of middleware elements, including message

oriented middleware (MOM), object request brokers (ORBs), remote procedure calls
(RPCs), database/database access, and networking protocols above the device driver
layer and below the application layers of the OSI model. However, most types of
middleware commonly fall under one of two general categories:general-purpose,
meaning they are typically implemented in a variety of devices, such as networking
protocols above the device driver layer and below the application layers of the OSI
model, file systems, or some virtual machines such as the JVM.Market-specific,
meaning they are unique to a particular family of embedded systems, such as a digital
TV standard-based software that sits on an OS or JVM.

Whether general purpose or market-specific, a middleware element can be

further categorized as proprietary, meaning it is closed software supported by a
company that licenses it to others for use, or open, meaning it is standardized by some
industry committee and can be implemented and/or licensed by any interested party.

More complex embedded systems usually have more than one middleware
element, since it is unusual to find one technology that supports all specified
application requirements. In this case, the individual middleware elements are
typically selected based upon their interoperability with each other, so as to avoid
later problems in integration.

In some cases, integrated middleware packages of compatible middleware

elements are available commercially, off-the-shelf, for use in embedded systems, such
as the Sun embedded Java solutions, Microsoft's .NET Compact Framework, and
CORBA from the Object Management Group (OMG), to name a few. Many
embedded OS vendors also provide integrated middleware packages that run "out-of-
the-box" with their respective OS and hardware platform.
3.DESIGN:
There are already a lot of applications which use the geo-positioning. Garmin,
one of the famous GPS manufacturer, proposes maps of almost every countries in the
world ready to be download into their panel of GPS devices. Different kind of
applications for different kind of public: road maps and tracking, topologic maps for
technical job like geologist (for instance), lights map for pilots, etc.

Also it exist, for mountain activities like free ride, hacking, those automatic
signaling systems which switch on as soon as the rider get caught by an avalanche for
example. It transmits a radio signal to the closest relay and indicate the exact position
of the victim. It helps for the search and often save lives. The portable Tom-tom GPS
proposes a full navigation system with vocal indication.

The list of geo-positioning applications is huge and a simple search on the

Internetgives hundred web sites talking about the topic.

3.2 Object Relational Models

Introduction:

After developing the object relational models, CRC cards, and use case narratives, the
next step is to plan out the relation of objects. To accomplish this, we have created
communication, activity, and analysis diagrams to go with our previously created
object relational models. Using these developmental tools, we can further understand
how the objects in our system interact with each other and the outside world. Our
final goal remains to create a Global Positioning Tracking System that includes two
way communication and remote vehicle operation.

GPS Tracking and Location:

The user is able to access the system through the system interface. From
within the system interface within the vehicle that is linked together to the GPS
tracking unit, and through the GPS 2-way communication is provided to the Base
station. At the base station is where the database is located and through that relation
info is saved in which the user through all its relations can generate reports back to the
user.

4. SYSTEM TESTING :

Submitted By:- Amit Singh Baghel

 System testing of software or hardware is testing conducted on a complete,
integrated system to evaluate the system's compliance with its specified requirements.
System testing falls within the scope of black box testing, and as such, should require
no knowledge of the inner design of the code or logic.

As a rule, system testing takes, as its input, all of the "integrated" software
components that have successfully passed integration testing and also the software
system itself integrated with any applicable hardware system(s). The purpose of
integration testing is to detect any inconsistencies between the software units that are
integrated together (called assemblages) or between any of the assemblages and the
hardware. System testing is a more limited type of testing; it seeks to detect defects
both within the "inter-assemblages" and also within the system as a whole.

4.1. Screenshot 1:

This is a screenshot of Serial Monitor tool of Arduino environment.

It'sbaudrate is set to 4800. It shows that the GPS Module is working as expected and
the Arduino is sending the data to the serial port. One set of data is received every 20
seconds. The position data is accurate. Date and time are not correct at first, but then
after a few minutes it starts sending correct date-time.

4.2. Screenshot 2

Submitted By:- Amit Singh Baghel

 This picture shows the output of the python program that reads the serial data,
parses it, and stores the data into a dictionary data structure. The program also
converts the position values to float type. The date-time value is stored in string. This
dictionary data is then sent to the server which stores it in the database.

4.3. Screenshot 3:

 This is the screenshot of the server showing the last updated position of the
gps module. The position is very accurate. We tested it in our hostel, and the position
marked in the map is the exact position we were at.

5. OUTPUT:
Global Positioning System to determine the precise location (Longitude
&Latitude) of a vehicle, person, or other asset to which it is attached and to record the
position of the asset at regular intervals. The recorded location data can be stored
within the tracking unit, or it may be transmitted to a central location data base, or
internet-connected computer, using a cellular (GPRS or SMS), radio, or satellite
modem embedded in the unit. This allows the asset's location to be displayed against a
map backdrop either in real time or when analyzing the track later.

6.CONCLUSION& FUTURE ENHANCEMENT
A GPS also known as a Global Positioning System is a great technology that
is used to track objects around the world. The technology was developed by the US
military in an attempt to make success more seamless for the military this
technology is now being used all over the world and it is highly reliable that it is very
clear that this technology will be of more importance in the near future. You might
hear about the latest GPS tracking system making the buzz or who made or is using
the technology most but the fact is, what matters most isnt the origin of the
technology or who uses it but what is in it for you. There is no point in using
something if you wont be gaining anything from it. Many companies use GPS fleet
tracking software with their service employees and this has helped them reduce fuel
costs and increase work productivity. Below are some major advantages of using
a GPS tracking system.

Advantage:

GPS Tracking System Can be Used to Locate Lost Items:

The crime rate keeps on increasing in every part of the world and a lot of
highly valuable objects have been, and will, be stolen. It doesnt matter how irrelevant
you think an object or equipment is to others if it is something that is very expensive
you should make sure you install a GPS tracking system on it; for example, a $2
million violin was once stolen from a caf in London and the owner had a hard time
finding it, if the owner of this highly expensive violin had installed a GPS tracking
system in her violin it will be very easy for her to locate it.

It is almost impossible to reduce the crime rate in the world because new
technologies are emerging and it is new technologies that encourage crime and
stealing; however, you can make it easier for you to track any valuable object you
own by installing a GPStrackerinit.

 GPS Tracking System Can be Used to Track Things and People:

One great function of a GPS tracking system is that it can be used to track anything
irrespective of it being static or flexible, it can also be used to track people and
animals depending on what you need it for. Another great feature of a GPS tracking
system that makes it better is the alarm system it has; for example, you can easily
install a GPS tracking system in a vault where valuable goods are so that you can be
alarmed anytime someone is trying to steal them. You can also use the
GPS technology to ensure things are going fine with people working for you
especially if theyre doing a job that requires a high level of security and
confidentiality; this will be able to track them anywhere they go and when they go
there.

GPS Tracking System Can be Used Anywhere in the World:

An added advantage of the GPS tracking system is that it can be used

anywhere in the world; it doesnt matter whether youre in Africa or Asia the GPS
technology is powered by the world satellites and this means it can be accessible
anywhere; all you need is a solid tracking system and a GPS receiver.

Disadvantages:

Sometimes the GPS may fail due to certain reasons and in that case you need
to carry a backup map and directions.
If you are using GPS on a battery operated device, there may be a battery
failure and you may need a external power supply which is not always
possible.
Sometimes the GPS signals are not accurate due to some obstacles to the
signals such as buildings, trees and sometimes by extreme atmospheric
conditions such as geomagnetic storms.

Benefits:

Benefits include the prevention of labor fraud, speeding, idling, unauthorized

vehicle usage, and more. Here are a few of the most common benefits
immediately experienced by GPS Insight clients.
For parents, it takes some of the worry out of your kids driving long distances
home from college. You know where they are and when to expect them home.

 For baby-boomers, the shoe is on the other foot - it helps to take some of the
worry out of your elderly parents driving home from vacation or just driving
around town. You know where they are and this allows them to be more
independent.
GPS tracking is customer service at its finest. You know instantly which of
your drivers is closest to the customer needing help.
Imagine how thrilled your customers will be when you can tell them exactly
when to expect their delivery!
For employers, using GPS tracking allows you to know how fast your
employees are driving, how long a break they are taking (vehicle hasnt
moved), and if they are where they say they are!
GPS tracking also allows you to monitor fuel usage based on how fast your
employee is driving and the automatic mileage feature reminds you to
schedule, regular preventative maintenance.
GPS tracking is customer service at its finest! You know instantly which of
your drivers is closest to the customer needing help. And Imagine how thrilled
your customers will be when you can tell them exactly when to expect their
delivery!
GPS Tracking can eliminate the need for having your truckers fill out driving
logs.
Many insurance companies now offer discounts for vehicles protected with
tracking systems.

Advancement in GPS tracking system:

As global positioning technology continues to evolve, so too is the GPS

tracking software often used with many GPS tracking devices. With the combined
power of the Internet, and computer and satellite technology, GPS tracking software
for use with any GPS tracking device has grown to include more options than ever
before. Below you will find highlights of the latest features and advancements in the
industry of GPS tracking software.

Real-Time Updates:

Depending on the GPS tracking device used, GPS tracking software can
provide real-time, on screen reporting on the specific location of a person, parcel or
vehicle from any location in the world. This particular feature of GPS tracking
software has provided a cost-effective GPS tracking solution for several industries
including aviation, shipping and commercial fishing, where a GPS tracking device
can likely be found attached to every company asset.

Mapping:

Once considered to provide only crude renditions of the actual terrain, the
mapping capabilities of GPS tracking software have improved greatly over the last
few years. With many types of GPS tracking software fully integrating with readily
available resources such as Google Earth and Microsoft Virtual Earth, GPS tracking
software can now provide detailed real photo maps of the location of any GPS
tracking device.In addition, some GPS tracking software applications will now
accommodate the use of customized digital, paper or marine maps in the event that
standard mapping options do not provide the needed details.

Simultaneous Tracking:

GPS tracking software can now be used to track and map the location of more
than one GPS tracking device at a time. Using highly- sophisticated technology, GPS
tracking software now offers the ability to see an entire fleet of vehicles, given that
each one is fitted with a GPS tracking device, on one screen.

Web Applications:

As the speed of Internet connections continues to increase, the ease of offering

online-based GPS tracking software does as well. Some providers of GPS tracking
software are now offering web-based access to GPS tracking software for a monthly
subscription or yearly licensing fee. One major advantage of web-based GPS tracking
software is that the software is constantly updated by the provider, leaving little or no
maintenance for the subscriber to be concerned with.

In addition, some providers of web-based GPS tracking software will allow

private-branding of their applications so that licensees can sell subscriptions to their
own customers. This presents a unique opportunity for any GPS tracking device
dealer or entrepreneur who wants to create residual monthly income based on selling
GPS tracking software subscriptions to the customer who purchases a GPS tracking
device.

GPS tracking software and GPS tracking devices, like most other forms of
technology including computers and cell phones, have experienced great
advancements in the last decade. As the cost of the average GPS tracking device
continues to decline, GPS tracking is becoming more affordable and in demand for
individuals and small businesses than ever before, making GPS tracking and GPS
tracking software one of the smartest business choices of the 21st Century.
