GPS Stands for Global Positioning System. It is use to track the location of an entity or object remotely. The technology can pinpoint longitude, latitude, ground speed, and course direction of the target.
Total GPS in orbit is 31 satellite and 9 satellite are in reserve and Total Distance Of this satellite from earth is equal to almost 7 time for driving of vehicle from Kashmir to kanyakumari. The system was originally developed by the US government for military navigation & then it was using for science sector and has now become sufficiently low-cost so that almost anyone can own a GPS and many do in a smartphones, tablet or GPS navigation device.
GPS tracking is invaluable for police, fire-fighters, military personnel and large courier businesses. Many of these use automatic vehicle locator (AVL) systems. AVL systems generally include a network of vehicles that are each equipped with a mobile radio receiver, a GPS receiver, a GPS modem and a GPS antenna. This network connects with a base radio consisting of a PC computer station as well as a GPS receiver and interface. GPS uses interactive maps rather than static map images on the Web.
AVL systems can be used to increase the accountability of field personnel and boost the efficiency of a company’s dispatching procedure through tracking and communication.
