Inside the Vehicle
Map Suite GPS Tracking Server is one of the most powerful and versatile GPS tracking software platforms available for your business. But how does GPS tracking itself work? This topic provides a basic overview of the process.
Inside the Vehicle
The process begins with the asset you're tracking — for example, a vehicle like this delivery van. First, you'll need to install a GPS tracking device in the vehicle. This device talks to the Global Positioning satellites to obtain the precise position of the vehicle, and may also user other things like the ignition, door locks, and accessory systems.
Communications
Next, the GPS tracking device communicates this information over the Internet to the Map Suite GPS Tracking Server servers, usually via a terrestrial communication network such as a GSM cellular system. Depending on the device and the network it supports, it may transmit in real-time, or based on a schedule.
Map Suite GPS Tracking Server Servers
When the Map Suite GPS Tracking Server server receives your vehicle information, it records it in a database. At the same time, Map Suite GPS Tracking Server can check the data for evidence of speeding violations, emergency situations, or any other condition you've asked it to user, and react accordingly. A continuous flow of information from the GPS tracking device to the Map Suite GPS Tracking Server server means a complete history of movement and status is stored right there in the database.
Map Suite GPS Tracking Server Web Portal
Finally, when you want to see the location of your vehicle, you can log into the Map Suite GPS Tracking Server web portal any time, day or night, and use Map Suite GPS Tracking Server's full array of tools to display location, speed, route history, and much more.
