Types Of GPS Tracking Devices:
GPS Logging Device: These are
passive GPS tracking devices. These GPS devices store and record
information received from GPS satellites in space. When the user would
like to see where the device has been, they can take the device plug it into a
computer and download the information from the device. The
Trackstick and
Trackstick Pro are two such
logging devices. The benefits of these devices is that they are fairly
inexpensive and have no monthly service fee associated with them.

devices receives information from GPS satellites in space. Once received,
the information is transmitted back to a user, who can view the information.
Two popular ways the GPS tracking device transmits location information is via a

These GPS devices are permanently installed into your vehicle. There is
usually a "brain" which includes the GPS receiver and a transmitter module for
sending the data out. The "brain" is generally placed under or inside the
dash area of your vehicle, along with a small external antenna (included with
device). GPS antennas can read signals through most materials except
metal.
Personal GPS Devices: These are
typically smaller sized devices that have a built-in internal battery. Our
Personal GPS trackers have a typical battery range from 10 - 30 days.
These GPS tracking devices can be used to track people, property and even
vehicles.

Satellite Tracker & Messenger: The
SPOT satellite tracker messenger is a pretty powerful, low priced satellite
tracking device. It works pretty much around the world and here is why:
The device receives GPS location data and transmits the data backup to a
satellite. The SPOT unit works where cell phones fail, as it uses
satellite to satellite transmissions. Now, here is why SPOT is pretty darn
cool. For around $100 per year, SPOT is a device that calls for help when
you need it, press the "911" button on SPOT and it notifies GEOS International
Emergency Response Center every five minutes until cancelled. GEOS in turn
will contact your local emergency service provider, be it the Coast Guard,
Sheriff's Department, Police Department, etc. For an additional $49 per
year, SPOT can be used to record your tracks that other people who have access
to your account can view online. You can learn about the additional
