GPS Tracking for Business and Personal Use

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made up of 24 satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense. These satellites circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit signal information to earth.

Special ground receivers, GPS tracking devices, can use this information to determine the latitude, longitude, altitude, speed and bearing of the person or object being tracked. Originally intended for military use, GPS was made publicly available by the U.S. government in 1983 after Korean Air Lines Flight 007 was shot down by Soviet aircraft after straying into prohibited airspace due to navigational errors.

GPS tracking has a wide range of business and personal uses. Our private investigators use GPS tracking in situations where physically following a person or item is neither possible nor sensible.
