| Know About GPS Car Tracking Systems |
With a GPS (Global Positioning System) car tracking system, a car can be tracked on a computer map at a central monitoring station. These gadgets come in a range of prices depending on features and there is an additional monthly charge.
The Lojack system relies on two devices - a transponder and a receiver. The receiver is mounted to police cars, and the transponder is put inside your car. When you report your car stolen, the police send out a signal that activates the device in your car. The Teletracer by Teletrac does not use the GPS. However, when tripped, it transmits a signal ultimately received by a central monitoring station. There is a monthly fee for Teletracer.
GPS tracking systems offered by such companies as ATX Technologies and RoadTrac are very efficient. These systems use the GPS satellite network to track your car on a computer screen. Some of these systems also include a cellular phone for verbal communication with the operator at the central station. The cellular phone also allows the operator to listen in on what is happening in the car. Moreover, some of these systems include a "panic button" to alert the operator at the central station that there is a medical emergency and help is required.
Some also include a feature that permits you to track your own car via the Internet. You can also use the cellular phone to contact the central station to obtain directions to a destination. |
