GPS tracking basics
Global Positioning System (GPS)
The Global Positioning System (GPS) consists of more than 30 satellites in constant orbit around the world. At any given time a number of GPS satellites are in a line of sight from any place on earth. A GPS receiver listens to signals from these satellites and uses the distance to multiple satellites (known as triangulation) to locate its position with high accuracy.
GPS has an accuracy of a few meters under good conditions. GPS works best in open environments as the signals from the GPS satellites are quite weak and fade when the line of sight is obscured by obstacles such as buildings.

The process of tracking a vehicle can be split into these three steps:
