How Does GPS Tracking Work? GPS stands for Global Positioning System. Transmits signals between a network of satellites that orbit the earth and receivers in vehicles on the ground. A GPS tracking device is a receiver in a vehicle that uses simultaneous signals from multiple satellites to calculate speed and location at a particular point in time. This information can then be recorded and displayed. Most modern GPS systems are accurate to within a few feet. Fleet GPS tracking systems collect and record driver data that is then transmitted from the GPS receiver to other locations via a wireless network. The information can be sent in real-time. Fleet managers can then use this real-time data to dispatch drivers, find the closest vehicle, verify time sheets, and evaluate driver behavior over time. Combining GPS tracking with wireless networks and powerful software allows fleet managers to have more control than ever before.
