Updated primer on GPS tracking (2025): how modern trackers work, device types, common uses, accuracy and battery trade-offs, and privacy/legal considerations.
Renting a dedicated GPS is still useful for remote hiking, marine navigation, and professional tasks. Book early, confirm maps and accuracy needs, test the unit at home, and ensure everyone uses the same coordinate format.
Modern GPS trackers pair multi-constellation positioning with cellular, Bluetooth, or satellite links to support vehicle tracking, personal safety, and fleet telematics. Choose connectivity, battery life, and privacy features that fit your needs.
Automotive GPS uses satellite signals (and often multiple GNSS constellations) to provide meter-level positioning, real-time routing, traffic updates, and telematics for drivers and fleets. Modern systems combine on-board sensors and connected data for more reliable guidance.
GPS watches combine satellite positioning and onboard sensors to record routes, monitor heart rate and calories, provide navigation, sync to apps, and offer safety features like incident detection and SOS.
Modern vehicle tracking combines GNSS positioning, cellular and satellite comms, and cloud telematics to deliver real-time location, geofencing, diagnostics and fleet intelligence for theft prevention and operational efficiency.
