GPS as a car locator solution
If you want to locate a car effectively, then GPS offers the best way to
do so accurately and reliably. Part of the car locator solution involves
attaching a simple GPS receiver to the vehicle, and then transmitting
the location data via radio waves or wireless GSM to a central location.
It is there that the real work in establishing the location of the car
is done. The car locator itself is nothing more than a simple piece of
electronics to receive and redistribute the signals from GPS satellites.
The car locator software enables the central site to locate the vehicle
on a map of the area which can help in being able to coordinate
collections of cars, or as part of a telemetric solution which is used
in fleet management. In fact many companies now augment their
collections of GPS navigation and telemetric systems with additional
software developed especially for this market.
From the point of view of the consumer, a car locator system can be very
useful in providing protection against car theft. It is very difficult
for a thief to get away with the acquisition of a car which is fitted
with e GPS receiver and radio transmitter, and this system has been
piloted successfully in many countries and offers possibly the best
future for protection against the theft of luxury cars.
Other kinds of car locator services can also help with navigation,
without the necessity to have expensive electronics in the vehicle to
process the GPS signals, but this kind of service is still in its
infancy.
