Have you heard about some of the new technology that makes GPS tracking for cars accessible to normal people like you and me? GPS technology is becoming increasingly available to consumers at every level of life, and because of this we are constantly finding new and interesting ways to apply this technology. The ability to track a car, whether it is for safety reasons or to catch a cheating spouse, is now well within the means of anyone with access to the car and a hundred or so dollars.

The Basics of GPS Tracking
Right now, as you sit and read this article, there are at least 24 satellites orbiting the earth 11 nautical miles above its surface. These same satellites transmit a signal that specialized receivers are able to pick up. Within each signal that the the satellite is broadcasting is some important information that a GPS receiver is going to use to generate position information in the form of a longitude and latitude. This information is the position of the satellite and the time the signal was sent.
