GPS Tracking

Tracking the Adventures of Agent Westen

Now in its fifth season, USA Network’s hit television action/drama series “Burn Notice” has solidified its position as one of the network’s flagship programs.  The show follows the trials and tribulations of agent Michael Westen, a former covert operations specialist who has been “burned” by his intelligence agency.  Left abandoned and without access to his former contacts and assets after a blown operation in Nigeria, agent Westen is left “on ice” in Miami, Florida.  If he leaves Miami, he will be hunted and taken into custody; if he stays, he will remain relatively independent.  In order to fund his ongoing investigation into who put out the burn notice on him and why, agent Westen takes up freelance assignments as a private investigator, helping Miami locals while continuing to investigate the mysteries behind his personal situation.  In one of the show’s recent episodes, Westen utilizes the aid of a LandAirSea Systems Tracking Key in order to track a suspect.  Check out the scene below:

Since the GPS is a receiver and not a transmitter, passive GPS Tracking devices lack a transmission device such as a cellular uplink module that sends the GPS data from the vehicle.  Therefore, the passive GPS Tracking devices, also known as data loggers, are primarily recording devices. 

GPS data loggers have an internal flash memory, a memory card slot or a USB port. They can store GPS data gathered from the asset to which they are attached. The stored GPS data can be downloaded into a computer for further analysis. The GPS data recorded includes speed, location, and time or how long the device remained stationary. With LandAirSea GPS tracking systems. The stored GPS data can then be downloaded via USB port and the animated route could be viewed with Google Earth. These passive GPS tracking devices are used by sports enthusiasts while jogging or backpacking to calculate the length and duration of a trip. They can be used by parents for teenage tracking and by private investigators. They give the freedom of not having to track the target asset or vehicle closely.

Not all passive GPS Tracking devices are created equal.   When considering a passive unit, comparisons should be based upon accuracy, sensitivity, frequency of sampling points, power resources, reliability, and software that translates this raw data into an effective tracking resource tool. 

The LandAirSea passive GPS Tracking devices include the GPS Tracking Key and GPS Tracking System 3100 series
