Latest Passive Vehicle Tracking Devices Affordable, Practical

WOODSTOCK, IL – Gone are the days when Dad has to check the odometer on his Chrysler to see if Junior’s been taking a joy ride.
With the help of a passive GPS tracking device, a parent will know; not only if the teen took an unauthorized trip, he’ll know when he took it, where he went, and how fast he was driving.
Using that same technology: an investigator can gather enough evidence to pick up a suspect on drug charges; and an employer can discover why his profit margin is tanking, while overtime is going up.
There are so many practical uses for passive GPS tracking systems today, they are infiltrating everyday life. Most models are small, self-contained and lightweight; they are rather nondescript so they can be placed almost anywhere, and they are very simple to use.
GPS tracking systems have come a long way from the first commercially introduced product by LandAirSea Systems, in 1996. Now more than a dozen years later, prices are down and value is up. Consumers also have more choices and can easily find a vehicle tracking device that suits them, based on style, features and price.
LandAirSea is a leader in the industry for passive GPS tracking systems. Its two newest passive vehicle tracking models are the GPS Tracking Key® and GPS TracKing®, which are similar in function and features, and yet decidedly unique.
The GPS Tracking Key®, LandAirSea’s highly popular and practical vehicle tracking unit, has held its high ranking since it was introduced to market in 2006.
The GPS TracKing® is a GPS tracking device that debuted in Spring, 2009 at the International Security Conference (ISC) West in Las Vegas, NV. The LandAirSea model, two years’ in the making, is sleek and sophisticated and represents a new generation in the LandAirSea family of passive vehicle tracking devices.
How Passive GPS Tracking Devices Work
GPS as a concept – locating an object on Earth by capturing radio signals from an orbiting satellite – has been around since the 1950s, with the advent of space exploration. Twenty-four Department of Defense satellites are orbiting the planet. When a GPS tracking receiver captures signals from at least three satellites, that receiver’s location is accurately determined by a mathematical method called triangulation.
The U.S. military was an early user. GPS tracking technology really took off in use in the 1970s, but it wasn’t until 2000 that the general public was permitted free access to the government-owned GPS satellite system.
Vehicle tracking devices follow the movement, direction and speed of any vehicle or other asset. The object’s travels can be viewed on a personal computer.
Passive Versus Active Vehicle Tracking Systems
Active GPS tracking systems report location coordinates in “real-time,” as they happen. To accomplish this, the data is transmitted from receiver to remote computer via a wireless network.
Passive vehicle tracking devices record travel history for later download and analysis on a PC. Because they do not use a cellular network, users are not financially burdened with the ongoing monthly service fees associated with active or “real-time” GPS counterparts.
