What makes GPS the vehicle tracking system of choice among civilians? Predictably enough, it's its efficiency.

GPS is currently the only Global National Satellite System (GNSS) in the world that is fully operational. Its advanced satellite system is second only to none. The best part of GPS, however, is that it is being regulated and maintained exclusively by the government. What does this mean to you, the regular civilian/motorist? Well, it means that its navigational services are completely cost-effective for you, making GPS a very reliable and attractive protocol for vehicle tracking.

Most of the vehicle tracking systems today utilize either radio frequencies or GPRS as their communication protocol between the transmitter and the receiver. For example, LoJack and the LORAN vehicle tracking systems make use of radio frequencies to keep tracking of vehicles on the road. The GPS, on the other hand, utilizes microwave signals as satellite frequencies transmitted by at least 24 medium Earth orbit satellites to precisely track down a vehicle's direction, speed, and location based on its transmitter. The sophisticated technology involved is completely free of charge, explaining the popularity of GPS above other national systems used at the civilian level.

GPS signals are also strong enough not to be broken by obstructions below. Direct line of sight is not necessary to maintain the tracking, unlike other satellite-based navigational systems. Your vehicle can go under a tunnel and it can still be tracked by GPS.

Due to its versatility and technology, GPS can also be used for tracking other things aside from vehicles, such as navigational gears used in hiking or other outdoor activities. Environmental applications like checking atmospheric conditions and the gravity levels across the planet's surface also benefit from GPS.
