Ever since GPS technology has become mainstream people have been wondering how they can use it to track things in real time and a few companies have invented some novel devices that allow you to do it.

For clarity we’re going to break the electronics down into two parts.

We have the BEACON which is the part of the system that moves around and relays its’ position to the RECEIVER which shows the user the positional data or whereabouts of the beacon.

There are two basic approaches to relaying the beacon positional data back to the receiver and each of them have (more…)

I’m active in different parts of the Internet and in my travels around I’ve noticed that there’s some people out there that have a little paranoia about GPS Tracking Systems in the sense that maybe themselves or their vehicle is being tracked.

Todays technology makes all this possible and in fact really easy to do. Bur keep in mind that these devices are still quite large so it would be pretty obvious if someone were to put one in your gym bag or purse.

So far the hardware that is ‘dedicated‘ to GPS tracking is (more…)

Quoox GPS Tracker is a free service to live-track any kind of GPS device. The only thing needed is a device which has the capability to upload its’ current GPS data to the Quoox Tracker Service.

The tracking service at this time supports the Pocket PC 2003/SE, Windows Mobile 5 and the Windows Mobile 6 operating systems with their own software or you can purchase a copy of the MaspWare GPSMeter program (3rd party).

The service is completely free for private use and it’s also really easy to use. Just register your own unique tracker id, it’s almost as simple as that. Use any client software with you device and start tracking!

When everything is up and running you can track the position of the GPS device using a simple and familiar Google Earth Web Interface on the Quoox Web Site.

I’ve noticed a lot of people on the internet that are looking to find their lost cell phone with GPS capability or their GPSs that might have been stolen out of their car.

Since there’s so much interest in this subject I though that I would just let all those that are interest to know - that there is no way to track a stolen GPS.

A GPS receives signals from satellites (there are about (more…)
