What is GPS?

• GPS stands for the Global Positioning System. It refers to a system of satellites and receivers that allow people and devices to pinpoint their precise location on the Earth. The heart of the system relies on 24 satellites that orbit the planet twice per day.

• The first GPS satellite was launched in 1974 and the 24th was launched in 1994. the system is operated by the United States Department of Defense and its use is free for anyone.

• One of the important feature of GPS Tracking software using GPS Tracking devices in geo-fencing and its ability to help keep track of assets. Geo-fencing allows users of a GPS Tracking Solution to draw zones (i. e. a Geo Fence) around places of work, customer’s sites and secure areas.

Introduction

What is Geo-Fencing?

• A Geo Fence is a virtual perimeter on a geographic area using a location-based service, so that when the geo fencing device enters or exits the area, a notification is generated. The notification can contain information about the location of the device and might be sent to a mobile telephone or an email account.

• For geo-fencing, we used Polygonal geo-fencing method where a polygon is drawn around the route or area. Using this method, GPS Tracking devices can be tracked either inside or outside of the polygon.

Background

• When we run and enter latitude and longitude outside the polygon, then a message shows point not found in the route and otherwise it shows point found in the route.

Determining a Point

Islamabad Geo-Fencing Zone

• Using the GPS tracking technology to locate your children from any PC or Smart Phone for safety can raise a wide range of alerts when the child enters or leaves a predefined area such as school or home. It’s mostly used in developed countries.

• Ankle and Wrist Bracelet GPS tracker for prisoners and offender.
