How Does GPS Tracking Work?

A vehicular GPS system from MagnoTrack works by utilizing a combination of satellite signals, a tracking device installed in the vehicle, and a data connection that allows real-time location tracking via a mobile app or web platform.

Here’s how it works:

• GPS Tracking Device Installation: The MagnoTrack GPS unit is installed in the vehicle, typically connected to the car’s battery. This ensures that the device remains powered on and active while the vehicle is in use.

• Satellite Communication: The GPS device receives signals from satellites orbiting the Earth. By calculating the time it takes for the signals to travel from the satellites to the device, it can pinpoint the exact location of the vehicle with high accuracy.

• Mobile or Web App: After installation, the user selects a subscription plan for the MagnoTrack system. This plan connects the device to a cellular network, allowing data to be sent from the vehicle's GPS unit to a cloud-based system.

• Real-Time Location Tracking: Through the MagnoTrack mobile app or web platform, users can view the vehicle's current location in real time. The app displays the vehicle’s exact position on a map, along with additional data like speed, route, and whether the vehicle is moving or stationary.

• Subscription Plans and Features: Users can choose from various subscription plans depending on their needs. These plans offer features such as real-time tracking, geofencing (alerts when the vehicle enters or exits specific areas), route history, maintenance reminders, and theft prevention tools.
