There are several different reasons that a person might think about installing a real time GPS tracking device in their car. With a Real Time GPS Tracking System, you can obtain detailed and current information about the vehicle that is being tracked through wireless networks. It is called 'Real Time' because you are getting information as it happens. Real Time car trackers require a monthly subscription for a SIM card which is installed in the tracking service. The card sends the information received from the satellite to a secure website where the data can be accessed by authorised individuals to follow the movements of a vehicle in real time.

A person might be a business owner and they want to improve the efficiency of their fleet or provide some incentives to increase driver output. Others might want to make sure that their teenage child is following the family rules when using the family vehicle. But, most users can use this to keep a tab on their drivers to ensure their cars aren't being misused. The list goes on. Many vehicle owners also install tracking devices to aid in recovery in the event of vehicle theft. A car tracking device is an indispensable tool when monitoring a car's location is necessary.

A car tracker also acts as a fuel monitor. It can tell you exactly what is the fuel economy 44of the car and how much fuel has been put in. This information helps in keeping tabs on your driver or child.

You also have a feature where you can pre-set speed limit for the car. If the driver exceeds the speed then you will immediately receive a text message or a notification on your mobile phone. All GPS tracking devices consist of at least two important components . First, of course is a GPS receiver and second is a wireless antenna that provides the location information of your car from the device to the person who wants to know this information.
