How GPS vehicle tracking works

At its core, GPS vehicle tracking combines satellite signals with telecommunication networks to determine a vehicle’s real-time location. A tracking device installed in the vehicle captures data such as location, speed and ignition status, and transmits it to a central server. Users then access this information through a mobile app or web platform.
