An active GPS can tell you where that vehicle is right now. Installation is swift and easy, you will find no monthly charges, and complete historical GPS coordinates are recorded and saved in tracking logs which might be accessible on the net. The other type of GPS devices are “Real Time” GPS tracking units.
These allow one to instantly see the location of the GPS tracking device. Instead of having a recording device like the Historical GPS tracking devices, they have a built in transmitter that sends the GPS location information back to a central computer. As an end user, you’re able to login to a computer and track the GPS device in real time. How is this data being sent back? Over the cellular phone network. This is why monthly service fees are associated with Real Time GPS tracking devices.

GPS vehicle trackers come in two types: active and historical. A historical GPS activates when the vehicle moves and can record a vehicle movement for up to two weeks. When downloaded, you can see the approximate location of the vehicle at documented times and speeds. Live GPS Tracking will send you a text message with a link which provides you with a map and a pinpoint on it showing you where the unit currently is. For those who need more information however you can receive a pure text message that provides you with the following: Latitude & Longitude (manually plotable via the website), speed, direction, time, and current battery level of the unit.
Just like your cell phone, there are limitations to a real time GPS tracking unit. If it doesn’t have cellular service, then it can’t send information back to you. There are two types of GPS tracking devices on the market. We’ll first cover the “Historical” GPS tracking devices.

These units are similar to a simple GPS device, however, they have a recorder built in which records the location of the device (at certain intervals). So, one could place a Historical GPS tracking unit on top of a vehicle, wait for its return, remove the GPS tracking unit, and then analyze the data to see where the device has been, how fast it traveled, how long it was stationary at its different locations, etc.
These units are usually lower in cost and require no monthly fees.

Historical vehicle tracking works like this. The taxi goes out, picks up fares, stops for gas, and all the other things that generally happen on a taxi run. While all this is happening, the GPS unit inside the car is recording locations, speeds, stop times, fare lengths, and all the other information you need to know to effectively manage your fleet.
When the taxi returns to the taxi headquarters, the data can be removed, usually by wireless or a transfer mechanism like a thumb drive – and fed into the main fleet management software. The other alternative to the real time GPS fleet tracking solutions is the historical vehicle tracking system.
The TravelEyes2™ is an amazing GPS vehicle Mini GPS Tracker used for monitoring the travel activities of private vehicles, and as an aid in keeping travel records for tax purposes.
