How GPS Tracking Works

ACCURATE POSITIONING

TRCKMAG uses both assisted GPS and standalone GPS to ensure the most accurate location. This is the fastest and most accurate way to get a location fix.

Assisted GPS is a positioning service available through the cell carrier and uses local cell towers to help triangulate the location of a device. TRCKMAG uses Standalone GPS when it has a clear view of the sky and it is able to lock onto the many GPS satellites flying over our heads to get a location fix. In order for the device to get a location fix it has to have good signal. Due to the limitations of the technology, the device will not work inside a metal structure.
