Gone are the times when people thought the world was flat. Thanks to the first navigators of the earth who bravely crossed the seas and climbed the mountains during the primitive days of yesteryears, we now know that we are all united through lands and waters. And for those who never comprehended how to operate the compass, the good news is that technology lets us to rely on new devices to help us tour the earth.

Global Positioning System or GPS navigation was originally created for military use in the '70s before it has been made available publicly more than a decade ago. Since then, crossing the unknown streets of another city or exploring roads of another nation has become faster and simpler.

It has undoubtedly helped us a lot in so many ways. There are other kinds of GPS tracking tools apart from the one that helps us reach our destination quicker by literally telling us which roads we need to take when we are driving. Some help authorities to crack crimes, recapture stolen cars and other valuables, locate lost people, and many other benefits.

A publicly available GPS tracker can help regular citizens like us keep our loved ones protected. We can pin these tracking tools to our children, the elderly, or even our pets so we can effortlessly locate them in case they get lost. For exercise-driven people such as joggers, hikers, and bicyclists, they use GPS systems for trekking and for determining the distance they have covered.

GPS pinpoints locations by broadcasting signals from satellites. Among other things, it makes land surveying more exact by plotting precise points of reference, and also prevents disasters by mapping movements of storms, forest fires, and other catastrophies. It is also helpful in aviation and naval routing by aiding pilots and captains or fishermen in navigation.

With a GPS tracker, business owners can keep an eye on their vehicles or vans effortlessly at anytime. It can help them determine the most effective routes for their drivers to take, record their unauthorized stops, avoid unnecessary delays, and even find out if their vehicle is in trouble. The past one is possible if their GPS tracker has a geofencing feature, which retricts a company's traveling workers or those driving a vehicle to a specified approved area. If the car is hijacked or in trouble or if the employee goes out of the allowed boundary, the company would be notified right away.
