Why Real-Time GPS Trackers Have Service Fees
The majority of consumers and companies seeking a GPS tracking solution want a device that offers real-time access to driving activity. They want to be able to go to a website via cellular phone or computer and quickly locate where a driver is at and everywhere that driver has been. Of course, real-time GPS trackers provide this ability, but what surprises most of these people is that in order to have this live monitoring service a monthly service obligation is required.
Why Are There Fees For GPS Tracking?
Real-time GPS trackers such as the SilverCloud system acquire low-level radio frequencies from satellites in constant orbit of the Earth. These satellites operated by the Department of Defense communicate with a component of the real-time GPS tracker known as a GPS receiver to determine speed, altitude, position and a variety of other locational information and data. Basically, all of this positional and locational data is stored to internal memory on the GPS tracker, but in order for the end-user to access it from a computer in a remote location, the GPS data stored upon internal memory must be transmitted to an off-site server. In order to do this, the GPS tracker must communicate with local telematics networks (cellular towers) using a component on the device known as a cellular data module. As anyone with a cellular phone already probably understands, telematics companies such as Verizon Wireless and AT&T don't let people use their networks for free. Therefore, in order to transmit data to the off-site server that will allow the user to access positional information on a website in real-time, the data must first be transmitted over cellular towers. The monthly service comes from the transmission of data over those cellular towers.

Court GPS Tracker Decision May Reach Cell Phones
Privacy is something that has vanished at an increasingly exponential rate as technology has progressed. That is because with all of the vast benefits associated with technological devices; computers, smart phones and websites are now essentially programmed to monitor what people do in order to create a more personalized, user-friendly experience. While many people have embraced how search engines, websites and smart phones have recorded personal information to market products and services more specific to what that individual may be interested in, many others have raised concerns about privacy. Although nothing in the short-term suggests search giants and smart phone manufacturers will no longer analyze data collected via cookies and GPS tracker data, a recent Supreme Court decision regarding the police use of GPS tracking devices could impact the way personal information is collected from popular electronics devices.
When a case involving law enforcement who equipped a suspected drug dealer's automobile with a GPS tracker went to the Supreme Court, gadget enthusiasts, police agencies and privacy advocates all waited and stood by with a watchful eye. That is because the decision, whichever way it was decided, was believed by many to be ground-breaking, and precedent setting for years to come. What the Supreme Court Justices proclaimed in a closely decided 5-4 vote was that police would not be given the freedom to place a GPS vehicle tracker on a vehilcle without first obtaining permission in the form of a warrant. Basically, the decision stated that police would not be allowed to track or monitor any person. But if it is not acceptable for police to monitor private citizen activity, why is it still okay for businesses to monitor people?

Relationship Verification GPS Trackers Change World
For as long as there have been people in romantic relationships, there have been people cheating on their significant others. Cheating is one of the main causes for early termination of a relationship because nobody wants to get some disgusting sexually transmitted disease or worse. Cheating shows a lack of character and a complete disregard for the significant other’s feelings. Although there really is no way to stop a person from cheating, catching a cheater has gotten a whole lot easier thanks to the advancement of GPS tracking devices designed specifally for relationship verification.
Imagine if your significant other began receiving sexual text messages late at night, began being secretive about social network activity or staying out later and later. Although these types of behaviors do not necessarily equate to cheating, they are widely recognized as some of the warning signs that cheating could potentially be occurring. Today, people who believe infidelity may be looming in their relationship are fighting back through the use of GPS vehicle tracking equipment.

Infidelity Looms On Lover's Holiday
When people think of Valentine's Day they probably think of roses, candy and chocolate, not GPS tracking systems. They think of romance and passion, not real-time surveillance monitoring. Although Valentine's Day is the holiday of love, it is also a time when some people in committed relationships cheat. This is also the time cheaters can most easily be busted for their infidelity, and why many people in romantic relationships use GPS vehicle trackers to monitor their spouse or significant other on Valentine's Day.
Valentine's Day is celebrated in different ways by different couples, but typically no man or woman can get away without doing something with their partner on that day. This often results in cheaters letting their guard down, allowing them to be much more likely to get busted. Everyone has to acknowledge Valentine's Day, and this is why those in relationships who believe their spouse or partner could be a lying, cheating scumbag call upon the technology that initially became popularized among business GPS fleet tracking operations.
Exposing The Truth
A GPS tracker can identify the exact location a possible cheating spouse is at, along with every place they were at throughout that day. The GPS vehicle tracking data will also provide the addresses of those recorded stops, duration of time that person was at each location and more. This makes it easy for a spouse or person in a relationship to compare driving activity to the story offered, making it easy to discover if a person is really telling the truth about having to work late at the office.
