This recorded information can be relayed in real-time by a mobile network (if the tracker is equipped with a data transmission system). Data can also be downloaded manually from the device when it is recovered. This type of device is also called a data logger. All this data takes on meaning when it is processed by the software, which translates location information into points on a map. GPS geolocation system, how does it work?

The terrestrial coordinates of the receiver are calculated and then converted into geographic co
