A car tracker is a GPS enabled device that tracks the position of your car in real-time and reports to you upon request. Car trackers have many other functions like reporting the condition of your engine, reporting the condition of your battery, reporting over speeding and many more conditions of the car.

Car trackers use General Positioning System (GPS) to track vehicles. GPS uses satellites to find coordinates of any targeted object on earth as it reports its position.

Some car trackers are Active while some are Passive.

Active car trackers give driving data in real-time. It sends the location of the car, current speed, etc to a server that can then be observed with a mobile app.

Passive car trackers store the driving information in a drive embedded in the device.  This information can be retrieved anytime and viewed on a computer
