The most common example of GPS usage is accessing Google Maps—a navigation application that utilises GPS technology and an internet connection to guide drivers in finding the best routes and estimated travel times to their destinations.
GPS was first introduced in the 1970s for United States military purposes through the U.S. Department of Defense. To this day, GPS technology continues to evolve.
What Is a GPS Tracker?
A GPS tracker is an application or software accessible via mobile phones and laptops that allows for tracking the location of specific objects previously equipped with a GPS device.
The use of GPS trackers is essential—particularly for businesses in vehicle and heavy equipment rental, logistics, mining, plantations, cargo, freight forwarding, and delivery—due to the high risk of asset embezzlement and vehicle theft. With a GPS tracker, your vehicles are easier to track and locate based on their precise GPS coordinates.
GPS Tracker Functions
The primary function of a GPS tracker is to monitor the location of a car or object in real time. With technological advancements, various sensors can now be integrated into GPS trackers, providing a range of additional functions that are highly valuable to you as a business owner.

Remote Vehicle Shutdown / Start Prevention
With the Start Prevent feature, you have full control over each of your vehicles. You can shut off the engine in the event of theft, failure to return the vehicle, late payment by a renter, and various other situations.
When Start Prevent is activated, the vehicle's engine does not shut off immediately; instead, the vehicle cannot be restarted when one attempts to use it. This measure is designed to prevent accidents and avoid endangering others.
Temperature Monitoring
Logistics companies specialising in the transport of food and frozen goods must ensure that cargo temperatures do not undergo drastic fluctuations, which could lead to spoilage. Cartrack offers the perfect solution: our Temperature Monitor ensures the freshness of your cargo, provides alerts regarding sudden temperature changes, and generates temperature reports that you can present upon delivery. These reports are essential for preventing disputes with your customers.

For vehicles equipped with CAN-Bus, Cartrack can integrate this with the MiFleet feature to connect directly to the dashboard and obtain accurate odometer data for your vehicle.
This sensor allows you to obtain information regarding the location and timing of cargo door openings and closings. Using a door sensor provides users with added peace of mind, as it helps prevent the theft of goods.
Power Take Off (PTO) Sensor
The PTO sensor tracks equipment activity on your construction vehicles—such as dozers, excavators, trucks, conveyor belts, rollers, and compactors. PTO reports enable you to distinguish between productive and unproductive idling.
