How GPS Tracking Works

Diagram How it works
  1. GPS satellites send location data to the vehicle-based Skypatrol receiving hardware.
  2. Skypatrol hardware combines location information with vehicle data such as ignition status, speed and idling time.
  3. The data is then sent over a national wireless network to the Skypatrol operations center.
  4. The data is always available for you to view on your Skypatrol account through the internet.
  5. Authorized users on your account have 24/7 access to all your vehicles’ current and historical activities.
