Brief Introduction
Our real time tracking system contains two parts, one is hardware GPS trackers and the other is real time tracking software LiveGTS. The whole working procedure is like this, Suppose you buy LiveGTS software and GPS vehicle tracker PT300 from us, you provide us a domain name specially as your tracking website, we program out LiveGTS software binding with the domain name, then send a software download link to you for installing on your own server, we can also free install for you remotely if you need. At the same time you install PT300 on your car, and correctly make GPRS setting as instructed in its user manual, so PT300 will search out data from the satellites and automatically report to this sever with LiveGTS, Then you can real time tracking your devices via entering your tracking website. Also you can create different sub-account for your different clients to provide real time tracking service to them.
How GPS trackers send data to the server?

Briefly, GPS device receives the signal from the satellites, when the data is received, the device will calculate the location by some math formula. The data from three satellites can decide 2D position, it is "latitude & longitude. So the device calculates the latitude & longitude, and transfer the data to server by GPRS service.
