A car GPS tracker is installed in the car's cabin and helps to accurately determine the coordinates of an object. The error of such devices rarely exceeds 2.5 meters. The entire system consists of a receiving and transmitting device. The beacon on the car for tracking movement transmits data to the computer, which is received by the GPS receiver.

The tracker can be connected through the dashboard or run independently on batteries. A GPS beacon for a car receives a signal from several satellites that are in orbit and, based on the delay in the response, the system determines the location of the car, then transmits the data to a computer or phone.
