Perhaps you've heard about GPS or Global Positioning Systems. They have been in the news a lot lately and you can purchase everything from GPS Navigation systems in cars to hand held GPS devices. One item you may not have heard of is a Real Time GPS Vehicle Tracking Device which have a variety of uses. The main use being to track and locate a vehicle in real time if it is ever stolen.
What Exactly is GPS or Global Positioning System
A GPS locating device is a compact unit that fits onto the bottom of an automobile or any mobile unit, such as a car, boat, bicycle, or even a person. From a third location, the satellite technology of the GPS can send signals to a GPS receiver, so that the location-position of the unit can be relayed. Three areas are involved, altitude, latitude, and longitude. The satellite technology is a constellation of 24 satellites that send information to the GPS receiver.
Originally developed by the U.S. Department of Defense for use in precision weapon delivery, the initial satellites were launched between 1974 and 1977. During the Clinton administration, use of the system's additional bandwidth was opened for civilian use. This move, combined with recent advances in personal technologies were the catalyst for an explosive surge in GPS market opportunities and intelligent applications.
Millennium Plus GPS Vehicle Tracking is a mobile tracking device, stealthily secured inside a vehicle, that enables you to monitor and control many vehicle features. Employing a constellation of satellites, and patented microburst technology - you interface with your vehicle anytime via the Internet, or access reporting and alert functions by email, cell phone, or pager!
Millennium Plus uses an incredibly new technology, which includes GPS satellites and GSM cell technology. You have hands-on communication with the vehicle through use of the transceiver. There is a two-way flow of information and communication.
*When Millennium Plus is engaged, on any standard internet browser, the signal travels to the nearest cell phone tower, from your location.
*Using standard cell frequencies, Microburst technology operates on cellular networks, in existence already, to transmit data packets.
*GPS satellites will locate and communicate and exchange information with the Millennium Plus transceiver which is on a placed position on your vehicle. Information could be about location, speed, plus commands and executions you have selected.
*Using cellular towers as a third party relay, signals will be sent back to you.

Individual uses for GPS auto monitoring alarm device...all people with a safety conscious mind who want to insure the welfare of others and other vehicles and their loads.
The nation's number one property crime is "stealing automobiles", according to the most recent FBI Uniform Crime Reports (ca 2001) which states that 1.2 million vehicles have been stolen, at a cost of 8l2 billion dollars. More disturbing news than this even is the fact that vehicle recovery rate is way down also. From 84% recovered auto rate in 1990, to 62% were recovered in 2001. If a stolen auto cannot be tracked by the police force; how can it be expected to be recovered?
In Phoenix/Mesa, Arizona, for two years in a row, the rate of stolen vehicles reached the highest in the country. A police spokesperson there suggested this; "installing a tracking device in your vehicle to help recover it if it is stolen" is the best way to deter criminal behavior.
Insurance Discounts
Even though it provides much broader functionality, Millennium Plus is an Anti-Theft Device. Please contact your insurance agent or insurance carriers to determine if an anti-theft device discount is available in your area. Additionally, several states have laws that mandate that insurance carriers offer anti-theft discounts.
