What is GPS ?
GPS is a kind of wireless service. Earlier it used to be available in 2G mobiles, now it is available in 3G and 4G also. It boosts Bluetooth, which supports the internet. As soon as it comes near to the mobile tower, it starts showing its location on the mobile or other device connected to it. With the view for the safety it can be installed in vehicle and by that the current location of the vehicle can be tracked.
