GPS tracking
Digital location monitoring
GPS tracking is the use of satellite-based Global Positioning System technology to monitor the location of a person, vehicle, or object.
Fleet managers use it to follow delivery trucks; parents use it to keep tabs on teenagers; courts sometimes mandate it for offenders on parole.
The company installed GPS tracking on all its vehicles.
