Abstract :
Tracking living beings and devices using the Global Positioning System (GPS) has become prevalent and indispensable over the last few years. Applications range from military and national security to personal safety and comfort. This paper reviews some of the recent application areas and discusses the benefits and issues of GPS tracking. It then presents a software architecture of a general tracking system to locate lost and misplaced devices (and those that carry such devices).
