GPS or Global Positioning Systems have been in the news a lot lately, as you probably have read something about them by now. GPS Navigation systems can be purchased to go on cars or refined to palm-sized devices you can hold in your hand. The latest item is a GPS Vehicle Tracking auto alarm devices which can be used for multiple purposes. The best, and main purpose has been to track and locate stolen automobiles.

What is Global Positioning System or GPS -
The Global Positioning System (what is GPS) is a constellation of 24 satellites, that provide information to a GPS receiver, so that software in the receiver can determine a position in three dimensions (altitude, latitude, and longitude).

The GPS system originally was used as a military device by the U.S. Department of Defense, between 1974 and 1977, to track missiles and bombs that were delivered by our armed services forces. It wasn't until President Clinton was in office that use of the GPS was opened to civilians. Additional bandwidth and advances in technologies caused a surge in GPS applications and marketing.

GPS Millennium Plus Tracking system works on signals from satellites. It is attached to the underside of the mobile unit. With the advances in technology on the tracking system you can now control and monitor most functions on your vehicle. After engaging the system into the incredible constellation satellites, with the patented microburst technology, you can maintain contact with your vehicle anytime, simply by using the internet, or engage reporting and alert functions by email, or cell phone, or pager.

Using engineering genius, the Millennium Plus functions using the satellites and patented GSM cell technology. There is communication at all times, with the transceiver in the auto.

*Using any standard internet browser, after accessing Millennium Plus, signals are sent out and picked up by the nearest cell phone tower.

*Operation of Microburst technology uses existing cellular networks using channels on the back of standard cell frequencies to transmit data.

*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.

*Then the cellular technology will transmit data back to your location.

Millennium Plus GPS car tracking device can be put to broad-spectrum uses. Most of us can come up with multiple uses for Millennium Plus; at work, for leisure activity or for home.

Individual uses for GPS car recovery anti theft device...anyone who wishes to ensure the safety and well being of drivers, vehicles, and their cargoes.

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?

The highest rate of stolen vehicles in the country is in the conjoined municipalities of Phoenix/Mesa, Arizona; for two years in a row. Their police department in that city, suggests that the best way to deter criminals from stealing your automobile is "...installing a tracking device in your vehicle to help recover it if it is stolen".

Insurance Discounts

Millennium Plus has many uses, but is considered an anti-theft device. Insurance Discounts are an added value benefit of GPS anti-theft devices. Contact your insurance carrier and discuss if an anti-theft device discount is available in your area. Several states now mandate that discounts be given to anyone who has installed an anti-theft device.
