I always though that a thief is just as good as they guys building car alarms, and that if he “really” wants it, you’d be pedaling on a bike next day at work, because he’d be able to steal your car. The only solutions I really trusted were those that used GPS tracking devices to alert the police or the owner where the vehicle is.

For almost 15 years, the guys at LandAirSea Systems (http://www.landairsea.com) has been developing some of the most innovative and powerful GPS tracking systems, that are able to track the location of your car with an accuracy ranging from 10 to 15 meters. That makes them one of the biggest providers in the surveillance technology industry.

How do they do that? Well there are 24 U.S. government owned satellites that manage to cover the earth two times each day (some 12,000 miles) which send signals to a GPS Tracking Key (which is a small, pocket sized device) which sends it to a computer that accurately determines the GPS location of the device and records the data. That happens every second.

There are other advantages to their system and that include the fact that all data can be downloaded and viewed in Google Earth just by plugging the Tracking Key into the USB port of a computer. Another great point is that their GPS Tracking device has an extremely powerful magnet that can be placed easily under your car, is waterproof and will not fall down unless manually take off.

LandAirSea Systems’ technology was also used to solve murder cases and has helped with convicting criminals. Check out the video below.

Today Motorola has unveiled its new handheld mobile computer called MC70. The device is more suitable for enterprise use rather than consumer use. Motorola MC70 features a GPS module, thus it can be used for shipping transports, tracking and guiding workers on the field and other navigation related activities.

Motorola MC70 uses the SiRFStar III GPS receiver. It features Bluetooth, barcode data and signature capture, and supports EDGE networks. ALK provides the software for the GPS module.

Its design was conceived to create a device resistant to water, dust, mechanic shocks or in hard work conditions like cold or hot weather. We didn’t find information about the pricing yet.
