Mobile GPS Chip Technology – A Commercial Promo

admin — Wed, 16 May 2012 10:49:51 +0000

A few Summers ago, just over 100 Coke cans were embedded with a global positioning satellite receiver. If you found you had one of the GPS cans, you could claim the grand prizes. The cans looked exactly like a regular Coke can, and was approximately the same weight. You would basically activate the chip be calling a specified phone number and then the “rescue teams”, using the GPS tracker, would come deliver their prize.

Of course, the fact that they would have to carry their cans with them everywhere they went for up to three weeks wasn’t lost on the marketing and promotional people at Coke. They were being tracked by the gps chip inside. As a fun added aspect, anyone could watch the cans with embedded gps chips being tracked at a web site.

This promo shows that GPS chip technology can be a fun, useful, and effective way to market a product. The fact that GPS chips are so small, inexpensive, and lightweight allows them to be used in this way. Of course, GPS Chips will be used in even more widespread and “serious” ways than this marketing campaign. However, as Coke proved, the technology has matured to an amazing degree.

Look into GPS chip technology for your fun, practical, or serious use today. There are many ways it can be used, and with chips being so small and inexpensive, you can be as creative as you want.

New Page: GPS Dog and Cat Collars

We have added a new page to our site which covers GPS dog and cat collars. In brief, GPS dog collars for mapping and tracking rely on a new and effective technology for finding your dog: A very small portable GPS receiver and what’s called a “GSM modem” is embedded into the dog collar. All you need is a cell phone to easily and remotely monitor and map your dog’s location anywhere in the world.

Most gps collars work by having you call the telephone number of the GPS Dog collar on your mobile / cell phone. The portable GPS receiver of the collar sends an estimate of your dog’s position to your mobile phone display. This information will be accurate to less than 20 feet.

The weight of the GPS collar is about 250 – 300 grams, not much more than a conventional collar. Then there is a mobile tracking system – which usually consists of software for your computer or an app for your smartphone. Here are some of the features of quality gps dog collars:

- The GPS chip is embedded in a way that makes it waterproof

- There is no external antenna in this portable GPS system.

- This mobile GPS system is delivered ready to go, no programming or technical experience required

- The GPS estimated coordinates (GPS mapping) sent directly to your cell phone / mobile phone display.

- An activity sensor in the GPS system can tell you if your dog is in motion.

- Rechargeable batteries are usually included with at least 2-5 days battery life so your GPS system.

GPS tracking systems ensure your beloved pet’s safety at home and on trips or just walks in the woods – see our new page for evenmore information.

Built in GPS in jewelry for personal security

admin — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 12:23:47 +0000

There is a new product that is a perfect example of the use of built in GPS for personal security. A company called Elcoteq makes a bracelet that comes in several colors and looks like a series of blocks that goes around the wrist. The bracelet can be worn with almost anything, and would not in itself arouse any suspicion. However, it actually is outfitted with a small GPS chip device. When the wearer pulls on the bracelet a GPS tracking signal is activated which automatically alerts pre-chosen friends of the wearer to check on the wearer’s safety while of course telling them where she is. There is even an option to have a security company be the ones monitoring the wearer of this GPS security bracelet. They will first try to contact the wearer (in case the bracelet was pulled accidentally), but if the wearer supplies a certain key word, does not give a correct password, or does not pick up at all, they will respond to the wearer’s location.

This new technology that provides both security and location monitoring in one may become more popular as time goes by and people realize the power of built in GPS chips.

Built-in GPS in 2012: Biggest Advances will be related to size

admin — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 19:59:00 +0000

Often the question comes up: What will the next likely advance be in GPS chip technology? Often the answers stoke the imagination - what could new uses for these small and portable chips possible be? What is the next thing that people will want to either track or map the movements of? Sometimes, however, the answer to the first question is a little less exciting than usual but still important. For 2012 we predict that the advances in GPS chip technology will not revolve around the methods of using these GPS chips for tracking and mapping, but rather the ways the chips themselves are shrinking.

GPS chips are already getting incredibly small. We’ve seen chips measuring as little as 2.9 x 2.9mm. Take out a ruler and you’ll see just how small and amazing that is. The smaller these chips get without losing their effectiveness, the more uses we will be able to find. Thus while news about advances in GPS technology that centers around the size of GPS chips may not be the most interesting or exciting news there is, it could be the first step toward incredible advancements in how this technology is used.

One caveat as you follow this technology – unless these new shrunken chips have power supplies and antennas that are as powerful as their older cousins, there may be problems with how functional they are at transmitting signals under less than ideal conditions (e.g. when implanted in a pet). So while the size of the gps chips that we see in 2012 may be impressive, we will also follow the related issues of whether these new chips also have adequate power and antenna capabilities.

One thing is for certain – GPS Chip Technology remains interesting to follow and consider!

About Portable GPS Tracking Systems

Portable and mobile GPS Systems have become so small, portable, and lightweight that they can be built into many commercial products. For example, GPS systems and GPS software can help safely and easily track your child’s location by being embedded into his shoes. If he runs off, whether he was distracted by something, merely forgot to tell you they are going to a friend’s house, or just got lost in a crowd, you’ll be able to track him and map his location. With built-in mobile GPS online tracking and mapping chips you will know where your child is at all times, and all it takes is a cell phone, laptop, or other portable device to track him.

Built-in mobile GPS chips are linked to a system of satellites which are accurate to the meter in determining the position of whatever has a mobile GPS system embedded. They can be used to track kids, pets, cattle, property, and even yourself. And best of all, they are so lightweight you’ll forget its even there!

If you enjoy hiking or long-distance running, the built-ins can track how far you went, exactly what you route was, and, most importantly, where you are if you happen to get lost through the use of GPS tracking and mapping. The GPS software is easy to install yet incredibly powerful and accurate, so your PDA, laptop, smartphone, etc. can be the perfect device to receive the information you need to track and map your route and location using GPS technology.

Other uses for built-in mobile GPS chips and GPS software are tracking your teen to make sure she is safe and secure, and doing what she told you she was going to do. GPS chip technology can truly give you peace of mind!

Portable GPS chips can be safely and easily built in to a variety of popular personal items, including necklaces, anklets, watches, shoes, mobile phones, belts, hats, and many pieces of clothing. Then these items can be tracked using GPS online software.

GPS software and chip technology is taking off and becoming more popular, and is clearly not just for the car or PDA anymore. It is possible that in the future mobile GPS chips could be embedded into clothing, built in to shoes, or a regular part of the manufacture of sports equipment like skis. For now you can stitch or fasten the small portable GPS chip onto whatever you desire, and easily install the software as an app into your PDA.
