GPS Tracking in realtime?

From what I’ve seen so far, typical gps devices don’t have any hardware that could communicate their location to your computer.

All it has is a gps receiver, which means that by receiving signals from gps satellites, it can figure out where in the world it is very precisely. It then uses built-in map software and maps loaded onto it to display the surrounding area.

The only way for that information to get to your computer is to connect them with a cable. Or to get a device that does have ways of communicating its location to the outside world.

Here’s an example of a device that has cellular hardware built in, so you can track its location from anywhere. In this case, to keep an eye on your pet. http://www.zoombak.com/products/pet/
