As long as they are on and functioning, cell phones can be traced because they emit signals to the closest antenna tower. Sometimes cell phone calls are traced, but cell phone tracking works even when there is no call being made on a cell phone.

Last month, police in California suspected that a man in his 20s had kidnapped his underage girlfriend and they used cell phone tracking technology to find the man in question.

Apparently, the underage girl, two of her friends and her boyfriend were all in a car when  the boyfriend made them go off the road. He later forced the underage girl to leave the car and to get into his car, which was apparently nearby.

Emergency cell phone tracking technology was used in the efforts to track the man and his underage girlfriend. The police did this by tracking the cell phones of both the man under suspicion and the underage girl he allegedly kidnapped.

And earlier this month, police in Tennessee used cell phone tracking to catch up with an eighteen year old woman who was running away with a minor. The two were found because their cell phone calls were traced.

In the cases mentioned above, the police were looking for people. And these people carried cell phones and made calls on these cell phones that gave clues that pointed to their whereabouts. But what happens when what you are looking for is not someone but something?

You may not be a member of the police force, but you can still use GPS tracking technology to find things that have gotten away from you. People carry cell phones that can be traced, but your property and equipment are not able to carry on conversations. Still, you can use a GPS tracking device to keep up with your property and to be informed of where it is at all times.

A GPS vehicle tracking device will do the necessary communicating if your vehicle is taken or someone is trying to make off with your construction equipment. When you are tracking your property using a GPS device, you are able to obtain raw data from a number of satellites.
