AbstractAbstract

We have proposed a model for location tracking We have proposed a model for location tracking using Geographical Positioning System (GPS) using Geographical Positioning System (GPS) and Global System for Mobile Communication and Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) technology with Cellular Phone for (GSM) technology with Cellular Phone for message communication. The implemented message communication. The implemented system displays the object moving path on the system displays the object moving path on the monitor and the same information can also be monitor and the same information can also be communicated to cell phone, on demand of the communicated to cell phone, on demand of the user by asking the specific information via user by asking the specific information via SMS.SMS.
