It seems as though the only thing limiting our usage of GPS Trackers, is our own creativity. It seems as though the only thing limiting our usage of GPS Trackers, is our own imagination. A popular university in the south has begun using these GPS trackers to reduce bicycle thefts on their campus. Trackers have been developed for that are about the size of a hide-a-key box and can fit on a bicycle with ease. The GPS systems are designed to work within designated safe zones. If a bike gets moved anywhere outside of these specific zones, a text message or email is immediately sent to the bike's owner and within thirty seconds the thief's actions can be monitored online. Another exciting GPS application for these trackers has to do with home construction and remodeling. Typically, during a home construction, appliances, fixtures and items such as water heaters are delivered to the site in preparation of the final install. Sadly, criminals pray on such sites to steal and resell these brand new appliances and fixtures for quick cash. Refrigerators, stoves, microwave ovens, dishwashers, hot water heaters, air conditioning units, trash compactors, wine refrigerators, sinks and even toilets are among the items most popular with these criminals. We have routinely relied on GPS trackers to protect us and the ones we love. Now, we can also count on them to safeguard our possessions as well. This has in turn bought about a whole new use to the technology.
