Real-time GPS tracking systems provide live tracking of people and objects for safety, personal interest and asset management. Real-time GPS tracking systems can be expensive to purchase and difficult to install. You can build your own real-time GPS tracking system by simply using a GPS-enabled cell phone and the InstaMapper free GPS-tracking software.
