GPS (Global Positioning System) is an amazing thing these days and it gets used more and more in almost any kind of equipment. Most of us know that GPS can help us drive our car from one place to another, but did you know that you can solve murders with the help of GPS due to its accuracy?
There’s a video on Youtube where it’s explained how GPS helped solving a murder case of a 12 year old girl. The short story about the video is that the authorities discovered that the suspect had a GPS device in his car and the GPS devise saved a log file with information on both the time and location of the suspects car. Thanks to this log file the authorities could see with such accuracy when and where the suspects car had been that he could be charged with murder 🙂 .
The suspect himself must have been really surprised when he found out that he had the GPS device in his car, because it was placed there by his wife who suspected that he had an affair with another woman.
Some manufacturers of GPS devices like LandAirSea Systems take the GPS technology to a new level since they’ve integrated their GPS Tracking Key with Google Earth. This way you can see exactly where the GPS device have been on a Google Earth satellite map. The data can then be downloaded and viewed in Google Earth simply by plugging the Tracking Key into the USB port of a computer.
Thanks to the data from the GPS Tracking Key you can also see the speed the veicel had while moving and the acuracy is so exact that you know the exact location within 2.5 meters!
