GPS Tracking Key

LandAirSea invented passive gps tracking in 1994.  Since then, LandAirSea Systems have produced multiple GPS tracking systems over the years. Their GPS tracking systems has been in to the forefront of GPS surveillance technology that has gone through extensive research and testing. The GPS Tracking Key was developed by LandAirSea Systems Inc.  

Initial Setup

The system is ready to go right out of the box. Finding and purchasing the tracking Key was very convenient because we were able to buy it at a local Pep Boys Auto Center.  Just place 2 AAA batteries in the units and place it in the vehicle. Its that simple!  Better yet there is no on/off switch to worry about once the batteries are in the unit on and ready to track.

Software Installation

LandAirSea Systems has incorporated a verity of changes in their new software package for the Tracking Key. Better error checking and a more user friendly interface has greatly improved their software.  Installation is simple.  Just plug the Tracking Key in your computer’s USB port, install the driver, and you can download the information that the unit has gathered.

Cover and Concealment 

This unit is extremely small and very easy to conceal. Add to that its high sensitivity GPS and you have a unit that will work almost any where and with almost any orientation that you put it in. Where as other systems you have to orient the antenna to face upward. This unit, you can confidently place upside down under the car and you will get excellent tracking results.

Mapping

LandAirSea Systems has done a wonderful job incorporating a powerful tracking system with some of the best mapping on the market today. The Tracking Key uses Google Earth© as its primary mapping source. What this means is you will have your tracking data not only displayed on a street map, but it will be displayed on beautiful high resolution satellite photography as well.  Now in case that you are in an area where Google© hasn’t incorporated the satellite photography yet, LandAirSea Systems has standard maps available in their software suite that will display your information on a normal street map. This is defiantly a perfect example of form meeting function.  

Tracking (Ability and Accuracy)

As stated earlier this is a highly sensitive tracking system. The unit will work in almost any orientation and even upside down under the car and it will accurately and consistently gather data. The unit was engineered with this in mind, to make a device that was so simple and easy to use that even people with no experience in using GPS tracking devices will has no problems effectively using this product the first time.

As always LandAirSea Systems has fast and reliable technical support that is available Monday thru Friday from 8:30am-5pm Central Standard Time.
