It’s a sad fact of life that theft is on the rise in rural Australia, with farm machinery and equipment a tempting target for thieves, while Australia’s mine sites have always had a problem with expensive equipment going missing when no one’s watching.

How GPS works
GPS uses the mathematical principal of trilateration to determine where a tracked object is and how fast it’s moving. When GPS receivers know the precise distance from at least three satellites (in practice more are always involved) then its precise location can be established.
