SHADOW TRACKER PREMIER

The Shadow Tracker Premier Tracking Unit is designed to monitor and record the travel activities

of your vehicles by utilizing Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. GPS uses a stationary

system of satellites placed in orbit around the globe to calculate an objects position anywhere on

earth. This GPS system is maintained by the U.S. Department of Defense.

Each Tracking Unit is equipped with a radio antenna, GPS receiver and a memory module. By

utilizing the attached GPS antenna, the Unit’s GPS receiver is used to calculate the Tracking

Unit’s exact GPS coordinates at any given time. This GPS data is then stored in the Tracking

Unit’s memory. When the Tracking Unit comes within range of the Premier Base Radio and

communication is established, the GPS data is automatically downloaded and processed into the

Shadow Tracker Professional database.

OTE: The Shadow Tracker Premier Tracking Unit must be validated to the Shadow Tracker

Professional software, assigned to a Vehicle record and included in a Vehicle Issue record before

GPS data can be processed.
