Difference Between a GPS tracking & a GPS Navigation System
A global positioning system (GPS) provides geo-location information to users anywhere in the world. GPS devices that provide basic map position details are known as GPS tracking devices, whereas devices that allow you to map out routes are called GPS navigation devices. Main differences between GPS tracking and GPS navigation systems relate to their main functions, how they are used by different types of users, the technology incorporated and the limitations of each system.
Functions
GPS navigation systems provide full navigational and map support. They are able to plan journeys when you enter a set of coordinates. Journeys by car, plane or foot can be scheduled, and navigation devices normally show you the exact length of your journey and your estimated time of arrival according to your method of transport. GPS tracking devices, on the other hand, track the exact location of your device at any one time. They can be programmed to track your location at different intervals to measure speed if required.
Practical Uses
GPS navigation systems are used by people wishing to plan a journey's route, distance or time. They are commonly used by drivers, cyclists or joggers to schedule a journey and give exact details of the journey along the way. GPS tracking systems have a more commercial use and are commonly used by companies to track the location of a fleet of vehicles.
Technology
A GPS tracking device receives satellite signals to get its precise location. These signals are relayed to the user as a set of coordinates on the device's screen. GPS navigation devices use this satellite tracking technology as well, but also utilize global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) to obtain map information and help plan an interstate or international journey on land, sea or air.
