There is nothing extraordinary to GPS technology, 24 satellites orbiting at 55 degrees to the equatorial plane hammer the earth with precise radio pulses all day and night. These pulses are received by GPS receivers, and the location is derived based on the distance from the satellites. On the other hand, not every location devices calling themselves GPS are actually GPS. There is a technology called Assisted GPS (or sometimes AGPS) which is centered on cell tower triangulation, having little if anything to do with GPS. Sometime also labeled as "Location Based Servicing" (LBS) this makes use of proximity to cell towers in order to derive location. While a minimum of 3 cell towers is mandatory, it is not as exact as true GPS. Some GPS motorcycle tracking devices being used now use the AGPS, given that its cheaper for them and not necessarily going to provide motorcycle owners unfailing help. There are two advantages to LBS or AGPS, one is that its less costly for the service supplied and the two the strength of the cell signal is more powerful. However, if the device cannot pick up at least three cell towers, no location will be obtained. Consequently, this technology works in more urban locations than in rural sites. Once you have determined that you're dealing with a genuine GPS device, one has to determine which GPS Motorcycle Tracking is being used. Older GPS technologies need complete exposure to the horizon by either the device or an external antenna, which can make concealment a problem. third Generation GPS technology (SiRFStar III) works off a reflective GPS signal. This means that the GPS equipment can be effortlessly hidden without the need for outer antennas. This GPS Motorcycle Tracking technology can track inside garages and warehouses, where earlier generation GPS technologies could not.

Phantom Tracking is the original actual GPS Motorcycle Tracking system on the marketplace at present and has a patented motorcycle crash detection that protects riders. This Motorcycle Alarm System also uses SirfStarIII Technology that no other system uses.
