, the police can avail the co-ordinates or the location data of the vehicle from the tracking system software that gets the information on a regular basis. This data can then be coordinated on a map to find the exact area or location of the vehicle. Moreover, the GPS system works even when the engine of the vehicle has been turned off, so there is simply no way out. Authorities are urging more and more automobile owners to get vehicles pre-fitted with the GPS units and if these units are not pre-fitted, to get them installed, in a bid to check auto-thefts.
