Tracking System Direct Answers Question:

Can A Person Implant A GPS Tracking System Under Your Skin?

Many times inquisitive GPS tracking costumers call into Tracking System Direct facilities and ask some unique questions. Most questions are fairly standard such as:

1. How long will the battery-life last on a GPS tracking unit?

2. Will the tracking system work under a vehicle?

3. Will the tracking system record the speed my teen is driving?

However, occasionally some GPS tracking costumers will ask some fairly random and strange questions. Tracking System Direct will always do its very best to answer any vehicle tracking or personal tracking related questions to the best of our ability. If we do not have the answer on hand we have multiple portals and avenues where to access the most current and factual GPS tracking information. No question will ever go left unanswered by any Tracking System Direct staff member.

One question that Tracking System Direct has received a few times over the past 6 months is whether or not a GPS tracking microchip could be implanted under someone's skin, allowing the government, employer or someone else the ability to monitor movements 24/7. Tracking System Direct has done extensive research on the topic of GPS monitoring chip implantation, and although the concept and application could plausible in the future (10-15 years?) if GPS monitoring technology continues to improve and advance, at this point in time it is science fiction.

Their are many hurdles present with the application of implanting a GPS tracking microchip under a person's skin, but the most important one is battery life. If a GPS tracking microchip was implanted under the skin it would need to record all applicable GPS tracking information such as speed, time, direction, orientation and more, and then need to transmit that tracking system data. A battery on a micro GPS chip would be so small that it would probably only be functional for 15 minutes or not at all, rendering it essentially useless. Currently, most vehicle tracking GPS systems are hardwired to the 12 volt system of a motor vehicle or are accompanied with motion sensors to self-activate when movement is sensed. Since humans are extremely mobile creatures, excluding those who sit on the couch for endless hours watching reruns of MTV's The Real World, a motion sensor would never provide a viable solution. The only real solution would be the creation of a super small and super powerful battery, but the creation of such a battery would probably assist a variety of the world's needs...not just GPS tracking microchips.
