What is API in GPS?

A GPS tracking system uses the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) network . This network incorporates a range of satellites that use microwave signals that are transmitted to GPS devices to give information on location, vehicle speed, time and direction.

Typical GPS tracking systems used in commercial fleet management have two core parts: location hardware (or tracking device) and tracking software . This combination is often referred to as an Automatic Vehicle Location system.

A Geolocation API is a communication interface between a client device or application (client-side), and an application or service (server-side) that identifies and returns information about the client’s geographical location .
