1 sept. 1978 - The first GPS tracking devices

Description:

The first GPS tracking devices were launched in 1978, when an experimental satellite was put into space. This was more of a trial than a possibility at this stage, but the theory was. Rockwell International were the first firm to launch these satellites. Their hope was that eventually, there would be enough satellites to validate the use of vehicle tracking. Years went by until 1994, when the final satellite began it’s orbit. This was the real beginnings of GPS technology. Interestingly, GPS tracking devices today still bear witness to this original technology.
