Do you suspect your spouse is cheating, but don’t know for sure? Do you wonder who they might be talking to on the phone? Are they really going to the gym late at night? Fortunately, technology exists for tracking your cheating spouse with GPS technology. GPS tracking technology allows you to pinpoint where your spouse is going and lets you identify if they are where they say they are. In this article, we are going to cover how the GPS tracking works if you decide to use this method.
There are several types of GPS tracking devices depending on how technical you want to get. The easiest to use systems I have seen are small cards that you can put in the car, then download the data later and view on a map where your spouse has been. After downloading the data, you can overlay the data on the map and trace each movement of the vehicle. The best system I found was from SkyTRX GPS systems. It works very well with any PC and is easy to use.
The second type of tracking device is a more active GPS tracking system with real time monitoring. Most of these services require a monitoring device that costs around $400-$500 and requires a monthly subscription to the GPS service. These systems are useful for tracking fleets of cars, but not so viable in tracking your cheating spouse. I would advise going with a simpler tracking system.
The third type of tracking is a device that actually taps your spouses cell phone. These devices do way more than just location tracking. You can actually capture SMS, Text Messaging, Caller ID, and also listen in on their phone conversations. The device allows you to track the cell phone through the cell phone network and relays back the location. Another feature is that you can track incoming and outgoing calls and numbers.
These devices are very scary at what they can do. Another feature is they actually allow you to turn the cell phone into a microphone so you can listen to the surroundings. Several services offer this product. One of the better ones is product from FlexiSpy. These products support most models of phones. These include Blackberry, Windows Mobile, and Symbian devices.
If your intuition is telling you that your spouse is cheating but you just need the hard facts, GPS tracking might be the solution for you. Depending on how technical you are, the easiest to operate is the first option where you simply plug into the PC and look at the map.
If you really want to dig deep, the mobile phone device is going to be your best bet. It should only take you a few weeks with these more sophisticated devices to find out for sure if you have a cheating spouse. If you don’t want to do it alone, you can always hire a private investigator who can use these devices as well. Best of luck.

Tracking Your Cheating Spouse With GPS
February 20th, 2010The Truth About GPS Cell Phone Tracking
December 17th, 2009
GPS cell phone tracking technology is currently available on most cell phones manufactured after early 2005. FCC regulations require all new cell phones produced after that date to have the tracking device within the phone. This was spawned after 911 attacks and the beginning on the war on terror. It is also the result of the need to find lost individuals and people who have dialed 911 and are unable to provide location information.
Cell phone carriers generally do not monitor or track the phones of their subscribers. In addition implied FCC guidelines allow the tracking feature to be used in cases of emergencies. Despite these guidelines some carriers have contracted with so called location based service providers. For a fee these companies use data provided by cell phone carriers to provide GPS tracking information. The legality of these services many times depends on the local or state government regulations. Cell phone customers understandably are very wary of intrusions into their privacy and on occasion sought legal remedies to protect themselves. Some feel it is a violation of their 4th amendment rights under the constitution.
The GPS technology that is incorporated into cell phone handsets is not the same as the units used in your vehicle that you use to navigate the roads of this country. GPS auto tracker technology is just not the same as that used in cell phones. Depending on the carrier and the type of cell phone hardware used the location data may be continuous or only available when a location request is made. All these differences make tracking an individual cell phone that you do not own or have a legal interest in very troublesome at best.
Despite all the on line hype the bottom line is that accessing cell phone tracking information on your girl friend or business competitor is generally unavailable and most likely illegal.
