This paper presents a vernacular approach towards geo-tracking through the amalgamated usage of the hardware and a Smartphone Application (software). The rudimentary usage of Global System for Mobile Communication(GSM), Global Positioning System (GPS) and a Micro-controller incorporated with a Smartphone App, provides a lucid solutions to diverse and convoluted issues. The system integrates multiple technologies forming a miniature and portable system for personalized tracking of a vehicular entity. The device can be embedded into any mobile entity for the real time tracking. The GPS and GSM module are managed by a micro-controller which keeps track of the data sent and received. The GPS obtains the geographic coordinates at periodic intervals via range of satellites and the GSM module transmits the received data to the server which in-turn transmits it to the Smartphone App that had initially generated a request for tracking. The Smartphone App monitors the location of the entity, projecting the traversed path on Google Maps API, making it easier for the end user to trace. Thus the user can consistently monitor the movement, analyze distance travelled and time taken in the rove. To bolster the viability and efficacy of this project, the paper includes experimental data and practical implications.
