5. GPS Tracking Services
If you are a business owner considering the use of GPS tracking devices to help you manage remote employees, it’s important that you understand your rights and the rights of your workers before you get started. Laws regarding an employer’s rights to monitor his or her employees vary from state to state and country to country, so you’ll want to know exactly what the laws say in the state where your business operates. Consulting with a local lawyer is often helpful as they can provide more information about laws in your area and insight into the kinds of actions that may lead to lawsuits from employees.
152HQ does not condone illicit tracking.

5.1 GPS Use Disclaimer
The use of GPS devices, tablets and smartphones tracking.
Smartphones in fact use more than GPS to locate you. They employ a hybrid locational system combining three separate technologies:
- Assisted GPS (A-GPS)
- WiFi positioning
- Cellular network positioning.
These three technologies are used in combination as/when they are available. A-GPS is the most accurate of the three, and cellular positioning the least accurate.
Many things can degrade GPS positioning accuracy. Common causes include:
- GPS or background services turned off.
- GPS permission not accepted when loading the application.
- Mobile data turned off.
- Phone in Flight Mode.
- Device has been left still for more than 5 minutes.
- The location of your device. Your device should be out in the open rather than in a briefcase, under the seat or contained within compartments within your vehicle.
- Satellite signal blockage due to buildings, bridges, trees, etc.
- Indoor or underground use
- Signals reflected off buildings or walls (“multipath”)
Far less common causes may include:
- Radio interference or jamming
- Major solar storms
- Satellite maintenance/maneuvers creating temporary gaps in coverage
- Improperly designed or low quality mobile devices
Furthermore, the accuracy of the maps used in our websites are not guaranteed 100% of the time as they are maintained by a third party.
GPS tracking requires online data transfers for some features, such as sending location data. Accessing these features over data network services may incur costs from your provider. If you use the app and data services on your tablet, you are responsible for any fees that your service provider charges. Your service provider is not a provider of 152HQ Pty Ltd.
