How do I activate the tracker on my Mercedes?
Simply scan the QR code in the vehicle’s multimedia system, or enter your Vehicle Identification Number in the app to pair your vehicle. Then, touch one button to activate all of your services. If you need assistance, call (800) 367-6372 or visit your Mercedes-Benz dealer.
Where are car tracking devices?
You can install a GPS tracking device nearly anywhere on a car or fleet vehicle- in the front or rear bumper, wheel wells, under floor mats or seats, or in the glove compartment. However, for fleet tracking purposes, GPS trackers are almost always installed on the dashboard through an on board diagnostics (OBD) port.
Are there any problems with using satellite tracking?
Positional data obtained through satellite tracking need to be carefully examined for erroneous locations and the time of loss of drogue. In fact, one of the main problems with surface drifters, aside from the need for accurate positioning, is knowing if and when the drogue has fallen off.
How does satellite tracking work for fishing vessels?
Most fishing vessels (all vessels over 15 m since 2014) now routinely transmit position data via AIS (Automatic Identification System). This provides an effective satellite tracking dataset of fishing vessels as foraging predators.
How is satellite tracking used to track predators?
Satellite tracking of predators is increasingly being used to better understand foraging behaviour and to infer the relative importance of different areas to the species in question.
Why was satellite tracking so important in the 1970s?
The development of satellite tracking in the 1970s quickly revealed the weakness of available drifters – most performed poorly and most did not survive long at sea. Many problems needed to be overcome: fishbite, chafe, shockloading, biofouling, corrosion, etc.
What was the purpose of the CLS satellite?
CLS proposes a regional solution to the sargassum crisis using space-based technology. CLS was founded in 1986 and its mission ever since has been to protect people and the planet.Our commitments! Read more.

What kind of tracking system does Argos use?
Argos is a worldwide tracking and environmental monitoring system by satellite data collection and location system. CLS is the exclusive data provider.
