In my upcoming project, I need to track GPS device attached to vehicles. Is there any way this is possible through PHP or ASP.Net

+3  A: 

first this device have to send data somehow, then you need to capture it in some DB then present via PHP, ASP.Net or anything else. there is no such class GPSDevice with method GetPosition that will do all the magic.

How would Low Jack (mispelled) work then? There must be some way to send out a signal and have it then respond back with it's location. It would be a matter of having a receiver, perhaps like a cellphone receiver, paired with a gps chip, as it could then determine the location and send an SMS message back.

it sends data via radio. Remember, GPS device itself is only **receiver**, if you want to track it you need to integrate sender device.

A: 

Although there are "standard" protocols at the hardware level, adherence varies. And AFAIK, as yet there is no kernel support for GPS devices as standard in Linux (I'm not sure that there should be either). However you might find gpsd useful.
