Abstract
A method, system and apparatus for locating and monitoring the movement of an object, including a transmitting component and a decoding component, where the decoding component is configured to communicate with the transmitting component through a voice channel of a wireless telephone network, the transmitting component including a global positioning system (GPS) chip, and where the GPS chip is linked with the transmitting component circuitry to transmit location information to said decoding component through a voice channel. Embodiments include a management engine for managing subscriptions to the location information, map software for displaying with the location information a location of the transmitting component and its movement, and a speech translation engine for providing audible voice speech identifying the location information corresponding to the transmitter location or path of travel.
