1. A real-time location system comprises:
- a plurality of positioning transceiver systems configured to determine geo-positions of the positioning transceiver systems relative to a global coordinate system, during set up of the real-time location system;
a tag transceiver with location marker programmer that determines locations of the tag transceiver relative to the global positioning coordinate system, with the tag transceiver configured to program location markers with location information based on the determined locations; and
a plurality of location markers programmed by the tag transceiver with location marker programmer, with the plurality of location markers programmed with location information of the locations that the location markers are affixed to around a site.

Abstract
A real-time location and tracking system includes location markers programmed with location information of the locations that the location markers are affixed to and a mobile RTLS tracking system to read location information from nearby location markers and a mobile RTLS monitoring and display system. The system is configured to receive signals from the mobile RTLS tracking system that includes a microprocessor and memory that control the functionality of the mobile RTLS monitoring and display system to display status and geo coordinates of the mobile RTLS tracking system.
