Notes:

4.33 - GPS & RFID Tag Tracking

-GPS stands for global positioning system and RFID tag stands for radio-frequency identification

-One of the differences between GPS (global positioning system - usually satellite based) and RFID Tracking (radio-frequency identification - usually small tags or chips) is dealing with the distance from a hub or known area. Both technologies deal with tracking items or things according to a specific location or coordinates. GPS usually covers more distance and is mobile and RFID is more local, fixed, or within a controlled environment.

-These technologies are capable of tracking an "x" coordinate (longitude or width), a "y" coordinate (latitude or height), a "z" coordinate (depth, height, altitude, or elevation).

-Currently we have all of these as a possible sub of time so they can be turned on and off.  The fields exist so that we can capture real data or we could have other third parties that could feed us data and we could capture that.

-Basically the field is set to play but it is not fully automated yet. There are tons of places that it could go but currently it still needs some further development for it to be fully automated.
