This question has two different meanings if I am getting it right. A tracking system is much of a commercial, operational system used into Transportation and Fleet Management wherein control handles are necessary to monitor vehicle and driver performance, speed and traffic violations, productivity which all feed into Transport management metrics and KPI's. Geofencing and Idling controls are some salient features alongwith vehicle service history also alongwith driver history.

Again if I am right a GPS enabled cell phone finds and directs you to your selected destination giving you fastest route, kilometers to destination and time required to reach your desired location.
