This paper looks at the use of Global Positioning System (GPS) data for evidence collection and investigation purposes. The number of devices carrying GPS capabilities has increased over the years, investigators can find these to be helpful in deducing the elements of a crime, and criminals may attempt to thwart investigators by manipulating the data found on a GPS device in an effort to gain an advantage to support their activities. This paper discusses the Global Positioning System network, what type of devices and software is related to GPS, and the information that may be collected during an investigation involving GPS receivers.
