GPS Track allows you to give OSS-ESPA access to your current location from your OTA vehicles and GPS trackers. This location data is then displayed as a breadcrumb trail on the Sentinel screen where your movements can be monitored. This allows monitors to determine your position relative to a point of interest, such as a location or a suspect. It also allows them to monitor areas you and other personnel are searching, which means they can direct people to useful search areas and avoid multiple people searching the same areas.
