How can i track a ship in ocean with gps when i am in my office? am i have to instal new gps on ship?

Answer 1

You didn't say whether you own the ship you're tracking, or if you're trying to track ships in general. Regardless, you will have to install at least some equipment on the ship. On land, there are a variety of cellphone-based tracking systems. However, for ocean-going vessels, you need to communicate position data with satellites with global coverage, and the satellites have to relay that information back to a centralized distribution center.

One possible solution is something like this: http://www.globalmarinenet.net/vessel_tr...

This would essentially use whatever gps you already have, but you would still have to have some form of longrange comms and at the very least email.

Answer 2

Go to sailwx.info      click on ship tracker and you can search by vessel name or call sign.  Good Luck
