The present invention is directed to a method of asset location. Location
data is received from a cellular transmitter associated with a selected
asset, which location data includes data representative of a cellular
receiver with which direct communication with the cellular transmitter is
made. The location data is then communicated to a tracking service
system, which tracking service system includes a database representative
of geographic locations associated with a plurality of cellular
receivers. The database is then queried with received location data so as
to generate geographic tracking data associated with a location of the
cellular receiver, the geographic tracking data including display data
adapted to generate a map image including a representative of a location
of the selected asset. The geographic tracking data is then communicated
to an associated security agency so as to allow for viewing of an image
generated in accordance with the display data and at least one of
tracking and interception of the selected asset.
