Abstract: One embodiment may include a method of converting an electronic device into a tracking device that is part of a system of tracking devices distributed throughout a geographic area to track signal emitting devices travelling through the geographic area. The method may include providing an electronic device, the electronic device positioned in the geographic area; communicatively coupling a converter with the electronic device, wherein the converter has a memory device with location tracking software stored thereon; and uploading the tracking software from the converter to the electronic device so as to convert the electronic device into a converted tracking device having the tracking software, wherein the converted tracking device becomes part of the system of tracking devices distributed throughout the geographic area to track the signal emitting devices travelling through the geographic area.
