GPS is a Great, Practical System…here’s why:
The benefits of GPS continue to grow as people create new ways to use the technology. GPS units are being used in phones, computers, cars and many other places to make our lives easier. And the best part of GPS technology is the ease of use for both dealers and consumers.
GPS signals come from a satellite so, unlike finding a radio frequency (as used in LoJack), tracking is possible anywhere in the world.
GPS tracking units use the Global Positioning System to determine the precise location of a vehicle, person, or other object it’s attached to. The position is recorded at regular intervals-Vehiclepath units can be tracked every one, two or five minutes. Vehiclepath GPS systems record not only position, but vehicle speed, direction, longitude/latitude, exact address, etc.
One of the most well-known and popular ways to use GPS tracking is to help people recover stolen cars. Vehiclepath customers can have a dealership monitor their car or personally view details about their vehicle online or via cell phone. We’ve heard countless testimonials from people raving about how they were able to locate their stolen car and recover it with police assistance by the end of the day.
There are many other uses for a GPS tracker, including:
- Fleet tracking
- Asset tracking
- Teen driver tracking
Vehiclepath GPS software is fully compatible with Google Earth Software and maps the GPS coordinates of the person or vehicle accurately. Fleet owners can see all of their vehicles on one map.
Vehicle monitoring systems like LoJack operate on a radio frequency signal. While radio waves can go some places GPS signals cannot (buildings, parking garages), GPS devices can track objects anywhere in the world and work where radio frequencies go awry.
Do you think a huge automotive company like GM would invest millions and choose GPS technology (OnStar) if it wasn’t the better option for them and their consumers?
