GPS vehicle tracking is about more than just location. In many cases, time is more important than location when tracking vehicles or assets. Take idling for instance. It is more critical to know how long a vehicle is idling rather than where it is doing the idling. But, whether time or location is important, the data that the two provide in a combined manner is invaluable.

GAP Insurance and GPS Tracking

Print

You've probably heard the phrase "GAP Insurance" the last time you bought a vehicle. It refers to an optional coverage that makes you whole in the event of a vehicle theft or loss by paying the difference between what it costs to buy a comperable vehicle and what the insurance policy routinely pays for your loss. When a vehicle is new or in especially good shape, the standard pay-out in the event of a total loss of a vehicle can be many thousands of dollars.   Without getting intoa cost/benefit analysis of whether GAP Insurance is a good deal (we all gamble a little when we decide what policies to carry based upon what we guess is out likelyhood of a loss vs. the cost of the insurance), it might be a good idea to consider a vehicle tracking system as an inexpensive part of the equation.

Successful businesses pull ahead in recovery...

A recent article in the June issue of Forbes Magazine entitled "Recovery's Seven Secrets" written by publisher Rich Karlgaard raises some interesting questions about businesses that rise above the pack during an economic recovery.  We thought it might be useful to examine each of the seven skill sets and how GPS vehicle tracking can help businesses and municipalities succeed.  

 Design.   GPS real-time tracking data can become a deluge if it is presented without a clear, intuitive user interface.  TrackerSystems.net has designed a web-based user portal that customers love for its simplicity and ease-of-use.  We owe the great design to our customers who have suggested dozzens of enhancements and improvements and to our software engineers who think as customers first.  Our goal is to provide a user interface that needs minimal instructions and help.  Most users just dive in and learn by clicking - intuitive instruction is the best design.

Speed.  Everything today depends on getting to your customers first.  Knowledge about where your assets are and when they can arrive at the next customer is crucial.  Changing assignments and adding jobs during the day makes the most efficient use of your fleet and allows you to exceed the expectations of new and repeat customers.  Differentiating yourself from the rest of your industry by providing faster service without adding assets is made possible with GPS tracking service like Tracker Systems.

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

You know the old adage that a still image of something can, with its great detail, tell a story that would otherwise take a thousand words to explain. That holds true with some of the powerful features of the mapping engine of our real-time GPS vehicle location system.

The standard mapping engine we use has three modes – road, aerial, and bird’s eye. The road and aerial views can be zoomed in and out multiple levels. The bird’s eye zooms in one order of magnification. This map engine is continuously upgraded to provide the latest map data available. There are multiple ways to zoom in and out as well as pan the map image. A simple double click on the map centers that point on the screen and zooms in one level.
