Global Positioning System imageI have always been so optimistic about GPS technology. GPS also known as the Global Positioning System is a constellation of 24 space satellites (21 GPS satellites and three spare satellites) that orbit the planet Earth. It enables people with ground receivers to locate their geographic location. The accuracy of location ranges from 100 to 10 meters for most equipment.

Before, GPS equipment is widely used in science and for military purposes. But nowadays, even an ordinary person can own a GPS receiver since it has now become sufficiently low-cost, handy and easy-to-use.

Today, like any other man-made technology, GPS receivers are becoming consumer products. It is widely used in outdoor activities like hiking, ballooning, flying, ship navigation and cross-country skiing. One of the most popular uses of receivers is its use on cars. GPS is used to relate the exact driver’s location with traffic and weather details.

One of the technical leaders in the tracking field I have known so far is the GPS insight. GPS Insight is a hardware and web software-based vehicle tracking system tool that tracks car activity detail, fuel consumption, speed violations, landmark activity, odd hours, vehicle performance and geofence violation. Unlike other GPS tracking products, GPS Insight uses the Google Maps Mobile application for mapping.
GPS Insight costs $1.50-2 per day per vehicle and utilizes satellites and AT&T/T-Mobile which provides customers with impressively accurate vehicle locations in every 2 minutes across the United States and Canada.

GPS Insight has one of the most powerful reports available to find out the overall driver efficiency. Notable feature includes the Detail Activity Report where you can get a daily snapshot of driving activities for any vehicle in your fleet. The report enables you to view specific location, stop and speed information for an individual vehicle for the whole day and compare actual activity of the driver with driver time cards to ensure accurate hours billed. You can also view the GPS Insight’s reports on your PDA style or any phone capable of Google Mobile Maps. That’s amazing!
With the use of GPS insight, there will be no more labor paid when people are not really working, saves on fuel consumption and improves routing efficiencies.

The official site of this GPS insight vehicle tracking system  has an excellent online demonstration of the GPS technology. GPS Insight has support wiki for customers who would like to know more about this amazing product. To know more about this innovation, you may visit their site or blog for GPS vehicle tracking.

Today, Global Positioning system devices like this GPS insight has absolutely necessary as it help decrease cost and improve efficiency. This is most especially true to companies involved in the business of service and trucking.
