For a while, it seemed like car theft was going the way of the horse and buggy and the payphone. In the late nineties and the early 2000s, car theft rates were plummeting. In many parts of the USA, car theft rates had plummeted by 60 percent. Chop shops and criminal car exporting operations were going out of business as more and more stolen cars were recovered by the police with information from GPS tracking systems. Then, in the first six months of 2020, the FBI reports, car theft rates bounced back by about 9 percent. Car theft rates in... View Article

Most modern vehicles already collect large amounts of operational data through onboard computers and sensors. However, that data is rarely accessible to fleet managers in a useful way. GPS fleet tracking with telematics bridges that gap by combining location tracking with vehicle diagnostics, driver behavior monitoring, and operational insights. While standard GPS tracking shows where vehicles are located, telematics-enabled fleet tracking systems provide deeper information about how vehicles are being driven, how they are performing mechanically, and how efficiently the fleet is operating. Key Takeaways GPS tracking shows the real-time location of vehicles or assets. Telematics combines GPS location with... View Article

How do GPS Systems Work? GPS is short for Global Positioning System. It is a system used to figure out the exact location of an object on the globe. In ancient times, people relied on constellations in the night sky for navigation purposes. Similarly, GPS relies on a network of satellites to pinpoint the coordinates of the location. GPS consists of satellites, ground stations, and receivers. The ground stations use radar technology to confirm the location provided by the satellites. This can be vital in the construction industry, when equipment needs to be quickly moved within a state, or even nationwide.... View Article

There are many reasons to want to track a vehicle, both for business and personal reasons. If you have a fleet of vehicles, you want to know where each one is at any given time to improve efficiency, reduce costs, protect your drivers and your assets, and gain peace of mind. We’re going to break down the technology of GPS tracking for both business and personal applications and go over some of the benefits of each. How Does GPS Tracking Work? The Global Positioning System (GPS) works off a series of satellites orbiting at approximately 12,550 miles above the earth,... View Article
