GPS Tracking

About the GPS Tracking Key

The GPS Tracking Key is a small, pocket-sized and portable passive GPS data logger. The internal computer accurately determines the GPS location of the device within 2.5 meters and records detailed travel activities every second.

Data stored on the Tracking Key can be accessed by inserting the unit directly into your personal computer or laptop via USB port (PC only). The information recorded by the Tracking Key can then be: viewed as a written activity/text report; displayed over a digital street map; or – the most popular option –  displayed over a satellite image on Google Earth.

New Tracking System to Help Boost Efficiency While Saving the City Money Longterm

The City of Temple (Texas) approved a new GPS tracking system for their fleet of city vehicles. The technology is estimated to cost thousands of dollars to purchase and implement, however, city leaders say it will be worth every penny.

The hardware’s initial cost is estimated to be more than $25,000. A monthly fee of $2,500 for service will continue after that. City officials said the GPS is well within their budget, and should pay for itself over the next couple of years.

The tracking hardware will be installed in 82 of the city’s 700 vehicles, and city leaders hope to have the devices working in about 45 days.

GPX Riding Creates GPS Artwork

GPS tracking devices, such as LandAirSea’s SilverCloud real-time GPS tracking system, are most commonly used by fleet management and vehicle delivery services to enhance efficiency and boost productivity. Other common applications that utilize GPS tracking technology include covert surveillance for law enforcement, detailed driving reports for small businesses, and parents who want to monitor their teen’s driving behaviors.

However, one resident in Baltimore has found a new way to use GPS tracking to create virtual art. Michael J. Wallace, who would be considered an avid cyclists and artist, has a website, WALLYGPX, which serves as a canvas for what he calls, “Virtual Geographic Adventures.” The website is a platform for Wallace to share his many interests with the rest of the world, but in a completely unique, and almost ingenius format.

Just Another Example of “Bubba Golf”

The pivotal point for Bubba Watson, Jr. at the 2012 Masters Golf Tournament, came during the final round. Watson found himself in some serious trouble off the tee at No. 10, slicing his drive way right, over the gallery and into the woods. The ball was nowhere near the fairway, leaving him very little angle to get onto the 10th green.

The pressure was on for Watson, especially after Louis Oosthuizen got a lucky bounce to have a chance at the green with his second shot. It was sudden death at one of the biggest, if not the biggest, stage amongst gold tournaments. His second shot could determine his fate at The Masters, and potentially cement his name among the all the time greats in the sport.

Good Eats On the Go

The world we live in is becoming increasingly fast-paced, especially in the realm of technology. Computers today are faster, lighter, smaller and more powerful than they were even a year ago. Information is communicated at a much faster rate due to all the advancements in mobile technology – laptops, tablets and cellular phones. We want to know the what, when, where and how right now, and this is no different when it comes to food.

The mobile food truck industry is rapidly growing in major cities such as Toronto, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Austin, New York and Boston. These restaurants-on-wheels, as some would say, are serving up some unique and innovative fare, from Korean BBQ tacos to gourmet grilled cheese, and even delicious slow smoked meats. The Cooking Channel even has a T.V. show dedicated to seeking out the very best curbside eats from all over North America, called Eat St.

Cost Benefits of GPS Tracking for Small to Large Fleet Vehicle Businesses

Many small fleet businesses and companies rely on the accuracy of their driver’s mileage reports. It’s a business expense that requires significant attention, especially with escalating gas prices.

Keeping track of these expenses can be extremely tricky, and difficult to organize, especially for fleet managers and business owners who are constantly on the go. Companies who depend largely on the efficiency and effectiveness of their outside sales representatives, traveling consultants and/or fleet vehicle operators, must implement a system that allows them to determine the precise number of miles driven in order to safeguard against lost revenue due to inaccurate driving reports.
