GPS Tracking

Taking Technology Along

The Best Uses of GPS Tracking

Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world at 29,035 feet high.  A teenager, 13 year-old Jordan Romero, trekked to the peak and proceeded to call his mother from a satellite based phone to tell her the wonderful news: “mom, I’m calling you from the top of the world.”

The mother, of course, was happy – especially that he had made it safely.  The way she knew this was from his call, but also she tracked his progress via a GPS tracking system. (more…)

GPS Tracking Tackles Politicians

How Useful is it Really?

Source acquired via Business Week, May 6, 2010 – There’s a new iPhone app out there, and this one is aimed at Congress. The “Political GPS” app created by Thomas Huntington was invented to track members of Congress. The idea is to provide iPhone users with knowledge as to how members of Congress vote on a regular basis. Since those who follow politics closely have a vested interest in how certain members of Congress vote, this app is pure genius. (more…)

Ever Expanding Uses

Safety and Profitability Goes Up

It is sure to be a watershed year for GPS Tracking in 2010.  This is true because of the already incredible ways that it has been put to use.  Even more ways are being explored for tracking that both improves and helps keep our society safer.

The central concepts of recovery, verification and safety are at the forefront of reasons to implement GPS Tracking.  Here are some of the ways that we are already experiencing positive effects from these devices. (more…)

Source: The Consumerist, May 12, 2010 - We’ve all had the experience – waiting anxiously for our bags to tumble down the baggage-claim carousel, only to learn, hours later, that they never left Houston with us in the first place.  But the hassles involved with missing a suitcase-full of clothes pales in comparison to the story of Paco, the dog who disappeared en-route on a Delta flight.

When GPS Tracking emerged in the mid-90s onto farms, the application was limited:  yield mapping for crops.  Now about 15 years later, this technology has made significant in-roads into the way crops are planted which enhances crop yields even further.

To wit, implement manufacturers are now including the wiring and mounting spaces for GPS devices that are built specifically to hold these units.  Also, these units are performing important functions in the planting process that adds specificity heretofore not enjoyed by the farming community.
