<p><a href="http://www.vehicletrackingsolutions.com/gpsvts/"><img class="alignleft" style="padding-right: 20px; border: 0pt none;" src="/images/monica-gps-vehicle-tracking.jpg" border="0" alt="Vehicle Tracking Solutions" width="254" height="284" /></a>The <a href="http://www.vehicletrackingsolutions.com/gpsvts/">GPS Vehicle Tracking Solution that is Silent Passenger</a> is a real time vehicle tracking system that is born out of being the best of the best and fully customizable to any business. Inspired by a forward thinking process this vehicle tracking application has some of the fastest features available for its kind . The tracking system can update vehicle location as fast as every 30 seconds or so, and data can be accessed via web access on a pc or mac, standard cellphone, and even smartphone apps. The Vehicle Tracking Solutions’ Silent Passenger Application gives the end user a number of great features including but not limited to;  Tracking &#8211; STOPS: you can see the duration of stop quick and easy, want to know how efficient your drivers are, you can see the distance and travel time between each stop. ROUTE: reporting feature allows you to see the turn-by-turn activity of a vehicle&#8217;s trip for any given day, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year.  SPEED: know when your driver speed. You can  record any time a vehicle exceeds the posted speed limit.  ODOMETER: Know if too many miles are being put on your vehicle. You can view the total miles driven for any vehicle to keep track of your fleet&#8217;s maintenance needs.  STATE MILEAGE: This feature is great for fleet managers that have trucks that travel out of state and through many states. You can track the miles driven within any particular state for taxes or other purposes. ENGINE IDLING: Idling wastes gas. Up to an extra gallon per hour. That adds up at end of month. Feature displays how long a vehicle&#8217;s engine has been idling throughout the day. START/END OF DAY: Know the in’s and out’s. Silent Passenger displays location of where a vehicle started its day, how many hours worked, how many hours in motion, total distance traveled and location at the end of its shift. And last but not least the ROI and bottom line. Use Silent Passenger from Vehicle Tracking Solutions for payroll and overtime discrepancies. Why pay more when it is not necessary? Improve your bottom line and boost profits.</p>
<p><strong>Bottom line: </strong>Vehicle Tracking Solutions has a great reputation since day one. A private company built from its own earnings. Putting the customer first – ALL THE TIME. You would hard pressed to find a overall superior product from any of its competitors. A GPS tracking application where performance is optimal and VTS tech are very helpful with their knowledge and customer support. No need to install. The installation is free. As is the equipment and training. This tracking product requires a subscription to Vehicle Tracking Solutions – A GPS Service provider.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Pros:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Software easy to install</li>
<li>Signal is strong throughout vehicle, even through metal</li>
<li>Strong magnet for attachment</li>
<li>Long battery life: 2+ weeks regular driving</li>
<li>Complete data includes route, speed, time of stops, and playback</li>

<li>Plugs directly into USB port</li>
<li>No on-off switch means drivers can’t disable without screwdriver</li>
<li>Uses standard AAA batteries</li>
<li>Small and easy to conceal</li>
</ul>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Cons:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Not a live tracking device: must detach and plug in to computer to retrieve data</li>
<li>Must unscrew to change battery and turn off device: tiny screws easy to lose</li>
<li>Software and included maps are outdated: most users prefer Google Earth</li>
<li>Only supports Windows (Mac and Linux not supported)</li>
<li>Occasional signal delay has skewed some owners’ reports</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Review</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.gpsvehicletrackingreview.com/go/landairsea-las-1505"><img class="alignleft" style="border: 0pt none;" title="LandAirSea LAS-1505 GPS Vehicle Tracker" src="/images/reviews/LandAirSea-LAS-1505.jpg" alt="LandAirSea LAS-1505 GPS Vehicle Tracker" width="250" height="250" /></a>The <a href="http://www.gpsvehicletrackingreview.com/go/landairsea-las-1505">LAS-1505 GPS Tracking Key from LandAirSea</a> is designed to affix to a vehicle to help track the routes that vehicle has travelled. LandAirSea markets Tracking Key as a way to keep track of teenage drivers, company vehicles, and spouses.</p>
<p>It’s important to note that this is not a vehicle location device: you cannot go on your computer and find out where the vehicle is located at that moment. Rather, the Tracking Key records a vehicle’s path while it is in motion. Then, you remove the device from the car, plug it into a computer, and download the data from the device into your computer.</p>
<p>LandAirSea says that their products receive signals from 24 different GPS satellites operated by the Department of Defense, and that the device reports accuracy within 2.5 meters of the vehicle’s location. Users say it’s a little less precise, but is usually within 3 or 4 houses of the recorded street address.</p>
<p>The data recorded by the LandAirSea Las-1505 Tracking Key includes the course a vehicle took, how long it took to get there, how fast the vehicle travelled, and the length and location of any stops along the way. Stops lasting shorter than 7 minutes sometimes are not logged in the report as a full stop, but the software’s route playback feature does allow users to identify shorter stops that occurred.</p>
<p>Users complain of outdated and somewhat “clunky” software, but the data is automatically imported into Google Earth, which most find to be perfect for their needs. <strong>NOTE</strong>: This product does not work with Mac and Linux operating systems, only Windows.</p>
<p>One of the common praises of the LandAirSea LAS-1505 GPS Tracking Key is the strength of its signal. Owners have placed it behind metal and under upholstery and find the signal to be strong and consistent no matter where they put the device.</p>
<p>Battery life is also good; most users find that standard AAA batteries last for around three weeks, although a few do report faster battery drain.</p>
<p>The only consistent complaint is that the Tracking Key does not have an on-off switch: the battery compartment must be unscrewed and the batteries removed for the device to shut off. While some view this as an advantage (teenagers cannot simply flick the device off), the logistics of frequently removing tiny screws is time consuming and makes the screws easy to lose.</p>
<p><strong>Bottom line: </strong>The <a href="http://www.gpsvehicletrackingreview.com/go/landairsea-las-1505">LAS-1505 GPS Tracking Key from LandAirSea</a> is a small, affordable, effective vehicle tracking system that keeps a strong signal and has competitive battery life despite the lack of an on-off switch. This tracking system plugs into a USB port to download the recorded data, but is only compatible with Windows operating systems. The software is a bit outdated, but the comprehensive data it records works well with Google earth.</p>

<li>Small, easy to transfer from one vehicle to another</li>

</ul>
<p><strong>Review</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.gpsvehicletrackingreview.com/go/zoombak-zmbk200"><img class="alignleft" style="border: 0pt none;" title="Zoombak ZMBK200 GPS Vehicle Tracking System" src="/images/reviews/Zoombak-ZMBK200.jpg" alt="Zoombak ZMBK200 GPS Vehicle Tracking System" width="250" height="250" /></a>The <a href="http://www.gpsvehicletrackingreview.com/go/zoombak-zmbk200">Zoombak ZMBK200 Advanced GPS Car and Family Locator</a> is a small GPS unit that can be accessed remotely to gain information on where the unit is at any given time. It uses a combination of GPS signals (which identify the unit’s location) and cell phone signals (which communicate that location to the Zoombak interface). Users can log on to the Zoombak website and check a car’s real-time location, and can also request text and/or email notifications any time the unit enters or leaves a pre-set “active safety zone” (e.g. home, work, school, grandma’s house, etc.).</p>
<p>The Zoombak ZMBK200 comes with a wall charger, car charger, and carrying case. It easily fits in pockets and backpacks, measuring under 3 inches and weighing 2.5 ounces.</p>
<p>Generally, the ZMBK200 runs in stand-by mode, then kicks on to check and report the unit’s location every 15 minutes. Because of this, notification texts/emails for safety zone entrance/exit can be delayed by as long as 15 minutes. On the website, “Find Now” requests are real-time, and Continuous Tracking mode can be enabled and will run for an hour. This will use up more battery power than the regular 15 minute interval, however. Users can also request to be notified via text and/or email when the battery in the unit is low.</p>
<p>In addition to the product itself, users must pay an activation fee and subscribe to an ongoing service plan. As of 10/4/10, monthly plans range from $34.99/month for as-you-go to $239.99 ($9.99/month) for a pre-paid 2-year plan. The lifetime plan costs $349.99. Cancelling before 1 year warrants a $100 cancellation fee.</p>
<p>Zoombak ZMBK200 is promoted as a tool that provides peace of mind, and for the most part, customers seem pleased with the experience. More than half report excellent performance, but some seem to have trouble getting the unit to recognize nearby GPS receptors.</p>
<p>Poor customer service is a consistent complaint among those who have had trouble with either the unit itself or with billing. Inconsistencies, ill-informed customer service representatives, and gross delays in necessary refunds have all been reported. However, people who return the unit to external retailers, such as Amazon, have no problem getting refunded for the unit itself; it’s service plan disputes and Zoombak’s representatives that are earning a poor reputation.</p>
<p><strong>Bottom line: </strong>The <a href="http://www.gpsvehicletrackingreview.com/go/zoombak-zmbk200">Zoombak ZMBK200</a> is a small GPS locator with a powerful signal. It offers real-time “Find Now” location and updates (via text and/or email) when the unit enters or leaves specific preset zones. Most users are very pleased with the performance of the product itself, but Zoombak is fast earning a reputation for very poor customer service, support, and billing resolution.</p>

<p><strong>Review</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.gpsvehicletrackingreview.com/go/escort-entourage-ps-kit-0019"><img class="alignleft" style="border: 0pt none;" title="Escort Entourage PS Kit-0019 GPS Vehicle Tracking System" src="/images/reviews/Escort-Entourage-PS-Kit-001.jpg" alt="Escort Entourage PS Kit-0019 GPS Vehicle Tracking System" width="250" height="250" /></a>The <a href="http://www.gpsvehicletrackingreview.com/go/escort-entourage-ps-kit-0019">Escort Entourage PS Kit-0019 GPS Vehicle Tracker</a> is a robust vehicle tracking device. The portable Entourage unit can be placed in a car or other vehicle, and information on the device’s whereabouts are available via web, cell phone, or Blackberry.</p>
<p>The Entourage offers two primary types of location alerts. Users can sign up for mobile security alerts via text and email, which will send an alert any time the vehicle departs from a pre-described geographic location. Escort promotes this feature as a security measure to be alerted instantly of possible theft.</p>
<p>The second type of location service is the request of real-time locating, which can be activated via text and web and reports the vehicle’s location within 20 seconds of the request being sent. This services is particularly robust, as it offers interactive mapping that integrates with Google Maps. Users can zoom, pan, and view exact street location, direction, and vehicle speed.</p>
<p>Battery life in the Escort Entourage PS is fairly good. Its internal, rechargeable battery can run for several days before needing a recharge. (Escort says 7 days and users say 3-4 days; it depends largely on how often the unit is activated for real-time location reporting). The Kit-0019 set comes with both a vehicle charger cable and a wall charger.</p>
<p>In addition to the location-based alerts and updates, the Escort Entourage PS Vehicle Tracker offers two additional alter types. Users can choose to receive text and/or email updates when the unit battery begins to get low. Security alerts are also available: the Escort Entourage PS is equipped with tamper-sensing technology that senses abnormal vibration, which can be associated with an ongoing attempt at vehicular theft.</p>
<p>The Escort Entourage PS unit itself is more expensive than competing units from other companies (the Zoombak ZMBK200, for example), but its monthly data plans are more affordable and straightforward. Monthly costs are $14.95 after a single $29.95 activation fee and there is no minimum subscription or cancellation penalty.</p>
<p>Most users report very strong and accurate reception, although it seems that some areas with weak cell phone reception will also have week cell communication between the Entourage PS device and the Escort website.</p>
<p><strong>Bottom line: </strong>The <a href="http://www.gpsvehicletrackingreview.com/go/escort-entourage-ps-kit-0019">Escort Entourage PS</a> unit provides comprehensive vehicle tracking, including both real-time location and vehicle movement notification through web, cell, and smartphone interfaces. Its robust mapping and reporting paired with generally strong signal performance makes it a more consistent unit than some competitors. Fees are straightforward and competitive, though the up front cost is a bit more expensive than similar products.</p>

<p><strong>Review</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.gpsvehicletrackingreview.com/go/gotrack-ez"><img class="alignleft" style="border: 0pt none;" title="GoTrack EZ GPS Vehicle Tracking System" src="/images/reviews/GoTrack-EZ--Zero.jpg" alt="GoTrack EZ GPS Vehicle Tracking System" width="227" height="227" /></a>The <a href="http://www.gpsvehicletrackingreview.com/go/gotrack-ez">GoTrack EZ</a> is one of the most consistently positively reviewed vehicle GPS tracking unit on the marketplace. It plus directly into the OBD-II port of a vehicle (every car produced after 1996 has such a port) and keeps contract track of where that vehicle is located. The GoTrack EZ updates location a minimum of once per minute, which is more often than many competitors (several update every 15 minutes unless instructed to do otherwise).</p>
<p>The information kept by the GoTrack EZ can be accessed via web, cell phone, or smartphone app (both iPhone and Android apps include real-time mapped reports of vehicle location). Users can use these apps or the GoTrack website to find out not only the exact location of a vehicle, but also its direction and speed.</p>
<p>GoTrack EZ also offers a number of email/text alerts when the unit senses certain behaviors. Like many competitors, the GoTrack EZ will alert users when the vehicle arrives at or leaves a certain location. This is popular for parents keeping track of teenage drivers; for example, alerts may be requested whenever the vehicles arrives at or leaves home, school, work, a friend’s house, etc. This unit also provides tampering alerts that could indicate attempted theft. The unit can also alert users if the vehicle is moved after a certain time of day or if it exceeds a certain speed. These two are alerts not found in many of the GoTrack EZ’s competitors.</p>
<p>Customers praise the GoTrack EZ for its easy installation, which they report lives up to the manufacturer’s promises. The unit is simply plugged into the OBD-II port. Users then call the company’s 800 number. Their unit is then activated and their receive login information for the GoTrack website. Customers report a high level of satisfaction with GoTrack’s customer service representatives, who they report are helpful and knowledgeable about the product and its installation.</p>
<p>There is no long-term contract required for the GoTrack EZ, but like similar products it does require a subscription service to support the web-based tracking features. With a one year bundle, the service comes out to $16.67/month (as of 10/7).</p>
<p>Customers report high satisfaction with the performance of the GoTrack EZ as well as interactions with the company. There are no known customer complaints about the GoTrack EZ.</p>
<p><strong>Bottom line: </strong>The <a href="http://www.gpsvehicletrackingreview.com/go/gotrack-ez">GoTrack EZ</a> GPS tracker has a solid reputation for superior performance and helpful customer support. The unit is simple to install and requires no battery. Reports include exact location, speed, and direction of travel; users can also get updates about leaving/arriving at a specific location, exceeding a certain speed, and operating outside of certain hours. Data can be accessed via web, cell phone, and smartphone; this product requires subscription service beyond the cost of the unit itself.</p>

<p><strong>Review</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.gpsvehicletrackingreview.com/go/trackstick-pro"><img class="alignleft" style="border: 0pt none;" title="TrackStick Pro GPS Vehicle Tracking System" src="/images/reviews/TrackStick-Pro.jpg" alt="TrackStick Pro GPS Vehicle Tracking System" width="176" height="176" /></a>The <a href="../go/trackstick-pro">TrackStick Pro GPS Vehicle Tracking System Data Logger</a> is a device that is placed in a vehicle (or backpack, briefcase, or even on a bicycle) to keep track of where the unit travels, how fast it travels, and when and where it stops. The company promotes this is a device helpful in monitoring the route and behavior of a driver and of tracking travel patterns on vacations or other extended trips.</p>
<p>Note: The purpose of the TrackStick Pro is not to identify the real-time location of a vehicle. It does not provide remote information that can be viewed online or via cell phone. Rather, the purpose of data recording GPS trackers is to log and document a specific route that a vehicle has taken after the fact.</p>
<p>The TrackStick Pro features a built in USB jack; the unit is plugged directly into a computer for the data to be downloaded. This is also helps charge the unit, which gains power from the computer while plugged in and can be charged with a cigarette lighter plug.</p>
<p>Because there is no real-time communication service, there are no monthly fees or activation costs associated with the TrackStick Pro, but it does mean that to read the report, the device must be physically removed, brought to the computer, and then re-placed on the vehicle. NOTE: the software required to do this is only compatible with Windows operating systems.</p>
<p>Data recorded by the TrackStick Pro is relatively comprehensive. It delivers information on exact route, speed, and other elements. When downloaded onto the computer, the data can be directly integrated with Google Earth for street-level overlay. TrackStick says the data is also compatible with other mapping programs.</p>
<p>TrackStick emphasizes the compact size and overall durability of the TrackStick Pro, touting its weatherproof case and ability to operate in both very cold (-22 degrees F) and very hot (176 degrees F) temperatures.</p>
<p>There is not much in the way of customer feedback with regards to the TrackStick Pro, so the reliability of this product, and the company’s customer service department is not established. Some reviews report very negative customer service experiences, and users have expressed skepticism over a series of glowing Amazon reviews, all placed on the same day, of multiple TrackStick products.</p>
<p><strong>Bottom line: </strong>The <a href="http://www.gpsvehicletrackingreview.com/go/trackstick-pro">TrackStick Pro GPS Vehicle Tracking Data Logger</a> purports severable desirable characteristics, but the jury is still out as to whether positive online reviews are accurate portrayals of the product’s performance. The TrackStick Pro records vehicle movement, route, speed, and other data for several days on a single charge. Users then plug the unit into a USB port, download the data directly to their computers (Windows only), with the option of using Google Maps and Google Earth to view the data.</p>

<p>I have not yet used the software because it would not load on my Mac, and the DVD drive on my PC is broken. Still waiting for the new drive to arrive before I can try it. I contacted Landairsea tech support to see if there was a way to use the software on the Mac (live chat) but gave up after waiting 20 minutes for a response. There was nothing about use on a Mac on the website so I am assuming it just isn&#8217;t compatible.<br />
<br />Field trial of the unit seems like it gets good signal anywhere in the car. It&#8217;s mostly plastic (the car that is)<br />
<br />I wouldn&#8217;t have much trouble with the small screws holding the battery cover except they are right next to the magnet which is quite strong. The screws and screwdriver keep snapping over to the magnet. Wish I had a plastic screwdriver. They should provide non-magnetic screws.</td>

<p>I bought this to keep tabs on my cheatin&#8217; spouse. It is excellent when it works&#8230;.the only problem is that the coverage is based on the AT&#038;T coverage map and it stinks in my area. When paying 14.95 a month you would think coverage would be better than what it is&#8230;..Just check your local AT&#038;T coverage to see how it will work for you.<br />
<br />Battery power is better than I expected&#8230;it lasts me about 3 to 4 days depending on how much I locate it or have it scheduled to locate every 10 to 30 minutes. Its larger than I thought it would be so hiding it was a little more difficult but I found a good hiding spot&#8230;<br />
<br />It will text or email you when battery is low or car is moved (if it&#8217;s in good coverage area) Also when the car is moved it will locate the device every 5 minutes for two hours which I liked.<br />
<br />So, all in all, if the coverage in my area was better and it was a bit smaller, it would be perfect!</td>

<p>This product is very easy to install with only two wires.  One for power(must find a constant 12v) and one for ground.  After that you just choose a location to hide the device and press the on button.  Then you log onto the website and choose a plan, either yearly or monthly.  I choose yearly $179/yr because they waive the activation fee.  </p>
<p>The product itself has many great features such as text and email alerts, vehicle locating, and vehicle tracking.  The actual gps locations are usually very accurate but they are sometimes off.  For example: I press locate when i know my vehicle is parked in front of my house but when it gives me my location it says my vehicle is next door at the neighbors house.   I would give this product 5 out of 5 if it didn&#8217;t have such an UNRELIABLE NETWORK.  I set my device to text me if the motion sensor senses vibration, if my vehicle is stolen, or if it logs out of the network.  I have received a text multiple times in the past month saying my device has logged off the network which basically means the device is off.  There is no way of locating or tracking it until the network is back up.  Sometimes its offline for 5-10 minutes, sometimes i&#8217;ve noticed it down for hours.  I have since emailed customer service and this is what they are saying:</p>
<p>&#8220;We are currently having intermittent issues with devices being able to communicate over our wireless partners wireless network.  We are working to resolve the situation as soon as possible.&#8221;  </p>
<p>This would be a good explanation if it happened maybe once or twice since owning the device, but it has happened at least 8 or 9 times and i have the texts alerts to prove it.  This is very unreliable because at any of these times your vehicle could be stolen and you would have no way to track it until they fix whatever issues they are having for the day.  </p>
<p>I also bought this product because at CES 2010 they announced an iphone app coming in January, currently there is only an app for blackberrys.  It is now February and no iphone app available which is very disappointing.  </p>
<p>For this review i gave only 2 stars mainly for the ease of installation and great features.  I wouldn&#8217;t give it more than 2 stars because I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND this product to friends or family members knowing that there are ongoing issues with the network.  At this point it is just too unreliable to recommend but I will keep this review updated if anything changes.</td>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I need to tell you that your <a href="http://www.vehicletrackingsolutions.com" target="_new">GPS Vehicle Tracking</a> gadget is really saving me some money. I use it to compare daily time sheets from the men and it really has cut down on my payroll. As you know, by law an employer needs to pay one way to the job. However, we do not need to pay everyone, only the driver, for the ride home. You can see where I&#8217;m going with this. My crew cab holds 6 men. (Example: trip to Boston. Going to job in morning is 1.5 hrs in normal traffic. Travel home 1.5-2 hrs.  1.5 x $37.00= $56.25 x 5= $281.25. Amount in 1 week = $1406.25. The clock stops ticking when the truck starts moving, and only the driver gets paid.  Also, because they know that they are being tracked, it stops them from making the coffee stops on the way to the job. The old &#8220;traffic was heavy&#8221; excuse is no longer valid. Another point is misuse of the vehicles after hours and on weekends for the trips to the store which saves on gas, but, and this is really huge, it decreases (no, eliminates completely) the odds of an accident happening, increasing insurance costs, and possible loss of a valued employee. So, thanks for this early Xmas gift from your Company to mine.</p>

<p>We have been using the <a href="http://www.vehicletrackingsolutions.com" target="_new">GPS Fleet Tracking</a> services of Vehicle Tracking Solutions for many years. We have found VTS to be invaluable. Having the devices in our trucks saves us a lot of money and gives us piece of mind to know where our trucks are at all times. It eliminated the problem of truck usage after hours and employees getting to the job sites late or leaving early.</p>
<p>We know that we cannot afford NOT to have this service. The internet access available through Silent Passenger enables us to track our trucks from anywhere. John Cunningham and his staff are always available to assist with any question or problem.</p>

<p>You have just made some major improvements to the Silent Passenger <a href="http://www.vehicletrackingsolutions.com" target="_new">GPS Tracking</a> reports and I can&#8217;t tell you how easy you have made my life sitting here in the little town of Warren, CT (population 1300), following all these federal regulations for our measly 2 trucks.</p>
<p>You are just great! Thanks. I pulled detailed PDF reports in less than 2 minutes and saved them to the hard drive. I am thrilled that even though I spent more on the VTS equipment than I had spent with Navtrak, your reports and the ease of producing them<br />
just blows Navtrak away! It&#8217;s everything Pete promised me when he sold it to me, and I can&#8217;t thank you enough.</p>
<p>All my best,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you want to keep up with the pace of the Information age and modern technology, then you have to run your business accordingly. You cannot afford to use obsolete methods to increase your profitability. Therefore if you are in a business which involves using vehicles then you must get <a href="http://www.gpsvehicletrackingreview.com/articles/improve-business-with-gps-vehicle-tracking/">GPS vehicle tracking</a>.</p>
<p>Everyone appreciates up-to-the-minute information. We get updates on the stock market, emails forwarded to our cell phones, latest news and bank account details all with a click of a button. We are connected to the world with the help of so many technologies. And we must learn to appreciate this concept of constant flow of information, whenever we want, wherever we want.</p>
<p>Gone are the days when we tell our customers to wait until noon for the goods to get delivered or give them ridiculous estimates on the time of delivery. If we want things done at the spur of the moment, so do our customers.</p>
<p>This is definitely not good customer service. If it’s not you, the customers have hundreds of better options out there. So if you want to keep up in business then you have to improve your customer service. So next time a customer calls to ask when should they expect the goods to be delivered, all you need to do is look into your GPS vehicle tracking system records and find out how far is the vehicle from the customer’s site.</p>
<p>You can then give them precise time of the delivery. So now instead of putting the customer on hold, and calling the service technician to find out the approximate time of delivery, you can just look into your system and tell them the exact time. They are sure to appreciate your promptness.<br />
You need to give your customers outstanding service to stay in the business. And for that you need to use the latest technology so that you can deliver to the best of your ability. If you don’t, someone else will, and you will surely lag behind in this competitive world.</p>
<p>If you are in a business which uses vehicles, have demanding customers and have fierce competition then a <strong>GPS vehicle tracking</strong> system is a must have tool for running your business smoothly and keeping up with the competition.</p>
<p>Many businesses have started using GPS systems to improve their clientele and profits. Some of them include HVAC contractors, food and beverage distributors, utility service providers, florists, and limousine and car rental companies and so on.</p>
<p>GPS tracking systems will help you get more satisfied customers and this equates to more business and profits. Now you can give your customers up-to-date information when they call for delivery queries. With <a href="http://www.gpsstorm.com/gps-vehicle-tracking-devices/index.html"> GPS vehicle tracking devices</a> you can tell your customer where exactly your employee is and give them a precise time of his arrival. Now your customers are happier and more satisfied with your prompt and precise information!</p>

Cellular-based tracking, wireless-passive tracking and real-time satellite based tracking. Let us see the pros and cons of each of these tracking systems.</p>
<p>Cellular-based tracking</p>
<ul>
<li>The main advantage of this type of tracking system is its low cost as compared to the other types. It cost somewhere around $500. It uses the local cell phone network (GSM/GPRS) to track the vehicle details and you can get the updates in every five minutes. You can get this information through internet for a monthly cost of around $35.</li>
<li>The main disadvantage is that this GPS vehicle tracking system will not be able to record any information if       the vehicle is in a low or no network area of your service provider.</li>
</ul>
<p>Wireless-passive tracking</p>
<ul>
<li>The main advantage of this type of GPS vehicle tracking system is that it is a one-time investment. You don’t have to pay monthly fees for the information provided by the GPS carrier. But the system setup is a bit expensive with the hardware and software installation going up to around $1500.</li>
<li>The major of this system is that you can view the records only after the vehicle returns to the owner or the company base. So it’s not of any help if the vehicle is lost or stolen. However people have started installing wireless modems to these devices to view the tracking information even without the memory card from the GPS system in the vehicle.</li>
<li>This extra gadget also helps the wireless-passive tracking system to collect other information such as vehicle’s speed, stops made and other detailed information. With this additional device, many companies find wireless-passive tracking a better option as there are no monthly costs involved.</li>
</ul>
<p>Satellite-based real time tracking</p>
<ul>
<li> The main advantage of this <strong>GPS vehicle tracking</strong> system that works nation-wide so you can track the details of your vehicle anywhere in the country. This system is best for shipping and trucking companies who send their fleet across the country. The setup cost of this system is around $700 with a monthly fees ranging from $5 to $100, depending on the details of the information provided to the company.</li>
<li>The main disadvantage is that this system does not give detailed information. So if you want to know minute details of your vehicle’s location, direction or speed, this system is not the best one.</li>
</ul>
<p>Most people only think of GPS for cars and trucks but another type of GPS that you can get is motorcycle GPS. GPS for motorcycles can be great those that have delivery services that use motorcycles such as pizzerias and shipping companies. They are also great for non-business people who just want a GPS device to help them get around on their motorcycle.</p>
<p>You need to know your budget and requirements before choosing a tracking system that best suits your business. There are other advancements in the tracking system industry which you can research online. With a little bit of investment on tracking systems you can improve your business and take it to a whole new level.</p>
