GPS or Global Positioning System is a worldwide radio-navigation system that was developed by the US Department of Defense and has been around for sometime now. Initially, this promising technology found it’s main use in defense and military operations where various mission-critical real-time information was involved regarding weather, troop positions, topography, tracking various objects, people and what not.

This beautiful technology utilizing a system of satellites and receiving devices is used to compute positions on the Earth. GPS is used in navigation, and its precision supports cadastral surveying. Thanks to progressing research and development, GPS has now landed in the hands of common man and organizations finding many important real-life uses like surveillance, child/pet/people tracking, geographic mapping, travel guidance, vehicle tracking, fleet management and freight tracking.

Probably one of the most important and common use of GPS today is GPS vehicle tracking. This has made life real easy for truck, freight and long distance transport operators. Earlier, it was almost impossible to track the exact position, speed, status or any delays encountered by vehicles on a trip. In case of breakdowns or cases where contact with the driver was severed, transport operators found themselves in deep trouble speculating what had actually happened and how to reach the freight to the destination in time.

With new age GPS vehicle tracking systems and services from providers like GPS Insight, employing easy-to-use hardware and web-based software, it has become really easy for transport operators to track their vehicle status and view other relevant data anytime. This enables surveillance over the vehicles, plan routes with better efficiency, fuel savings and more. No need to pay for idle hours anymore when they can track vehicle movement with exact location and speed. GPS Insight uses satellites and AT&T/T-Mobile to provide you with highly accurate vehicle locations every 2 minutes throughout the US and Canada.

The running cost is minimal in the long run (only $1.5 to 2 daily). The GPS hardware is small and directly interfaces with the vehicle’s diagnostics port; reporting engine status, failure codes if any, fuel usage, odometer readings, idle-times, stops and a lot of other relevant info. The GPS hardware is shipped the same day with 30 day money back guarantee and is a very helpful solution for companies related to transport, moving, construction, HVAC, sales forces, roofing, plumbing, product delivery, long haul trucking, etc.

Not only this, full high-end 3D terrain maps with great customization are available 24×7. If you look at their map demos, you’ll get an idea of how advanced current consumer GPS technologies have become these days.
