Keeping track of your fleet or other vehicles has never been easier with vehicle tracking devices. GPS or GPRS tracking is affordable and completely reliable. Below is a short guide to those new to tracking systems.

What is GPS?

GPS is the abbreviated term for Global Positioning System. It is a network of 24 satellites that track such things as time, location, speed and heading of a vehicle. GPS is free to use and it works anywhere in the world. The signal is usually weak though and will only work outdoors.

What's is GPRS?

The abbreviated term for General Packet Radio Service. It sends and receives data over a GSM network. GPRS enables you to pay for data sent and received rather than time connected, which allows real time fleet management operation at a very reasonable cost. GPRS works anywhere in the world, subject to suitable GPRS coverage and map data availability for your chosen ASP - Application service provider.

Why you need an ASP

The vehicle tracker sends data about location and status of a vehicle (or device) to a computer server. An application service provider will allow you to use the date the tracker send in a user friendly format. For example you can create reports or check locations. Past records and maps are full accessible. Allowing you to track past journeys. The data is fully accessible away from the office. All you need is an internet connection, no special software, making fleet management on the go possible.
