Why GPS? How GPS Works Insurance
How GPS Works
GPS vehicle and fleet tracking devices work in conjunction with cellular telephone and Internet technology. Utilizing a vehicle-mounted GPS receiver and a built in cellular transmitter, the vehicle’s location, speed, and direction are transmitted over a wireless network; e.g., every 2 minutes, to a web server. If you need to know your vehicles’ location in between the 2-minute reporting intervals, you can “ping” or “poll” your vehicle to get its real-time location.
This is a web-based application — there is no software to purchase, nor are you bothered with system requirements, upgrades or enhancements — and you can access your vehicle and fleet information from any computer that has Internet access and a browser. This information can immediately be viewed, or since it is saved on the server as well, it can be accessed at any time that is convenient for you.
While standard reports; e.g. Fuel Tax Report, are available to be viewed or printed at your convenience, you also have the ability to very easily generate customized reports per your specific needs and requests.
