Growth Of Vehicle Tracking
Textlink recently put out the real-time GPS satellite-tracking device, e.g. MapPoint Textracker. This innovative GPS satellite has some unique security features. It is designed as a vehicle tracking system, which is capable of storing the vehicle’s direction, speed, street data, etc, every single minute.
The GPS satellite can plan the data directly on MapPoint from Microsoft on the computer. While the GPS satellite is in tracking mode on a digital screen, the driver can watch his every move in real time. The data shows up Live on the screen and the position of the vehicle is updated every five seconds.
Ireland, Europe, and UK have issued this latest device. The drivers’ can now observe their vehicle on street maps from their office, laptop, computer, or home. MapPoint provides the driver with everything he or she needs. There is a street map, which functions on a street-mapping program for Europe, Ireland, and UK.
According to the company, the device is easy to install. There is a lifetime warranty available. Currently the device is being offered on a three-month plan with free tracking. There are some free offers online so look around for the deals.
Textlink MapPoint or Textracker runs on real time. It is recommended to have an expert install the system however.
Currently, UK companies are working with other experts to create top-notch security for the tracking devices, which means that the new devices will be capable of preventing unauthorized driving of your vehicle.
The new systems are highly secure. Anyone who tries to bypass the system will get an unwelcome result. The device recognizes fingerprints from a biometric dash that has a mounted switch. This enables the owner to have full control because no one else will be able to drive off with your vehicle. If someone tries to bypass the biometric system, it sends an immediate alert message to the owner of the vehicle.
The innovative communication and tracking features are capable of transmitting the data directly to a mapping program. This software is installed in the computer.
New device features will be available soon. The users have the option to buy and add some existing TXI or MapPoint control panel’s software. This new software will enable the driver view his or her vehicle while traveling in 3-Dimensional satellite view. A Virtual Earth platform is used.
You can use the system to identify buildings and streets. You can view your car in 3-Dimensional images in a bird’s eye. This is seen in real time while you are driving. This software should be available today.
Fleet managers may benefit from the updates offered by Textlink software. You can connect with all of your vehicles and receive data for all of those fleets simultaneously. With so many new features it is possible to stop car thieves in their track.
While it seems that GPS is at the top of the lines, there is still more growth for the Global Positioning Systems.
Vehicle Tracking Continues To Drop In Price
As the vehicle tracking market becomes more and more competitive the price of tracking continues to tumble. Many of the smaller brands are offering the most competitive deals. Leasing deals are starting at around 49p per day and for out right purchase the prices start at around 30p per day. Pay as you go and short term contracts are also available, but are a little more expensive. You can pay as you go deals from about 55p per day.
There are new vehicle tracking companies starting all the time and with every new business which enters the market there is yet more choice of suppliers and more competition in the market. Vehicle tracking is becoming a commodity in the same way as broadband or land lines are.
Many of these vehicle tracking systems use the same software to run them are simply branded differently. Therefore the actual choice to the customer is not so wide as it may seem.
In a market as crowded as this it will be interesting to see how things pan out over the coming months and years. It is likely that many of the smaller tracking suppliers will go out of business as a price war erupts.
