The majority of people use GPS tracking to follow maps, locate landmarks, and dispatch their fleets. FoxTrax vehicle tracking devices help fleet managers do all of the above – with highly accurate, real-time results. Why limit your tracking to just vehicles though? FoxTrax’s Spider device helps you manage all of your assets in addition to cars and trucks.
GPS tracking technology has now expanded into just about every potential market. Read on to discover the latest trends in GPS tracking.
1. Golf balls. The Caddy Track Pro application for iPhones measures the distance of golfers’ shots. The program captures the ball’s travel distance by reading the location of the ball before it is hit and when the golfer arrives at the ball’s new location.
2. Snow Plows. New Jersey is one of the first states to outfit its snow plows with GPS tracking. The technology lets plow drivers relay information to a central command center that tracks the exact time that certain streets were cleared and where those plows are heading next.
3. Rare birds. A New Zealand University student has recently outfitted five rare Kaka birds with backpacks bearing GPS tracking tags. He hopes to study their flight patterns to better understand the species’ habits.
4. School bus riders. Students in Fayette County, Kentucky will head back to school this year carrying their “Z-pass.” They swipe the card as they board the school bus, allowing teachers and administrators to track their whereabouts, thus enforcing school attendance rules.
5. Amusement park visitors. Cedar Park just launched the MyPark application, a virtual map of the theme park that directs guests to attractions, restaurants, and restrooms. The FriendFinder feature even allows you to locate lost family members.
