Today, the era of technological advancements is widely accepting the technique of GPS vehicle tracking system, this system is meant to make our life more safe and secure but it also adds high level of efficiency in each operation.

As every coin has two sides, people believe that GPS vehicle tracker is unnecessary to use in life and also it symbolizes doubt in the employee’s mind about their conduct but it just influences company to commit from their employees for their safety and security at all times within their presence.

MYTH 1. We don’t need GPS tracking because we trust our people.

This is a myth that installing a tracker against employees is about to monitor their each move but it is actually to keep the track on operating costs and inefficiencies in the field. GPS Trackers have been very much helpful to reduce and maintain fuel costs, increase routing and dispatching efficiency, enhances the drivers safety provisions and also helps to increase the frequency to become answerable to customer’s transportation related queries.

MYTH 2. All our drivers will quit if we get GPS tracking.

Many of the customers proved wrong this myth by adding their experience that after installing GPS vehicle tracking system their drivers depends on it for various purposes like, it provides route information and also helps to verify their work performed on time, etc. Even, GPS trackers eliminate the time-consuming paperwork and provide additional security for both drivers and cargo while on road.

MYTH3. GPS vehicle tracking devices are complicated to install and use.

Nowadays, people tends to engage in fleet management solutions to manage and organize their fleets. Basic components involved in Fleet tracking systems are:
a) a tracker to be installed in the vehicle,
b) a user interface that organizes and displays information of the vehicle. Both installation and platform of tracking are easy and user-friendly.

A GPS vendors works with Fleet managers to-

• Interpret the system data and improve the operational efficiencies
• Provide easily accessible technical and sales support to cover service related issues.
  

MYTH4. GPS is unnecessary:

Fleet owners own a myth that they can track their vehicles just by installing an application but eventually the procedure begins with the installation of GPS trackers and mobile phones/ handhelds provide the information on behalf of the tracker installed in the vehicle. Here GPS tracker becomes the major instances for the purpose.

MYTH5. All GPS tracking systems are essentially equal.

This statement is partially true as to select the GPS tracking service provider technology is not the major criterion, where experienced users knows the value of the service provider and service contracted.

It is not right to set all the tracking related demands on same surface. GPS tracking systems goes much beyond the tracking dots on a map.

With the different sets of requirement, customer can determine much interest in learning about the upgrading technologies that can transform their business.

MYTH6. A GPS tracking system is another product I can buy to help make my business more productive.

GPS tracking system is not product based company, it is a software based company. It can help fleet manager to increase company’ s overall productivity and profitability.

Therefore, fleet managers asked to sign service agreement for 3-4 years as service will be the crucial factor for GPS tracking companies to provide effective solutions for fleet tracking

MYTH7. My company can’t afford a GPS tracking system.

GPS tracking System does not involve huge investment; it majorly requires investment in hardware for each vehicle and a monthly data fee and wireless platform.

Thus, this system helps to easily identify the inefficiencies and practices that are held in the field that includes excess overtime, inefficient routing, excess engine idling, etc. as these practices often costs inefficient monthly requirement.

Therefore, this system helps to reduce this cost and maintain the vehicle related expenses.

MYTH8. GPS tracking is an unproven technology.

GPS tracking system has very much proved its power in technology by giving accuracy in location and tracking the objects at real-time using satellites and wireless communications.  Now, with the updated market this core technology is throughout the consumer and their needs.

Therefore, in commercial applications, GPS systems’ effectiveness in increasing productivity and reducing operational costs.

“The GPS Industry is undergoing a Complete Technological Metamorphosis.”
GPS tracking was introduced to the Indian market in Mid 90’s and since then there have been advances in technology that are leading the evolution of GPS and its tracking capabilities. India’s own GPS NavIC set to hit the market early next year. NavIC (‘Navigation with Indian Constellation’ whose Hindi meaning is ‘sailor’ or ‘navigator’), the name given by PM Narendra Modi after the launch of IRNSS-1G.

NavIC  is the operational name of “The Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System” (IRNSS) which is currently in its nascent stage. Our own GPS is most likely to be available in the market for public use early next year. GPS tracking devices can provide accurate information and it is more accurate than the US GPS system.

Personal GPS Tracking Devices For Loved Ones

Is it really important to keep your Loved Ones on the Grid?

Have you really ensured the safety of your loved ones, be it your kid, you pet or your old parents suffering from memory loss. Alzheimer is a disease which has not found a cure till date. The effects of Alzheimer’s are currently irreversible and are rapidly growing in India. It’s so important that we provide services and products like the GPS trackers to make life safer and more enjoyable.

So why not slip a GPS personal tracking device into your parents’ bag or wife’s car before she heads off to work. Put another tracker in your 2-year-old’s diaper bag and sent him off to day care. If you still have a few trackers left, and your parents were in town, also put one into their vehicle while they took your son out to the park. You might say it’s spying but prevention is better than cure.

These GPS tracking devices works by connecting to satellites and cellular networks. It allows to follow subjects and report back their locations to their masters. Once you sent them out into the world, you could look up the trackers online. It can also send alerts when you configure them based on various criteria. If your wife’s car left her office parking lot during the day or your parents’ vehicle broke the speed limit, you will get a text alert. You will feel safe when you are with these small gadgets and someone you believe is having your back.

There is an entirely different use for such devices. For example, some parents use trackers to make sure their children get to school and back safely each day, or may be when they are out partying all night. You can also use them in your teenage drivers’ cars so that you can get alerted. There’s also the elder-care market — GPS trackers embedded into medical-alert devices can help locate and provide emergency help for parents with Alzheimer’s. You can also use them in your teenage drivers’ cars so that you can get alerted

We love your dog as much as you do, a tracker attached to its collar can let you know if it wanders out of your place. It’s recommended that you get used to these personal tracking devices as early as possible.

Axestrack’s personal tracking devices is very small in size even smaller and lighter than a cell phone. It can be slipped into a backpack, or placed in a carrying case attached to a child’s belt loop. Most customers buy the device for children between the ages of 2 and 10 — children who tend to wander around without any fear and tend to get lost & are too young to carry a mobile. Still, the Axestrack’s GPS tracking devices can also act as a small phone; with a press of a button on the device, your children can send a text or initiate a voice call with you, send out SOS alarms and you can also dial into the tracker and listen to their surroundings.

If your loved ones find themselves in an emergency or in a place without any cell phone connectivity, they can hit the SOS button on the SPOT to alert rescuers to your location; the device works almost anywhere as long as you have a clear view of the sky. If you are in trouble, you can use our AIS-140 GPS devices with SOS button to send a message to your parents. You can also track your progress on our dashboard.

Axestrack’s personal tracker allows you to monitor multiple trackers at once. If you’ve got many children and an ailing mom and a dog, you can watch them move about town on the same map. As you’re watching this map, there’s a possibility you’ll have second thoughts about what you’re doing. Are you being a little paranoid? Do you really need to keep track of all these people (and pets) in your life? And what about your children’s privacy and personal space — irrespective of all your thoughts what really matters is the safety.

Axestrack team believes that GPS tracking can actually help parents avoid acting overly protective. The rates of violent crime against children have increased significantly over the last few decades. The abductions are on rise, it’s difficult for parents to let go their children wander out into the world. A GPS tracker can help parents conquer that anxiety: because you know you’ll be able to find your children when they’re in trouble, you might allow them to walk to school, take the metro to the movies, or do any number of other grown-up things that children today don’t get to do.

But here comes the question what about your child’s privacy? We recommend those parents not to hide the trackers from their children; indeed, the trackers work best if children know that they can use them to alert their parents during an emergency. Privacy becomes more important to children as they get older, but at a certain point they might consider trading their privacy for freedom. “If the parents have a deal — ‘You can use my car if we put a locator on it, and if you ever get in a bind, I’ll know exactly where you are’ — most teenagers won’t mind that,”
