What is the most common type of tracking system?

The most common types of tracking systems use GPS technology which works by sending signals to satellites in orbit. These satellites then relay information about your vehicle's location, speed, and direction back to a central system. At Fleetsmart, we use this GPS technology to give you up-to-the-minute updates on where your fleet is, using Google Maps integration for easy viewing.

What is an example of a tracker system?

An example of a tracker system is Fleetsmart's vehicle tracking system, which uses advanced GPS technology and Google Maps integration to provide real-time location information for fleet vehicles. Fleetsmart can also provide Thatcham approved trackers, which can offer insurance benefits depending on your provider.

What tracker has the longest range?

The range of a tracker depends on its specific capabilities and purpose. Fleetsmart's GPS tracking system provides accurate and up-to-the-minute locations with a 2-metre accuracy, making it suitable for fleet management and ensuring precise tracking within that range.

What is the difference between a GPS and a tracker?

A GPS (Global Positioning System) is a satellite-based navigation system that provides location and positioning information. A tracker is a device or system that uses GPS technology to monitor and record the location of an object or vehicle. Fleetsmart uses GPS technology as part of its advanced tracking system to help fleet managers monitor and track their fleet vehicles.

How do you monitor a fleet of vehicles?

Fleetsmart helps you to monitor a fleet of vehicles by providing real-time, minute-by-minute access to your fleet's location through Google Maps. With this information and the data from our comprehensive reporting suite, you can gain complete visibility and control over your vehicles, helping you manage and track your fleet effectively.

What is the difference between GPS tracking and telematics?

GPS tracking focuses primarily on monitoring and tracking the location of vehicles, while telematics is a broader system that combines GPS data with other vehicle information, such as speed, fuel consumption, engine diagnostics, and driver behaviour. Fleetsmart's solutions offer a combination of GPS tracking and telematics to provide comprehensive fleet management capabilities.

How accurate is telematics GPS?

Telematics GPS systems, like the one used by Fleetsmart, are highly accurate. This allows us to provide you with up-to-the-minute locations with a 2-metre accuracy, ensuring precise and reliable tracking information for fleet management purposes.

What are the benefits of using a vehicle tracking system?

A vehicle tracking system offers numerous benefits, including improved operational efficiency, reduced fuel costs, and enhanced security for company assets. By providing real-time GPS fleet monitoring, businesses can gain insights into vehicle usage, optimise routes, and improve productivity. Vehicle tracking systems also help reduce unauthorised vehicle use and ensure compliance with regulations, making them an essential tool for fleet management.
