The Tracking process
The tracking device is installed into a vehicle (or piece of equipment or asset) to gather all sorts of information including speed, idle time, diagnostics, etc. It uses Global Positioning Systems (GPS satellites) to know the vehicle or equipment’s location at all times. The information that is gathered from the vehicle is then stored on the device inside.
