Satellite Maps for Vehicle Tracking

Filed under: 3D Satellite Imagery

Most of us know how valuable GPS technology is to us on a personal level.  We use navigation systems in our cars, we have iPhones with Map applications to help us find anything anytime, keep us from getting lost, etc.

This technology continues to be utilized for larger purposes that we never even think about.  Here’s one example I discovered today.   A company called Network Fleet, whose mission and purpose is wireless vehicle management, has just today launched their new satellite maps.  For fleets.  They have implemented 3D satellite mapping systems to be used with entire fleets of vehicles. Here’s the press release.

What does this mean?  Well, if you run a Taxi company or Limousine service, for example, you can track and locate any of your cars at any time.  You can help your drivers with routes and locations, saving wasted gas and time.  And the system stores all data for those times when you’re driving in a place with no 3G satellite reception.  So unlike your iPhone, you can still use the stored data even when you’re not getting reception.

Just one more example of how satellite map technology is making this world a cooler and better place.
