A review of the features and potential of GPS Tracking Systems
The Online GPS Fleet Maintenance Report Tool holds the key to getting the most from any GPS Fleet Management System you select. We found huge usability differences among the systems we looked at before we selected the Hawk GPS tracking equipmentc GPS Fleet Routing & Dispatch service.
Like most systems, we still see great GPS tracking equipment that is over-priced or the online management lacks a usable interface. Better priced hardware suffers from slow or un-usable tracking software and some of the feature rich management programs are overkill. Besides complicating the installation and driving up costs.
Our recommended Hawk Affordable GPS Fleet Management, Heavy Equipment and Asset Tracking Systems from tekniaMICRO GPS tracking unit is easy to install and usually takes less than an hour.
Note: We see problems with disabling a vehicle after it stops. A remote shut-off feature (after engine shut-off) is desirable for...

I’ve been looking for a way to get my field personnel under control. It’s not that they’re dishonest, it’s that sometimes they take advantage because there’s nothing keeping them honest. I’m bound ethically to do what I tell my customers we’ll do; our billing must reflect exactly the hours we worked on each project.
Fudging time won’t keep us competitive…
Side work using my trucks, materials and equipment has to stop…
Our PR goes out the window when company trucks are parked at the bar…
Don’t get me started on drinking on company time and Workman’s Comp Insurance…
I’m positive a GPS Fleet Management System will pay for itself the first month;…keeping it in place will help keep the wheels on my company.
A huge investment took place getting this company rolling. Lots of time, effort, money and sacrifice. I owe it to myself, my family, my ‘guys’ and my customers to manage this...

Professional installation usually takes less than an hour and we’ve been quoted installation costs of about $50 here in the Denver Metro area.My self install took about 20 minutes. I got power from the diagnostic pluggin (on most domestic cars and trucks built since 1998); taped the antenna the dash and routed the wires out of sight. The Garmin Personal Navigation unit is located mid-dash with a Bracketron vent mount. Available soon from shop teknia micro
After I plugged it in, the Garmin Nuvi 265WT unit showed it’s present location within 1 minute. (a minute faster for initial unit location than last generation GPS units) Works great with the least expensive consumer Garmin PND, the Nuvi 205 & 205W.
One check of our online tech diagnostic tool showed the unit up & running with fleet management, dispatch & routing capabilities. I logged into my account and had a locate within a minute. WOW!
Google maps are sweet! The hybrid view placed my truck in the exact...

Until now, consumers have been limited to over-priced “theft recovery-only†systems that utilize outdated radio-frequency technology, this requires local law enforcement agencies and vehicles to be equipped with specific hardware to track stolen vehicles.
We carry an entirely new class of vehicle security system that combines advanced GPS technology and a global digital wireless network with real-time tracking on the Internet.

GPS stands for global positioning satellite and was a location and tracking system developed by and for the military and released for public use a few years ago. The GPS system is made up of a network of 24 satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military applications, but in the 1980s, the government made the system available for civilian use. GPS is extremely accurate; In most cases within 50 feet. GPS works in all weather conditions, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day. Our systems are setup for North America.
