GPS vehicle tracking was initially developed for the use of surveillance by the military in the US. Its abilities were then made available to the public.
Over the past few decades GPS vehicle tracking systems have evolved into incredibly advanced tools and now provide more information, features, and real-time tracking, which benefits individuals in the tracking of their vehicles. For instance, fleet operators can now retrieve detailed vehicle reports which include fuel and oil consumption, distances travelled, routes taken, driver’s behaviour such as: harsh braking, harsh acceleration, speeding and parked times. Stolen car tracking systems also assist fleet managers in planning driver's routes more efficiently, thereby allowing them to speed up delivery times and also save on running costs. A GPS vehicle tracking user can also set up extra specific no-go zones over and above the GPS provider’s settings, to ensure that their vehicles do not go off course.
