Have you ever marvelled at the clockwork like deliveries of our daily loaf of breads or the beef patties to our favourite burger stalls? They mostly arrive at the same time each morning, dropping off the breads all over the places.
I guess large companies like those have their own fleet of trucks that are equipped with vehicle tracking. This way, they can take care of their logistics and inventories.
However, nowadays, a lot of people are also into vehicle tracking because this is easily done. Some may do it for the right reasons and some may abuse it for their own purposes. Well, I personally do not think it is right to track someone’s vehicle without the person’s knowledge, e.g. a suspicious spouse tracking the other half’s movement. But then, hey, it is wickedly fun too, isn’t it?
With the convenience of the modern GPS tracking, one can discreetly insert a small, pocket sized device that receives signals from the twenty-four Department of Defense GPS satellites orbiting the earth. And from there, the other party can track the movement of the vehicle by Data Can be downloaded and view in Google Earth simply by plugging the Tracking Key into the USB port of a computer.
So, now that you know how easy it is for vehicle tracking, do you have any ideas how to make use of this facility? I am sure it helps companies to track their fleet of vehicles or the police in investigation and such. But never abuse it, ok?
