Yet, despite its prevalence there are still some misconceptions surrounding its use especially among companies that are considering using it to track and control the movement of their fleets. While we can understand that business leaders must be cautious before using any technology that promises to affect is bottom line in such a profound way, we can assure them that GPS technology is the way to go.

• GPS tracking is an unproven technology: As we stated in the beginning of this post, GPS technology is everywhere these days. For decades now GPS has used real-time satellites and wireless communications to provide accurate information about the location of many objects.
• GPS only works in urban locations: Indeed, remote locations are where GPS can really shine as the signal tends to be stronger here. Moreover, it is often more challenging to navigate on your own where there are fewer aids such as landmarks and street signs.
• GPS tracking doesn’t make sense for a small company: Whether your company is small or large it can benefit from GPS tracking. If your company uses multiple vehicles to do its business, you need the data and tracking that GPS provides.
