Vehicle tracking and iPhone Apps

For effective vehicle tracking, did anyone ever believe that a mobile phone could play such a large part in customer usability? iPhone did, and their innovative range of applications from their apps store has created a phone with a set of software that grows on a daily basis. What this has to do with tracking of your car, is that Navman Wireless, a UK-based vehicle tracking firm company, have released their very own iPhone App - effectively putting power back into the hands of the drivers themselves, no matter where they are. With this application, it is possible to manage your entire fleet from the palm of your hand.

Drivers can be tracked from any destination, thanks to this highly powerful software system developed by Navman and based on their OnlineAVL2. The company is hoping to capitalise on the massive base of iPhone users, and of those who cannot spend great lengths of time behind their computer screen. As a matter of fact, this is what the managing director of Navman Wireless UK, Tony Neill states, 'To date, many vehicle tracking users have been unable to take full advantage of their systems as they can’t always be at their office computer. This app will give customers total freedom to control their mobile workforce regardless of where they are, and could revolutionise the way some companies manage their fleets as a consequence.'

Seamless integration into the user's phone ensures that standard GSM features such as instant messaging is taken full advantage of. Notifications (set by the user) can inform where a vehicle is and of how long it will still take to reach its destination. Managers will also be able to easily communicate to their drivers via push emails much like the BlackBerry service. This is GPS real time tracking at its finest.

Tony continues by saying that, 'The rapid advancement and popularity of smartphones has opened the door to many exciting possibilities for the vehicle tracking industry. This new development represents a natural evolution for vehicle tracking and is part of our ongoing commitment to investment into new mobile technologies.' A pantheon of vehicle tracking options via your smart phone; this is Navman UK’s promise.
