GPS Vehicle Tracking System Saves $120,000 For Busy Produce Distributor
Salisbury, MD (PRWEB) June 16, 2008 -- Jorge Vazquez of Houston's Latin Specialties (http://www.latinspecialties.com/) did his research and knew that a GPS vehicle tracking system would make his specialty food service business more productive. However, he never thought he would need to use the service to stop the theft of one of his trucks -- in the middle of a delivery, and in broad daylight.
Mr. Vazquez's story was told to Navtrak (http://www.navtrak.net), his GPS vehicle tracking service provider, just after the incident.
"On April 28th, one of our trucks was stolen while making a delivery in a supermarket," reports Mr. Vazquez. "Thanks to the Navtrak GPS system and the prompt help of their customer service department, we were able to track the truck down and relay its real-time position to the Houston Police department. The thief was apprehended, our vehicle recovered (upwards of $100,000 in cost) and our cargo salvaged (another $15-20,000 in cost) - all within an hour of it being stolen. The most rewarding thing, however, was the feeling of being able to fight back and not just be another defenseless 'victim'."
John Lovell, Editor of Navtrak's enewsletter, "GPS Tracking Insights & Info," where Mr. Vazquez's story originally appeared, adds, "We thought this was a powerful reinforcement of the message delivered in the enewsletter: namely, that GPS tracking provides a simple and effective way to not only protect your reputation and your people (http://www.navtrak.net/pressreleases/redirect.cfm?leadID=22&cID=SSR), but to save you significant money by enabling the recovery of assets stolen in the field."
Mr. Vazquez adds, "According to the HPD, there had being a rash of delivery truck vehicle robberies at that particular location, and thanks to the Navtrak GPS tracking system, we were the only business that was able to recover its stolen property."

Farming with GPS
Ever since I have been able to use Garmin GPS I can now grow crops more effectively than before. You might wonder to yourself How can some Podunk farmer grow better with GPS? Well, first of all, were not all like that, and secondly the trick is how you manage it on your land. With my Garmin GPS mapping and my tractors and planters using it I can fit more crop onto one field than ever before, by making precision decision, as I say. First of all lets say you have yourself a nice mapped out chunk of land that is the shape of a square, and it is a total of 10 acres of land. Well, the old way was planting by eye, or trying to drive in a straight line for reference lines and then doing it. Of course there was nothing really wrong with th...
The Science Behind Portable GPS Systems And How You Can Use Them Too!
The GPS or Global Positioning System is a "constellation" of 24 well-spaced satellites that orbit the Earth and make it possible for people with ground receivers to pinpoint their geographic location. The location accuracy is anywhere from 100 to 10 meters for most equipment. Accuracy can be pinpointed to within one (1) meter with special military-approved equipment. GPS equipment is widely used in science and has now become sufficiently low-cost so that almost anyone can own a GPS receiver.
