What does low cost GPS Tracking really mean?
by Henry Rosen
GPS, Products, Bidness January 30th, 2008To many customers, who are buying just one or two GPS units, the answer to that question is pretty simple: they just want to know how much for the hardware, installation and service. But when you start dealing with small fleets, the answer gets a little more complicated. The one-time costs aren’t always telling the whole picture. The ones who have had systems in the past know how to ask good questions, like: how easy is it to make changes to our system? can we customize it ourselves? can we add users and change vehicle names ourselves? Lots of so-called low cost GPS tracking systems are really not so low cost because they are so hard to use - and they require going to the vendor for even little changes. So fleet buyers should be sure to consider ease of use in the total cost equation.
