We do not need such a system because we trust our people:

GPS systems are not for monitoring people. For instance, moms and dads say that they need not have a GPS child tracker because they trust their child and have brought him up with good character. But, the fact is that it is not about disbelief, but it is all about reducing inefficiency. Also, it is about providing safety to the kid from getting caught in some unscrupulous hands. It is about knowing the whereabouts of the kid.
 

 

Drivers will quit if there is system in place:

Some vehicle owners, who operate their vehicles with drivers, think that when there are vehicle tracking systems in the vehicles, the drivers will quit the job or there are chances that it will be difficult to find reliable drivers. But, the fact is the once a driver gets used to such a system, he will rely on it for finding routes easily. In addition, the vehicle tracking systems will provide complete safety to the drivers and it will also eradicate a whole lot of paperworks for the drivers as well.

Complex to install and use:

Some people object auto tracking system, just because they believe that it is complicated to install and it is also believed that only people with technical knowledge can use it. However, the fact is that most of these units have some fundamental components like GPS receiver, user interface that showcases information gathered. In addition, it is not that only technical people can install and use it, even a layman can do it with the appropriate user guide once understood.

Such a system is not essential:

Most people think that I can keep track of my vehicle just with my mobile phone and there is no need for a GPS unit. But, the fact is that mobile phones/handheld devices cannot provide details useful for fleet managers. But, an auto tracking system can do it in an effective manner.

So, get out of the myths and readily invest in a GPS child tracker or other units for your benefit.
