Vehicle tracking systems can be used to monitor all sorts of assets, including heavy equipment. Although features such as real-time mapping, landmarks, and time tracking are essential components of good vehicle tracking systems, if you want to keep an eye on heavy equipment, there are some other features you need to make sure you have.
Fleet GPS is an excellent solution in many situations, but some businesses require a different type of coverage or the ability to track assets using satellites.
