A second round of research by the Kiawah Conservancy, located in Kiawah Island of South Carolina, is using GPS tracking technology to monitor 35-bobcats in the area. The data gained from the study will
provide critical information on the bobcats’ habitat area, and create a virtual boundary for preserving it .The GPS tracking systems helps builders on the island to avoid building over the habitats of the native species.
Wildlife preservationists feel the GPS tracking program is important, because human development on the island has already resulted in the deaths of 2 bobcats, both struck by cars.

We’ve often blogged about the use of GPS trackers for municipalities, including GPS tracking for school districts and police departments. Here’s another story from Bergen County, NJ that provides an excellent example of how cities and towns are using GPS tracking systems to cut costs and increase efficiency.
In August, the county implemented the use of 100 GPS tracking systems in county vehicles and is considering the installation of 100 more. Since the county police department had previously installed GPS tracking units, the new GPS trackers were spread among multiple county departments, including the public works and parks departments.
County officials cite that they are pleased with the results of the GPS trackers, reporting that the GPS tracking units save time, and result in greater employee attention while driving a county vehicle.

According to the Detroit Free Press, GPS tracking technology for tracking airplanes, could soon be available if government funding and the approval of the FAA come through.
With a concept easily comparable to fleet tracking, GPS tracking systems for aircraft would allow pilots to fly directly to their destinations rather than using the current practice of indirect routes which are dependent upon the ability to communicate with ground stations.
GPS tracking systems will also allow pilots to see their own locations as well as the locations of other planes in the area. Precision GPS technology will allow planes to fly closer together. In addition, it is anticipated that GPS tracking installed on aircrafts will result in fuel conservation due to the fact that pilots will have the technology necessary to glide directly on to the runway while idling, rather than using the current procedure of stair step descents which consume considerable amounts of fuel.
GPS tracking for aircraft may be delayed due to lack of funding and the FAA approval process. Some fear that a prolonged delay would negatively affect the United States’ lead role in high tech aviation development around the world.

Here’s a great GPS news story from Australia:
A man monitoring his excavator via GPS tracking software recently watched in real-time as a thief towed away the costly piece of machinery which he had equipped with a GPS tracking device . During a trek of more than 30-miles, the GPS tracking software indicated the speed and location of the excavator as it was hauled by the tow truck. After monitoring the entire episode via real time GPS tracking on his computer, the owner of the excavator called local authorities and told them exactly where to intercept the suspect as he continued to tow the excavator. The suspect was taken into custody and the excavator was recovered without damage.
The above story is a great example of GPS tracking solutions at work for business owners. Without the GPS tracking system installed on the excavator, and the sophistication of GPS tracking software, its possible the excavator might not have been recovered, resulting in considerable loss.

Businesses and organizations of every type and size use GPS tracking systems everyday. Here are a few of the most common industries using GPS trackers to improve the way they do business.
Law Enforcement and Private Investigators: GPS tracking for law enforcement and private investigations provides a cost-effective method of vehicle tracking without the need for around-the-clock human surveilance. GPS tracking systems with motion sensors alert law enforcement officers and private investigators when a target vehicle moves. Using GPS tracking software, agencies have the capability to follow the tracked vehicle with great accuracy.
Construction Companies: With both heavy equipment, and expensive items such as air conditioners, appliances, and more at stake, construction companies use GPS tracking devices to protect the costly items they store on construction sites. GPS trackers can be placed on items such as dump trucks and bulldozers, as well as central air conditioning units and refrigerators. In the event of theft, these items are much more likely to be quickly recovered. In some cases, insurance companies offer premium discounts for items equipped with GPS.
Home Services: Business which provide in-home services, such as medical supply companies, contractors, plumbers, HVAC companies, and more often use GPS tracking devices for fleet tracking. With GPS tracking software, fleet managers have the ability to determine efficient routes, and know exactly where every vehicle is at any time of day.
Did you know that GPS tracking technology, particularly fleet tracking, can help make your business a greener business? It’s true, GPS tracking is an excellent way to make your business a greener business. Here’s how:
Reduced Fuel Consumption: GPS tracking allows you to reduce fuel consumption (and costs) through efficiency and reduced driving speeds. With GPS tracking software, business owners can easily determine the most efficient routes of travel for their drivers, determine which vehicle is in the best position to respond to service calls, and monitor employees’ driving speeds. Reduced fuel consumption equals a reduced carbon emission which means a reduced carbon footprint for your business.
Reduce Your Paper Trail: GPS tracking systems can help you achieve a paperless office through the automated reporting options offered with GPS tracking software. From automated mileage reports, service logs, and attendance monitoring, GPS tracking systems allow you to operate your business efficiently and effectively while reducing the amount of paper required.

Covert GPS Trackers are a Cost-Effective Tool for Law Enforcement
Covert GPS tracking for law enforcement and private investigators has proven time after time to be a money and time saver for police departments and private investigations companies around the world. This post will provide you with more information on how GPS tracking is a helpful, smart investment for law enforcement agencies.
How are Covert GPS Tracking Units Used by Law Enforcement and Private Investigators?
Perhaps the most common use for GPS trackers in law enforcement is covert vehicle tracking. This entails undetectably equipping a vehicle with a GPS tracking device. Often the vehicle belongs to a suspect in a crime, or is a bait vehicle designed to catch car thieves.
In addition, law enforcement agencies often use covert GPS tracking devices to track large shipments of electronics or other valuable items at risk for theft. With a small covert GPS tracker tucked into a single box within a shipment, authorities have the ability to track the shipment, and be aware of its location at all times.
How Covert Tracking Saves Money for Law Enforcement Agencies
The most significant fiscal advantage of covert GPS tracking for law enforcement is that it reduces the amount of human resources necessary to complete an operation. For example, officers may no longer be required to spend an entire shift “staking out” a vehicle to locate a suspect, or waiting on a car thief to to make his move on a bait car. Instead, officers are now able to increase patrol time, and meet other obligations, because they rely on covert GPS tracking systems and GPS tracking software to alert them only when the tracked vehicle changes locations. Then, using the software, officers can immediately begin tracking the location of the vehicle, its speed, and direction of travel.
