Imagine yourself waking up and you find yourself inside your car in the middle of a wasteland. Maybe you’ve driven yourself aimlessly the night before and you didn’t realize you were off the course driving farther away from city limits. You took out your cell phone but you still couldn’t get a decent signal to call for help. Although you do have a map tucked in your leather padfolios, it seemed worthless because you do not know your exact location. So yo it seemed worthless because you do not know your exact location. So you looked around and you cringed at the only life forms around — a few birds and geckos that straddle across the arid soil. You could scream but no one could possibly hear you. Or you could use the GPS vehicle tracking system and find yourself on your way home. Too bad, you did not have that GPS vehicle tracking system installed in your car.

You’ll never know when you’ll be trapped in the similar situation as above, especially when you’re always driving in places you barely know. This is why opting to have a GPS vehicle tracking system installed in your car will save you from that nightmare of being lost in the wilderness. To be guided in choosing the right GPS vehicle tracking system, here are 7 essential tips you have to keep in mind:

1) Choose the Right System For You. Basically, four major types of GPS vehicle tracking systems you can choose from. These are the car navigation GPS system, the portable outdoors GPS unit, the marine GPS system, and the PDA/GPS hybrid. Overall, you could find the in-car GPS navigation system the most useful when you want to know your exact location when you’re driving without a map.

gpstrack — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 09:14:26 +0000

You know your dog found something - but just where is your dog? Wonder no longer with the Garmin Astro 220 GPS-Based Canine Tracking System. Simply attach the included DC 20 collar and you can see your dog’s progress on screen. You don’t need anything else - the Astro 220 even functions as a full-featured GPS receiver like the GPSMAP 60CSx , and lets you add MapSource detail for roads and trails. Not sure what maps you need? Check out our Garmin Software Guide (click here). Leave the hunting to your dog. Tired of searching for your hunting dog in tall grass or dense cover? Now you can leave the hunting entirely to him. Introducing Astro, the first high sensitivity GPS-enabled dog tracking system for hunters and sportsmen. This unique system pinpoints your dog’s position and shows you exactly where he is, even when you can’t see or hear him. Attach Collar and Go The Astro system includes a bright color-screen handheld GPS device and a wireless transmitter, called the DC 20. To get started, just take Astro outdoors and turn on the handheld and transmitter to acquire GPS satellite signals. Then attach the DC 20 to your dog, either with the included neoprene harness or by threading it onto an existing 1-inch e-collar. Now you’re ready to turn him loose - no other setup required. Track Dogs in Dense Cover As often as every five seconds, your dog’s DC 20 transmits his position to your handheld, and you can see his current location and a trail of where he’s been on the Map page of your handheld. Switch over to the Dog Tracker page to view a compass pointing to your dog’s location as well as his current status: whether he’s running, sitting, on point or treeing quarry. Astro can also sound an alarm to let you know instantly when your dog goes on point. Astro boasts a high-sensitivity GPS receiver that can track your dog’s position even in the densest cover. You can track up to ten dogs at one time with Astro, at a distance of up to five miles away (depending on terrain).
