Web Portal Locates Just About Anything Anywhere

March 17, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
A new web portal has been designed to allow just about anything to be tracked by anyone. GPSPursuit Inc. (www.gpspursuit.com) has developed a web application that will work with the many modern GPS systems available. The portal makes tracking people, things or vehicles a snap whether at home or the office.

Unlike the traditional software approach that can only be used on some computers and then only with one particular type of unit, the application can be used wherever a computer is attached to the internet and with multiple systems. Said Don Weaver, president and CEO, “Our Company focused on the end users who needed a simple method of viewing assets with a variety of GPS systems We were aware of several software applications out in the market. The problem was that end users needed something that was inexpensive, did not need to be regularly upgraded or maintained and that worked with multiple GPS systems”. Furthered Weaver, “We were cognizant that end users had different needs when it came to the GPS systems as well as the application that connected to those systems. Some GPS systems are designed to military specks and are more expensive. Others are more plug-and-play for quick and easy installation. The end result was that we needed a web portal that would work with both the demanding customer that needed a lot of information as well as the customer that only needed to know when an event occurred. As well, we needed the application to know who was coming to the portal, what system or systems they were using and what kind of navigation system would the application present based on the GPS units they were using”.

The web portal serves both the average home users who just want to track a son or daughter as well as the business person who need it to know where his/her assets are to help deploy the nearest driver. With integrated mapping as well as the google earth mapping, users can know where the vehicle is, what direction it is going and at what speed it is traveling. It can even inform someone who needs to know events such as speeding or leaving a certain area by sending an SMS message to their cell phone.

“The great thing about this portal”, said Weaver, “is that it is continually being revised and improved with more features, more GPS systems, more mapping services and more communications protocols. All this and the end-user just needs a browser and an Internet connection to get the latest updates automatically.
