Full Version: GPS tracking of groomers
Hi,
I have been looking for a way to find, via my PC and the internet, the track of the grooming unit that I look after, or at the very least its current location.
Has anyone found a reasonably priced solution? I have searched the web, there are options, but are rather costly with monthly fees for continuing service. Maybe this is the only way?
It would be nice if I could simply place a GPS in the unit and track that one unit without paying an arm and a leg
Take right now for instance........ I know that our groomer was out last night, left at 6pm and has at least a 10 hour run to do as planned. The operator has not checked in and is not in phone contact. There is no major water to cross and we are never more than a mile from a road, but I still do not know if the unit is stuck a swamp, broke down or resting as expected at our maintenance shop. A quick GPS locate would tell me this real quick and ease my mind.
