Best GPS Tracking Companies

We've taken our time to research the Best GPS Tracking Companies for you, the consumer. Hi-tech does not have to be confusing. That is what separates the best from the lackluster. What good is having a GPS tracking device installed on your valuable asset(s) if it doesn't work? We've researched and discovered our Top 3 GPS Tracking Companies. And they are:

Rocky Mountain Tracking, Inc. - Fort Collins, CO

Since 2003 Rocky Mountain Tracking has been selling and servicing their GPS tracking devices worldwide. They are equally revered by government and law enforcement agencies as well as individuals and fleet management corporations. They come highly recommended for their Smart Tracker, which is a tracking device commonly used for theft recovery. We found that the advantage they have over other GPS tracking companies is there are no monthly fees and you simply activate on-demand when you need to track the vehicle. This is a great solution to the cost conscious consumer in today's economy.

They also offer another model called the Informer Lite that appears to be a very comprehensive device on the market. It will give you information based upon ignition starts and stops, speeds, idle times (employees wasting fuel sitting in air conditioned company trucks?), extensive colorful mapping software - you name it - it is very complete. What puts Rocky Mountain Tracking among the top three companies to offer the best gps tracking devices is that they have invested money in their 'back end' - the web-based user software called NavIQ. For the consumer this is very important because you can access the tracking software at any time (24/7) and quickly see where your vehicle is located. In talking with customer service, there was not one question they could not answer and if I did have to leave a message for tech support, my call was returned within the hour. Their tracking devices start at $175, but they do offer volume discounts. Visit them at http://www.RMTracking.com

LandAirSea Systems - Woodstock, IL

LandAirSea has been in the GPS tracking business since 1994 and has evolved to be one of our top three picks in the GPS tracking category. Their devices are numerous and varied. Looking for a small compact device? Try their Tracking Key GPS unit that is small, affordable and water resistant! It is a passive device that can locate within 2.5 meters and records movement every second. To access the tracking data, simply plug the device into your USB port and the tracking history will download within seconds. That is pretty cool for a small device that uses 2 AAA batteries and can fit in a tissue box in my car. If my teenagers only knew about the uses I am thinking of for this particular GPS tracker.

LandAirSea provides amazing technology that is backed by their world-class service and support in Illinois. Another unit that is very popular is their Tracking Key Pro device. The GPS tracking history can be displayed over animated street maps, satellite images or in a text reports. The data recorded can accurately display:

Our researchers concluded that LandAirSea offers the best passive tracking device compared to other passive tracking devices on the market. Their prices start at $199. They have glowing reviews on their site - you should stop by to see them here at http://www.LandAirSea.com

LoJack - Westwood, MA

LoJack has been around for quite some time and their brand is a household name. It is usually the name synonymous with finding stolen vehicles. LoJack told us their technology is not GPS, but instead it uses a radio type frequency transmission. Their staff was very knowledge about their product, and they replied to our email within about one business day. What we liked most about LoJack is that they have a presence in most car dealerships. Just ask your local car dealer if you can have a LoJack installed, and usually they will even install it for you.

We also liked that LoJack detectors are in some police cars that can help locate a stolen vehicle. Unfortunately, only a small percentage of police agencies have LoJack detectors. The primary difference we found between LoJack and other companies is that with LoJack, you have to contact a third party to help locate your vehicle. We found the price for a LoJack device was about $695. Visit LoJack at http://www.lojack.com

for once, someone has put together a helpful guide to find a good gps tracking company. the problem with most of the gps companies you will find on the internet is that they are just resellers. in fact, half of the companies on the first page of google don't even sell their own software or make their own hardware. they resell from other companies. how will they support me if they don't even have direct access to the proper equipment, such as, servers, source code, etc. to resolve the issue? be careful buying from a company that sells everything else too, such as, spy equipment. if they sell all types of spy equipment, they are not true experts in gps. my advice is to only buy gps from a company that owns the software. i am familar with the first two companies in this list and i would recommend them.
