One of the primary drivers of GPS tracking growth is the smartphone industry. Users are now able to access location-based apps such as maps, ride-sharing, and geotagging, all because almost every smartphone is equipped with GPS capabilities. Wearable technology, whose prominence as an industry became possible due to the smartphone industry, has also played a considerable role in the spread of GPS technology. Fitness trackers and smartwatches are incredibly popular gadgets because of their potential to track physical activity and give access to instant location data. The integration of GPS technology with personal gadgets has also led to progress in emergency response systems, which helps with accurately tracking individuals in distress. Along with it, the technology has become a crucial tool for search and rescue operations, which has greatly improved the response time and saved lives that could have otherwise not been saved.

GPS tracking technology has become a vital component of modern transportation systems. It works by using the Global Positioning System (GPS) to precisely determine the direction, location, and speed of moving vehicles. The system was initially designed by the Department of Defence in the United States, and the United States Navy carried out the first experiment. With the ending of the Cold War, GPS technology has been made available for civil use and has found its utility in smartphones, navigation systems, and tracking devices.

If you are one of those people who has worked with transport and fleet management for a few decades already, this would probably sound nostalgic. For our younger colleagues, this post would likely be on a scale with a Discovery Channel program about the “older days”. The evolution of distribution network support through route and delivery optimization has been remarkable. Just a few decades ago, capabilities were so severely limited, yet fleet managers were still managing to do the job. And now we’ve moved to the telematics era – where, from the old-school point of view, possibilities are almost endless. Actually, this rapid transition has been so swift that some companies are still trying to catch up with the current technology and searching for that competitive edge.
