Ash Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Hi All,I am going to be bringing some GPS trackers with me to London.I have 5 units in total and one is already fitted to Phils Spitfire.The four units left are available if anyone wants me to install one, they are very easy to fit and wont make any difference to your car.I have set up a username and account that people can access and see how we are progressing, it has live tracking, reg number, speed and at the end you will be able to replay the whole route with exact mileage data.Basically watch the cars live on a map, then when we are done replay and retrieve all data, stops, start, driving time, idling time etc etc.This is all courtesy of one of my customers who has kindly lent me the tracking units and is paying for the GPRS data, we will incure no costs.So if anyone wants one give me a PM or shout at the Plough tommorow and ill fit it and set it up.Would be good to fit these to various different vehicles and see how everyone progresses etc, get some good data from them.Thanks,Ash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thescrapman Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Ash, if there is one left it could be very interesting!We still have a couple of sockets left on teh multi-way cigarette lighter thingy.CheersColin(Grey Mk1 2000, with a bent drivers door) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Colin,I've been playing with the management software on the internet, and I get the feeling that the whole thing is a bit more complicated than a simple plug into a 12V socket thing. If I was running a transport business, I think I'd want my trucks equipped with this gear.Send Ash a PM - according to the management interface, he still has one left to allocate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark spit Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 i there,Here is the info you'll need from the email Ash sent me.I have negotiated with one of my customers to install a GPS tracking device to Phil’s car so if you want you can watch us on our journey and see how we are getting on! It’s a fantastic piece of software and you need to download a small program from here:-http://www.globallive.co.uk/setup_now.exePop in the user: blisscharityPop in the pass: admin You will see 5 vehicles, im going to see if I can fit anymore units to other cars. At least one of them will be live on Phils Spitfire, click on it and watch us go! If you play around with the historical reports you will be able to track where we have been so far.

TR Tony Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Hey that is brilliant! Who is stationary in a Vitesse in Cumbia at the moment - presumably taking a well deserved rest if they have got that far?Talk about big brother is watching you.

SteveJP Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Team 54 is Jason Chinn in his fuel injected Vitesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJP Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 This global positioning software is great fun, I like the way you can look at each cars details and what speed they've been doing - Sad or what?Not sure wahats happened to Mr Chinn - it looks like either his GPS system is not working or he's resting/broken down. How come he's so far ahead of the others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitty71 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 The Vitesse never started, that tracker is sat in Ash's house unused. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicky Blighter Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Brilliant bit of software but a bit 'Big Brother' go to reports, run an exception report then add up the number of 'over speed' multiply by £80 and 3 points and you could pay off the national debt and take every driver in the country off the road!
