FLEET FAQ
GENERAL
How accurate is your tracking?
Our GPS tracking system is designed to provide high levels of accuracy in location data. In optimal conditions, the tracking accuracy can be within a few metres. However, it's important to understand that the accuracy can be influenced by several factors:
- Satellite Coverage: The number and positioning of satellites in the area can impact tracking accuracy. In areas with limited satellite visibility, such as dense urban environments or deep valleys, the accuracy may temporarily decrease.
- Atmospheric Conditions: Weather conditions like heavy cloud cover or solar flares can potentially affect the GPS signals and lead to slight variations in accuracy.
- Obstructions: Buildings, trees, and other obstructions can block or reflect GPS signals, resulting in reduced tracking accuracy, especially in urban or densely wooded areas.
To enhance accuracy, we recommend installing the GPS tracking devices in locations that offer the best possible satellite reception and regularly maintaining the devices to ensure optimal performance.
Despite these potential limitations, our GPS tracking system utilises advanced technology and algorithms to minimise errors and provide reliable location data. Additionally, we regularly update our systems and work to improve accuracy wherever possible. We also employ Location-Based Service (LBS) technology to improve the accuracy for our customer.
