GPS Vehicle Tracking – Modern Technology for Precise Location Determination

GPS Vehicle Tracking – Modern Technology for Precise Location Determination

GPS vehicle tracking is an advanced technology that makes it possible to determine the location of a vehicle in real time. It is increasingly used by businesses and private individuals to improve the safety and efficiency of their vehicles – whether for a single car or an entire fleet.


How It Works

GPS vehicle tracking uses satellite signals to determine the exact position of a vehicle. A GPS receiver in the vehicle receives these signals and calculates the geographic coordinates. This data is transmitted to the Horizont Online Portal, where it can be monitored in real time – tracking updates every 2 seconds, ensuring that data is always current and up to date.


Suitable for Which Vehicles?

Jumbo Ortung GPS tracking devices are suitable for all common vehicle types:

  • Cars and vans
  • Trucks and articulated lorries
  • Motorcycles
  • Tractors and agricultural machinery
  • Motorhomes and campers
  • Boats, yachts and ships

Using your personal login credentials, you can log into the portal at any time and immediately see where your vehicles are and which routes have been covered.


Benefits of GPS Vehicle Tracking

Real-Time Monitoring

Keep track of the location of every vehicle at any time and from anywhere – particularly valuable for fleet management and logistics companies that depend on on-time deliveries.

Enhanced Security and Theft Protection

In the event of theft, the vehicle can be located quickly. With the integrated theft protection, you may not always be able to prevent the theft, but you can react immediately and pass the exact location on to the police.

Efficiency and Route Optimisation

Through seamless monitoring of vehicle movements, companies can optimise routes, reduce fuel consumption and increase productivity. Unnecessary trips become visible and can be eliminated for future tours.

Logbook, Reports and Archiving

Integrated in the system: electronic logbook, daily reports, monthly reports and 18 months of data archiving. All records of routes and times simplify bookkeeping and provide audit-proof documentation for tax purposes and operational analyses.


Use Cases

Logistics and Transport

Delivery fleets can be managed efficiently – punctual arrivals can be planned and deviations identified immediately.

Service Companies

Companies with field service staff can monitor locations and working times to ensure better customer service and transparent working time documentation.

Private Vehicles

Private individuals benefit too: enhanced security, theft protection and the ability to react immediately in an emergency.


Data Protection and Security

Modern GPS systems offer encryption and data protection solutions that ensure the security of transmitted and stored data. Access to the portal is only possible with personal login credentials – unauthorised use is therefore ruled out.


No Long-Term Contract

At Jumbo Ortung, you are not tied to a long-term contract. The system can be cancelled at any time with 3 months' notice to the end of the month. Additionally, you can test GPS vehicle tracking free of charge and without obligation for 30 days before making a decision.
