GPS Tracking – Live Tracking for Vehicles, Machinery and Fleets
GPS tracking is the most reliable method for monitoring vehicles, machinery and valuables in real time. The GPS tracking system from Jumbo Ortung delivers the exact location of your vehicles via the Horizont Online Portal at any time – accurate to 2 metres, around the clock, with no long-term contract.
What Is a GPS Tracking Device?
A GPS tracking device is a compact unit – smaller than a cigarette packet – that uses satellite signals to determine the exact position of a vehicle or object and transmits this data in real time via the mobile network. It is either permanently installed in the vehicle (hard-wired) or used as a plug-in via the OBD-II diagnostic port.
The device receives GPS satellite signals, calculates the exact location and sends this information every 2 seconds to the Horizont Online Portal. From there, the location is accessible at any time via browser or smartphone app.
Suitable Vehicles and Machinery
The Jumbo Ortung GPS tracking system can be used in virtually any vehicle or machine:
- Cars and vans
- Trucks and articulated lorries
- Motorhomes and camper vans
- Agricultural machinery and tractors
- Construction machinery and excavators
- Motorcycles and bicycles
- Yachts, boats and ships
Key Features of GPS Tracking
Live Vehicle Tracking
All vehicles are displayed on a shared map in real time – with position updates every 2 seconds, including speed, direction of travel and ignition status. At a glance, you can see where every vehicle is, whether it is moving or stationary and how long it has been at any given location.
18-Month Data Archiving
All driven routes are recorded in full and retrievable for up to 18 months. Detour analysis, fuel consumption evaluation and route comparisons are possible at any time. All data can be printed and processed with other programmes.
Automatic Logbook
The logbook is maintained automatically and tamper-proof. Every trip is recorded with date, time, start and end address. The integrated driver recognition feature assigns each trip clearly to a specific driver. The logbook is compliant with tax authority requirements and printable at the click of a button.
Theft Protection and Alert Notifications
- Movement alert – notification if a vehicle moves outside registered operating hours
- Geofencing – alert when a vehicle enters or leaves a defined zone
