GPS devices

Global positioning service depends on a network of satellites that communicate with a receiver. It compares relative distances from three or more satellites and can help determine its position anywhere on the planet.

The 31 GPS satellites in orbit are all healthy and were launched by the US federal government between the years 1990 and 2010. The system was developed and put into practice at a high price paid for by the American taxpayers.

Time magazine reported that the GPS systems were installed for more than $12 billion, making the annual cost of operation around $750 million or $2 million per day. So if you’re a taxpayer, it is likely that you are already footing the bill for GPS systems, so you owe it to yourself to have a return investment.

The best GPS trackers

Indeed, GPS benefits waste and recycling industry, and the best trackers for it should be all of the following:

  • Accurate—due to its nature, GPS trackers are useless if not accurate. More than that, however, it should also work in all locations and for all weather conditions.
  • Robust—a tracker installed on a commercial vehicle  should be tough and reliable so that it won’t break down in the middle of its job.
  • Discreet—small and concealed is the key. If thieves can spot your tracker from afar, they can remove it or figure out ways of doing so, rendering your system useless.
  • Inexpensive—an expensive GPS tracker would be too valuable to lose, but if you can get one that is inexpensive yet effective, then you know you have a steal.

Good software
