The Advantages and Disadvantages of Technology

Smartphones may be useful in connecting with friends and loved ones through messages, voice calls, and social network. It may have features helpful in our daily tasks and GPS is one of them—but it is still just a phone. GPS on the phone is not really accurate in giving directions and locations.

If it suddenly runs low while you’re on the way to your fleet’s destination, it could cause a problem—not to mention that smartphones are distracting to drivers.
The main concern of the management is the security and proficiency of the workers on the road. Since GPS system in the smartphones are unreliable and printed maps are bulky and indecipherable, another option is a portable GPS.
