gps system tracking vehicle

If a fleet of vehicles were getting fitted with a tracking system so they could be monitored from the office. What do you think the pros and cons would be to set the system up?

pros's, you and the people tracking you always know where your at ,and if in trouble and on a unknown road even at night , system like on star can locate and help, all cell phones can be tracked withing 4 inches of actual location, bad side if you a car thief, or just killed some one they also know where you are, and where you have been , but really that's a upside to, a real down side would be the back up power is dead on the tracking unit and its not working and they cant find your off a cliff that would be a down side

There was a child that was abducted and molested. The only thing she could remember was the color of the truck. By using the GPS tracking system, the police were able to find out what trucks were at that site at the time of the crime and brought the offender to justice. A truck driver didn't show up for his delivery. His GPS showed him at a truck stop miles from where he was supposed to be. He suffered a heart attack in his truck. There are some good reasons for having the system in vehicles especially in emergency situations.

As with any real time GPS tracker, monthly service fees are applicable. Plans range from $10.00 to $25.00 monthly, without any service agreement.
Geo-elapsed time alert (when unit stays in particular location longer than allocated time)
Bing and Google maps with option of "birds eye" view
Real time tracking, as fast as every seven seconds with customized setting
Geo fencing alerts (when unit enters or leaves designated area)

Does anyone have any experience, which are the latest after-market vehicle theft recovery (tracking) systems that also get good reception and work on a convertible? The mounting of the antenna is particularly problematic on older (classic Mercedes) convertibles because the steel dash shields the antenna and other locations, either don't provide enough space or create other problems.

I would like to be able to not only track the car on-line, but also by calling in to check for its current location (for instance, when I am parked in a parking garage in the mall, etc.

I am not interested in LoJack or Teletrac as they do not work well. Also, I would like to be able to track the car myself via internet.

My main problems with the past systems that I have used is that they often did not work, especially when the car is near an airport, inside a garage or in other "dead zones".

THANKS!

You can try some devices that parents can used to track their teen drivers like spy matrix
