They offer a full solution and have doing it for many years. There are some services I have heard of that do exactly what you are suggesting at a significantly less cost than the above companies. As for non commercial applications, do a search on APRS! I have done mapping with a VFP database automating Microsoft Maps. This would probably work in your scenario below. It's fun stuff.

A receiver could be at the office to receive that data stream and feed this information into a FoxPro Database. All the while You could have a large screen tv with this map on it that automatically refreshes every 15 minutes and queries the up to date data. By doing this, you would always know the location of your trucks and be able to keep an eye on them. Anybody have anything like this ?? A sample of the map I'm referring to is on my web site under the link "USS W S Sims FF-1059" Virgil Bierschwale Armstrong and Skipper Real Estate (830) 329-6774 Cell (830) 864-4726 Home (830) 864-4799 Fax http://www.geocities.com/vbierschwale/ [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
