Hearing It From A Customer

When searching for the best GPS product out there, there are many places to do research, but we have found the best way to know how this product will work, and how it will work for you, is to hear it from someone who is actually using it in everyday real world situations. With that in mind, we ventured to Earthscapes Landscaping, located just outside Tampa, Florida for an interview.

Jeff Scofield, owner of Earthscapes talked to us about the many ways GPS has helped his company's bottom line in these tight economic times. See for yourself how GPS can work for you.


Fleet Safety

Drivers might start seeing along Florida highways those "click it, or ticket signs" that are posted everywhere in many other states.

A state law went into effect June 1, 2009 giving law enforcement officers authority to pull over and ticket drivers and front seat passengers for not wearing seat belts. Before today they could write tickets for failing to buckle up only if the motorist was stopped for speeding or another traffic offense.

The national average of safety restraint usage is 83%, while in Florida it was only 81%, of the 27 states that have statutes similar to Florida’s new law; the usage is rate is 87%. Regardless of consequences, many people still do not wear seatbelts, taking a gamble not only with their safety, but with their checkbook as well; a violation will cost a driver $116. (Read More)

New Feature: Posted Speed Alert

New to the V8 user interface introduced several months ago is a new feature called Posted Speed Alert. This optional service compares the vehicles speed derived by the GPS system to that the posted speed limit on the road being traveled. This is done when reported speeds are compared to a database of road speeds. When the vehicles actual speed exceeds the posted speed in the database by a user defined speed, the system generates an alert.
