Q: How often does the GPS unit record a GPS position?
A:
These positions are recorded per second, but reported back via the software every minute when moving and hourly when stationary. If there is an alarm or exception, then these events will be reflected in the trip as and when they have occurred. This allows for accurate trip replay functionality regardless of the “join the dots” you will see on the trip replay. The system therefore does not cut corners or have data missing as might be perceived.
Q: Can I get pin-point positions (GPS positions)?
A:
Yes. Mtrack has three GPS capable units, MtrackPro Wireless, the MtrackPro Wired and the MtrackFleet unit. The MtrackPro Wireless as the name implies is totally wireless and uses its own internal lithium battery as power supply. All antennas are also encased within the unit. This unit uses a sleep cycle configuration to conserve battery power. The MtrackPro Wired and the MtrackFleet units have external wiring and this is used to draw power from an external power source (vehicles 12V or 24V battery) to charge the internal back-up battery in the unit.
Q: What may affect the GPS accuracy?
A:
Atmosphere, ionosphere and the position of your GPS receiver may all affect GPS accuracy. Buildings, natural structures and heavy foliage that obstruct the GPS unit’s view of the sky, may influence the accuracy of the reported position.
