When people hear the words GPS monitoring services, they may think of services that prevent you from getting lost while traveling. GPS does serve that purpose, but it also has other purposes, such as tracking mileage, actual time spent on the road, the locations of your company vehicles, your teenager as she walks through your local mall with her friends and so much more.
