We have cases, guards, and other stuff but the GPS already comes with the car charger/wall charger/ windshield mount, and maps. So its hard to sell accessories with them, but our store is starting to push it and I really want to try, any suggestions? (its so hard to sell cases that are 19.99!, so expensive)

I work at an attraction and my boss wants me to find out how we can become a point of interest on GPS systems?

I don’t have a GPS and I don’t know much about them. From what I’ve found out so far it looks like only people who own them can make error reports to the company. There has got to be an easier way.

Do you have a product suggestion for GPS tracking on my non-motorized fleet?

I cannot seem to find, what I would consider, the right product for my non-motorized fleet of courier vehicles.

What I am trying to find is a magnetized GPS receiver that is small, discreet, and requires no ignition/battery hookups. I need a real-time tracking system which remains inactive within a designated “fenced” location unless I require an on-demand update of the unit’s location. Once the fence has been crossed, I would like the unit to fully activate with real-time and automatic tracking as an anti-theft device.

I know that GPS tracking is relatively new, but I can not find any product or service that combines all of these needs together.

Do you have any suggestions?
