Jul 17, Teen Car Tracking update

Teen car tracking seems to be accepted, and more real-time GPS systems hit the market.

GPS Tracking Key from Rocky Mountain Tracking is a small, pocket sized device. The internal computer accurately determines the GPS location of the device within 2.5 meters and records detailed travel activities every second.

Data logged includes: Route Traveled.Velocity.Direction/Orientation.Duration the device remains stationary.

The recorded data from the GPS Tracking Key can be displayed with Google Earth over a street map, satellite images or in a text report. The device is powered by just 2 AAA batteries and can be placed inside, outside and even underneath the vehicle. The strong magnet mounts allows for instant mounting. The GPS Tracking Key is also water-resistant so you do not have to worry about the elements.

Speed Nanny (see below), the Teen Safety Store, and gpsteentracking.com all offer the GPS Tracking key.

Speed Nanny. This is not exactly a teen car tracking system, but rather a smart personal warning against excess speeds. As your vehicle moves, Speed Nanny is constantly working out your position and can calculate the speed you are traveling at. Speed Nanny can also easily work out the direction in which you are traveling. It stores a database of over 10,000 locations around Ireland where excessive speed poses an increased risk to you, other motorists, school-going children or pedestrians. Speed Nanny constantly compares your location and direction with these risk locations.

Depending on the type of location you are approaching Speed Nanny will give various voice alerts at 500 meters and 300 meters from the risk location or in many cases none at all unless you are over the applicable speed limit. For instance, as you approach a school during school arrival and leaving times Speed Nanny will advise you that there is a "School Zone Ahead" at 500 meters then to "Watch for Children" at 300 meters and will also check your speed at this point.
