How does vehicle tracking work?
  • Transpoco converts GPS data received by the hardware unit in your vehicle and sent back to our secure servers through the GPRS network into user-friendly maps and reports, accessible via the Internet. No software is required, simply login using any PC with Internet Explorer and instantly access your data.
What does GPS mean?
  • GPS - Global Positioning System - a space-based radio navigation system comprising a series of satellites orbiting the earth and associated ground infrastructure. The units in the vehicles continually communicate with the GPS system and by a process of triangulation are able to work out the location of the vehicle which is then displayed on the base station mapping screens, generally to with 5-10 metres accuracy.
What does GPRS mean?
  • GPRS - General Packet Radio Service. This is a high speed 'always on' data transfer link which is used to communicate captured vehicle location and status information from the vehicle back to the base station software.
What type of Internet Connection do I need?
  • While Transpoco recommends a simple high speed Internet connection (Broadband, et. al.), the Fleetwise Vehicle Tracking Services web software does not require anything beyond a dial-up connection. With a dial-up connection, however, the user will notice slower response when navigating, running reports or downloading.
How long after I order will my order ship?
  • Transpoco has streamlined the order and activation process by stocking all necessary items. However, we do ask that you allow approx 10 working days for your order. In most cases we can activate and ship your order within 5 to 10 working days.
Do I need a professional installer?
  • It depends. If you have a person with basic vehicle electrical knowledge, then you should be able to install the units. We have designed our units and our installation guide to be as simple as possible. Each unit will be connected to an ignition source, a constant power source (vehicle battery) and chassis ground. Transpoco provides all needed cabling and fuse kits. If you do need a professional installer, Transpoco also has a network of installers around the country.
Where does the unit go on my vehicles?
  • We usually fit the sealed hardware unit covertly behind the dashboard to avoid clutter and reduce the temptation to tamper, but it can be mounted anywhere as per the client’s requirement.
Can I move the unit from one vehicle to another?
  • Yes, absolutely. You need to inform Transpoco of your intention so we can change the system to administer this change.
What is Navigation?
  • A navigation system uses two things to track your location and your destination: GPS (Global Positioning System): your navigation unit communicates with at least three GPS satellites simultaneously through a built-in or external antenna to determine your position. Comprehensive road maps and software: major roads, county roads, city streets, and important points of interest (including restaurants and hotels). The navigation system determines your position by comparing the information it receives from the GPS satellites to its road map information, then calculates the best route to your destination.
