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

Can you answer bnbdreams’s question about Surveillance?:
I cannot seem to find, what I would consider, the right product for my non-motorized fleet of courier vehicles.
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?

Surveillance Feedback: what do you mean by “non-motorized fleet of courier vehicles.”
you might try cell phones with gps or look at some of the watches or other gadgets marketed to parents who want to track their kids.

Surveillance Feedback: I assume you are talking about GPS on bicycles, golf carts, or similar devices.
If these are your employee you could require Nextel devices to be carried with them for common business communications. There are a number of GPS options available for Nextel. Some work well, some don’t; largely dependent on the quality of coverage in your work area.
In coverage is spotty, you are off the interstate or very rural then you will need an actual GPS device hardwired to the vehicle and it will require 12 volts, installation, etc.
It has been my experience that most of the value of GPS tracking for employees comes from behavior changes when they know they are being monitored. It is not nearly as valuable to play “catch and scold” as it is for them to know you can document all their movements.
Good luck
