Vehicle tracking has been out for some time now. GPS tracking started off in the United States military and was for while exclusive to them. Today it is used by civilians to track a myriad of things.

One of the most common things to track is vehicles. Vehicle tracking is now seeing the biggest growth in its history. The market is now worth millions of pounds in the UK alone and worldwide it is worth billions.

One use is for security. Nowadays insurance companies realise that if a vehicle is fitted with stolen vehicle tracking it is much more likely to be returned. For this reason insurance companies encourage people to fit tracking in their cars by offering discounts for people who have taken the plunge and get a tracking system fitted.

Another large market in the GPS tracking market is the tracking of company fleet vehicles. The advantages to businesses tracking their vehicles are lower costs and improved efficiency. Businesses also use tracking to improve safety for workers who work alone. Lone worker protection systems often incorporate mobile tracking.
