We learn about the nature and scope of an advanced technology GPS vehicle tracking system here: Touted as the best, most fascinating and driver-oriented computerized device, the electronic road map detail containing GPS system is a boon for all those on the road, especially if they are uncertain of a certain terrain as the system is packed with vital and accurate information about road-routes, alternate routes, speed limits, landmarks, distance readings, memory back-tracking etc. to let a vehicle owner know just how to get anywhere.

But, why would anyone want to disable their GPS system, you may be wondering? We don’t blame you for thinking this could be an alarming thing for you to deal with considering this device helps secure your vehicle and the user in many ways. Let us first understand the nature of the GPS system to comprehend the reasons for anyone wanting to disable it: the geostationary positioned satellite helps track vehicles for the owner, who can do so from a remote location as well and with the speed of a computer – less than a few minutes.

This helps retain the peace of mind for the owner who may have loaned the vehicle to someone, wants to keep track of where the driver goes when sent on an errand, if the teenager with a learner’s driving license is safe on the road-trip or whether he is on the right track when driving cross-country. All these are different but very common scenarios that a standard GPS system can help give information regarding the car’s whereabouts to the owner sitting elsewhere.

Sometimes, people are suspicious of new technology which they can’t get a hang of, especially old-timers or the while they are keen on buying the latest model car from the showroom, they may hope to get a discount on the final price by doing away with some of the bells and whistles so they ask for the GPS system to be disabled.

But, most new auto-buyers will be rest-assured of their big purchase being safe with the GPS system in place in the vehicle as not only does this act as an on-road guide, giving tips and updates on different aspects of driving, but it also acts as a reliable theft deterrent, so helps reduce insurance rates for car-owners.

This is because with the easy availability of so many GPS fitted cars today, most insurance companies offer discounts to policy holders with GPS on their cars since it is an effective anti-theft protection. Another scenario, which is not very pleasant to consider but happens all the time is the case of a cheating spouse or lover who may want to disable their GPS vehicle tracking system as they don’t want their partner to know where they’ve been to i.e. with the other person.

Teenagers not comfortable with all the checks up on them by over-bearing parents wanting a minute by minute update on where they’ve been may also want to disable their GPS system in the car as this may be looked upon as overly intrusive and an invasion of their privacy. But, the unfortunate part is that the GPS system can’t be easily disabled as it needs to be completely removed from the placement below carriage; if this unique magnetic box is located elsewhere, you’d best consult with a mechanic!

PDA GPS Software

We cover the latest and best technology news from the US and the world over for you here and today present the convenience and cutting-edge utility of the PDA GPS software system that many lust after and few can afford, but the makers assure us many budget-friendly models will also hit the market soon for meeting global consumer needs for the latest and best global positioning satellite information conveyed to users through their PDA systems.

So, what is the hoopla all about, you may as well ask? Well, as you may know the PDA is a personal digital assistant and also the techie’s term for a hand-held computer, which has seen many improvements down the years.

Advancements in technology have helped the general public in the US and elsewhere in the world to have access to this neat navigational device that has also been made mobile for convenient use anywhere (besides the initial US military use and auto-tracking system it was developed as) to figure as an accurate and reliable way for tracking where your vehicle is at any time and also to act as a travel guide when in exotic, new locales e.g. during business trips or holidays in new countries.

Thus, the main purpose of a PDA GPS system is much the same as the traditional and standard GPS or global positioning satellite device, which helps one keep track of the location of a vehicle, directions to the destinations including landmarks and distances or alternate routes available to the driver etc. making driving easy and less of a chore like it was in the days of only paper road maps. The PDA is a sophisticated GPS support device and it can be made so with the uploading of specific software that transforms it into a GPS system easily and effortlessly.

You can explore the possibilities offered to you by the PDA you currently use and check for this added functionality on your personal digital assistant (PDA); much as it is a mini-computer, the PDA scope has grown over the years to accommodate different uses for the purpose of calculation, using as a clock and calendar, granting Internet access, sending and receiving Emails and documents, making video and audio recording, activities like typewriting and word processing, playing games, music or writing spreadsheets in addition to serving as advanced Global Positioning Systems.

Since many PDA’s employ touch-screen technology also besides allowing access to the Internet, there is endless scope for using these through intranet and extranets (WiFi or WWANs) to get updated information for travel purposes.
