Re: Vehicle Tracking

["seniorsimon" <simon.ryley@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I recently worked on a project creating a fleet wide tracking and
data logging system for a major vehicle OEM.  (With a few other
features thrown in as well, including security and geo-fencing)

If anyone wants any advice on vehicle tracking technologies, please
feel free to get in touch.

Simon
