#Myth 1 – We don’t need GPS tracking because we trust our people
In the case of fleet management the common myth you get to hear is that we don’t need GPS vehicle tracking as we trust our people.

#Myth 2 – All our drivers will quit if we use GPS vehicle tracking system

Which is not true, in fact when GPS trackers are installed then the drivers will get precise data regarding routes and cargo details which will significantly reduce paperwork, assist the drivers in reporting work done in appropriate time, etc.
#Myth 3 – GPS tracking systems are complex and complicated to install and use
Most vehicle tracking systems comprise of the same basic components which are:
- The tracking main unit

It’s fairly an easy task to install the device by an experienced personal and the client has to do nothing apart from learning to use the software with which the vehicle is tracked. Once the device is fitted onto the vehicle, there is less to none maintenance for the devices if there are no hardware faults. And once someone gets to use the software for some time, it’s really easy to use.
There are many other numerous myths that still prevail in society but once you get to understand and experience the benefits of GPS vehicle tracking systems, fleet owners as well as personal vehicle owners have the peace of mind that their expensive assets are secured and taken care off.
