The online site has some of the best location reporting we've ever seen. Leveraging both Google Earth and Microsoft's Virtual Earth, the web-based location report provides 5 different ways to view the the location, including the Bird's Eye view, shown below.

 

Reports are accessed online require (IE6 or higher is required). Maps can be viewed in 2D, 3D, Road view, Aerial view, Hybrid (Road & Aerial), or Bird's Eye.

 

The map can be zoomed in or out, and panned by dragging the mouse around or using the pan/zoom control in the upper-left corner of the screen.

 

The page also displays a calendar that allows users to choose a different day's reports, and a Geo Fence button for drawing a Geo Fence on the map.

 

 

 

Bird's Eye Map Report

The Bird's Eye map view, shown above, combined with the accuracy of the tracking Device makes it easy to pinpoint the GPS's location on the map.

 

 

 

Viewing History Trails

History trails can be turned on or off by checking or unchecking the History Trails checkbox on the reporting webpage. When checked, the History Trail visually display the path the tracking Device has taken.

Microsoft Virtual Earth's 2D View

The Aerial view is a 2D map that combines aerial photos with street names..

The 2D is less visually stunning than the Bird's Eye view, but provides a clearer overview of where the tracking Device has been.

 

 

 

Setting a Geo Fence

A Geo Fence is a virtual boundary on the map that will trigger an alert if crossed. Geo fence boundaries can be drawn on the map, and an email address can be setup to receive alerts. It is possible to configure multiple Geo fences in as many locations as you want. You can also configure a Geo fence in an area the tracking Device is not currently in, and be notified when it enters that area. For example, you could configure an alert to let you know when your child successfully arrives on his/her college campus.

 

 

 

Viewing Monthly Driving Reports

Because the tracking Device keeps track of both speed and location information, the device knows the difference between walking around on foot and travelling in a vehicle. The tracking Device  provides a number of useful driving reports, and time spent in a vehicle can be viewed as a monthly report that shows distance, drive time, idle time, starting and ending addresses. Speed information for each trip can also be viewed on a different page.

 

 

Viewing Daily Driving Reports

Daily driving reports offer more granularity than the monthly report, showing the entire day's activity, including time spent parked, mileage driven, and addresses visited.
