OpenGTS – Open source GPS fleet tracking for free April 29, 2007

Posted by Rich in : GPS fleet tracking , trackback

This is one of the more interesting options I’ve come across – OpenGTS – an open source GPS fleet tracking solution. Yes, open source, as in free. Now I’m not sure how many companies will actually take this on. Just ask your CTO about doing it and see what he/she says!

OpenGTS uses a Google Maps interface (as shown below), though their site says you can use other mapping interfaces if desired. Geofencing can be used to provide arrival / departure information.

OpenGTS supports devices using Open DMTP, the Open Device Monitoring and Tracking Protocol, a companion project. The system can currently be used with the Palm Treo 650 and the HP hw6945.
