Custer, WA (PRWEB) January 20, 2006 -- GTES is pleased to announce today that it has released the latest update to the SHERLOC™ Hosted Location Services (www.sherlocgps.com). With the release of SHERLOC™ V1.2 customers will find the same powerful location capabilities updated with a simpler and more intuitive map navigation interface.
“In discussions with our customers we identified several new features related to tracking screen navigation that would simplify the user experience and better map into existing work flows” stated GTES Vice President of Marketing and Business Development Mark Pocock. “We’re confident that both our cargo security and vehicle or mobile-asset tracking users will find the updated interface provides easier and more intuitive access to the powerful tracking and management features of SHERLOC™.
In addition to the user interface updates, SHERLOC™ V1.2 expands the report generation capabilities and implements several server-based modes of operation to unify capabilities across all device types. “Using server-based geofences, continuous tracking, and scheduled tracking, SHERLOC™ can provide these services even for wireless GPS tracking devices which do not inherently support these capabilities” said GTES Vice President of Engineering Peter Carr. “To the greatest extent possible, we strive to provide a unified feature set across different wireless networks and for both standalone battery powered and vehicle powered devices.”
