I've
said it before, but parenting certainly changes your outlook on "Big Brother" technologies. It's in that spirit that
GuidePoint's new GPS vehicle tracking product - the
VTAC GPS - is so intriguing.
Check out
the features:
- GPS Vehicle Locator: Log onto www.vtacgps.com and track the whereabouts of your vehicle at any time of the day over the internet.
- Stolen Vehicle Recovery: Real-time Internet Tracking of your stolen vehicle 24/7 by trained Response Center personal for faster recovery.
- E-Call: In the event of an emergency situation of any kind, this feature provides appropriate emergency assistance to the vehicle's exact location with a single phone call.
- Geographic Boundary Alerts: Set geographic limitations in which your vehicle can travel. If your vehicle travels outside of your predetermined boundaries, you'll receive an automated alert via email or text message.
- Selectable Excessive Speed Notification: This feature allows you to track the speed your vehicle is traveling and provides you with electronic alerts any time your vehicle exceeds a pre-selected speed for a given amount of time.
- Trace Maps: With this online feature, you can review a history or trace map of where your vehicle has been.
- Arrival and Departure Alerts: Receive email or text notifications when your vehicle arrives or departs from a designated waypoint or landmark.
- Selectable Features: Add security and convenience with selectable features including Remote Door Unlock, Remote Carfind and Remote Car Start.* (requires additional parts and labor).
- Visual Theft Deterrent: The VTAC access panel mounted on your dash is a visual indicator that your system is on and your vehicle is protected. This panel also allows for access to optional services.
-
- Transferable: If you ever sell or trade your vehicle, your VTAC GPS System can be transferred to your next vehicle.
The system will cost $499 with a year's worth of service. After that, it's $149 a year.
Suffice it to say that I'm very, very glad this wasn't around when I was a teen.
