Networks in Motion, an Irvine, CA company has created cell phones with on-screen mapping and GPS location abilities. These phones know where they are and send information back to their home office allowing the company dispatcher to...
• Identify the location of the phone, and whether it's stationary or moving.
• Pull up maps that show the current location of all employees.
• Click on the name of a particular worker to get a map of the route traveled that day, along with specific addresses visited, and even the vehicle's speed at any particular moment.
• Get an automatic warning whenever a driver is stuck in traffic or speeding.
