Web mapping is the process of designing, implementing, generating and delivering maps on the World Wide Web and its product. While web mapping primarily deals with technological issues, web cartography addition
A desktop GIS is a mapping application that is installed onto and runs on a personal computer and allows users to display, query, update, and analyze data about geographic locations and the information linked
Fleet management assists companies and private individuals to survey their transports live via a technology called (GPS) Global Positioning System.
This impressive tracking accomplishment provides correct information of the vehicle’s location from transport history and area, live latitude and longitude, and destination. A great advantage is that everything is done in real-time.
There are assorted vehicle quantities; what is considered small from 1-10 vehicles, and a large fleet is one that has a thousand over vehicles. Broadly speaking, the bigger the number of transports the higher the return. There is a huge amount of companies adopting the use of fleet management and this is impressively a potential multi-billion dollar industry.

Live Maps & Reports
Live Maps
Managers have the ability to accurately track their fleet vehicles anytime, anywhere using state of the art satellite imagery, actual address locations, and in-depth traffic reporting. Any zoom level you choose offers a clear perspective of your fleet location and the current status of vehicles.
Define specific areas or fences and easily identify all activity in and outside of selected zones. This allows you to easily pinpoint vehicles that consistently violate boundaries or view detailed reports to identify time spent at each job site.
Live Reports
The system provides an enhanced management reporting software suite to allow the user to access system information for sophisticated mobile unit analysis and to generate management reports, incorporating text, graphics and map data, for operations control and strategic planning.
Both attribute query and spatial analysis can be carried out with the system tools provided enabling the user to review vehicle movement history and playback vehicle movement tracks. Both tabular and graphical reports of the information contained within the database can be produced.

Automotive Navigation System
An automotive navigation system is a satellite navigation system designed for use in automobiles. It typically uses a GPS navigation device to acquire position data to locate the user on a road in the unit’s map database. Using the road database, the unit can give directions to other locations along roads also in its database. Dead reckoning using distance data from sensors attached to the drivetrain, a gyroscope and an accelerometer can be used for greater reliability, as GPS signal loss and/or multipath can occur due to urban canyons or tunnels.
Some sorts can be taken out of the car and used hand-held while walking.
Commercial Solutions

With Garmin GPS, drivers and dispatchers work together to improve customer response, optimize fleet resources, and ultimately, achieve lower costs and higher profits for the company.
For wireless fleet tracking and monitoring along with audible turn-by-turn directions and real-time moving maps, Garmin has the answers you’re looking for.
Garmin
Garmin is founded on the principles of innovation, convenience, performance, value, and service. The co-founders Gary Burrell and Dr. Min Kao, display Garmin’s innovative products in the lobby of their Olathe, Kansas, world headquarters.
What began as a brainstorming session of a handful of engineers around a card table in 1989 has evolved into a worldwide collaborative effort of thousands of colleagues. Garmin’s goal, as it was then, remains simple: To create navigation and communication devices that can enrich our customers’ lives. Garmin’s innovative products span various areas of interest, including automotive, aviation, marine, fitness, outdoor recreation and wireless applications.
A member of Garmin Ltd. (Nasdaq: GRMN), Garmin International exemplifies growth for everyone involved – consumers, employees, investors and retail partners. The secret to our success isn’t even that much of a secret. From the time that the founders focused on selling their first product using GPS (Global Positioning System), Garmin has hired and surrounded itself with creative minds and passionate spirits.
The power of “Vertical Integration”
Garmin is thriving because they take pride in the cooperative environment that stems from vertical integration — they design, manufacture, market and sell their products themselves. During any given conversation about a product, you’re likely to find engineers, designers, product testers, artists, writers and salespeople sharing their thoughts.
Investing in innovation has been central to Garmin’s success. The original handful of employees in 1989 grew to a work force of 1,000 just 10 years later. That number doubled within four years and eclipsed 4,000 by 2006. In 2007, Garmin’s worldwide work force topped 7,000 and showed little sign of slowing amid expansion in Europe and Asia.
