Checkmate's Smart GPS Recording Algorithm
The Checkmate suite offers the most extensive track reporting of any GPS tracking system on the market today. Other systems offer track and location updates based on time intervals. Instead of choosing a system based on 15, 5 or 2 minute reporting, employing the Checkmate GPS tracking system gives you an unmatched flexibility in reporting with crystal clear route history at your fingertips.

Using the smart algorithm allows the fleet owner to choose his or her own parameters for reporting. Tracks are recorded in increased frequency during turns as well as during acceleration and harsh braking. During freeway travel the unit records less track data if the vehicle stays at a constant speed and heading, but any heading or speed changes will be logged for reports. All track recording capability is user configurable.

The advantage of this type of recording comes when viewing your fleet's data. Reports and routes are much easier to read than those provided by any of the competing systems. Fleet owners can view a trail as the vehicle curves around an off ramp while exiting the freeway and see every road a vehicle has turned onto throughout the day. Any other system that uses a simple timed reporting feature will miss turns and leave holes in the route taken making it difficult for a dispatcher to verify the route taken.

Another great advantage of the smart algorithm is greater accuracy in mileage reporting. Checkmate's records mileage to within a +/- of less than 1% of the actual vehicle mileage. Couple this with Checkmates's maintenance reporting and a fleet owner can be sure that oil changes, tire changes or lease expirations will be reported accurately. Also our miles by state reporting for fuel tax reasons will be within 1% of actual mileage. A competing system that only records a location every 5 minutes will have a mileage variance of up to -15%. So for every 100 miles driven, Checkmates will record about 100 miles compared to the 85 miles of our competition.
