Polaris - Lowest Cost GPS Tracking System on the Market
CloserWorlds introduces Polaris, a low cost product / service for tracking an object's physical
location in real-time over the Internet and displaying its position on a geographical map. Polaris
can be used to track vehicles on the road, ships, planes, trains, humans and even animals. It is a
generic system that consists of an XML web service and software running on a client's computer.
Hardware located on the tracked object transmits the location periodically to the web service which
forwards it to the customer's machine. CloserWorlds offers a complete vehicle tracking system built
on Polaris providing the lowest cost tracking on the market for companies who want an entry-level
product without investing much money up-front.
Polaris is built using Microsoft .NET technology and can be customized by any programmer to meet
special business requirements. The client software ships with support for Microsoft MapPoint and
OziExplorer but can be programmed to interface with any mapping software or business application.
Multiple vehicles (or any object) can be displayed on multiple maps simultaneously. Polaris is also
designed to work with any hardware device since it contains no proprietary interfaces to any
specific hardware. Dates/times are stored in UTC format (Universal Time Coordinate) and textual data
can be stored in multiple languages.
The Polaris web service costs a minimum of $15 a month which guarantees tracking a single vehicle
every 15 minutes, 8 hours a day, 6 days a week.
For more information on Polaris, see www.closerworlds.com, or call +49 711 838 5038 (Germany).
CloserWorlds is also looking for distributors worldwide. Contact CloserWorlds if you are interested
in selling and providing product support in your country.
