LiveViewGPS Debuts Compact Live GPS Device, PT-10

By Michelle Robart, TMCnet Editor

As GPS devices become more advanced every day, and cell phones continue to integrate location-based technology, the industry is struggling to find new ways to entice consumers.
 
To combat this issue, California-based LiveViewGPS has unveiled the Live-Trac PT-10, a thin, fully-functioning GPS tracking device.
 
The PT-10 is the latest innovation from LiveViewGPS, a company that strives to impress the consumer market. Created for professionals and consumers, the PT-10 is a Live GPS tracker that features 10 second position updates when moving over 10 mph. It also updates every 20 feet when moving less than 10 mph. In addition, the device offers 90-day historical playback -- a very useful feature that lets users know exactly where the PT-10 has been.

 
With its compact size, the PT-10 can travel from person to person and vehicle to vehicle with ease, giving the GPS a number of potential uses.
 
LiveViewGPS President, George Karonis, believes there is no limit to the applications for the PT-10.
 
"When we designed this unit, we really thought about the end user and how they could benefit most from a small compact GPS device that tracks live. We see the PT-10 as a staple for families with young children, teen drivers and elderly family members, businesspeople who travel throughout the year and even companies that can increase efficiency by gaining a better understanding of their employees' whereabouts,” explained Karonis.
 
The PT-10 also offers Zone Alerts, which allow users to set up to 20 different zones that notify them when the PT-10 enters/exits pre-defined areas on a map.
 
With the PT-10 Speed Alerts, users will receive an SMS text message or e-mail alert when the PT-10 exceeds speed thresholds that a user sets.
 
Other features of the PT-10 include:
 
  • Comprehensive GPS Tracking of up to 14 Satellites
  • A wide coverage area utilizing the ATT Digital Cellular Network
  • Robust average Operating Time of 8 hours while in continuous motion
  • Automatic PT-10 sleep mode when not moving conserves battery power
 
LiveViewGPS created the PT-10 GPS with the idea that a device can transform the way individuals utilize global positioning systems for personal and business use.

LiveView GPS, Inc is located in Valencia, California and specializes in real time and live GPS tracking systems, GPS monitoring and management for vehicles, assets, equipment, property and persons. LiveView creates consumer and commercial based, cost effective GPS tracking solutions.
