And if I was misunderstood let me say that I recommend this product with out question. As an analyst Its in my training to point out potential issues or risk with products based on experience(s) in the field.4 cents :)Best RegardsPhillip
Phillip,Oh I gotcha brother! I posted that more for other readers who may be concerned about abuse. I gathered you are a fan of the technology.I apologize if I was misunderstood. Thanks for adding to the discussion!Bobby
Phillip,No doubt that "...any GPS application, it is open for misuse" but so is email, web browsing, a fax machinet etc. Some employees are going to try to beat the system...any system.This program allows for tracking to be turned off after working hours and a company can allow only certain people to login to view the data as well as restrict anyone else from registering.Bobby
Have used this with a company for a couple of years, it works as explained very well. In certain aspects it works better then one anticipates and returns data you may not want to have seen or were better off not knowing. "Use your imagination" I caught the employee's hacking into the administrative computer running the software because they were curious about after work habits of a disliked employee, they had hoped to catch some dirt on the employee in question using the GPS locater software.My point is that the chance of the tracking software being misused is a consideration point in my opinion and for legal reasons should not be company public knowledge rather one senior employee and the System Admin. should be under NDA of some form, and the use of the product should be triggered by poor performance or a set policy infraction.2 centsPhillip Arnt
