Just a quick post to announce the launch of the JoeyTracker at Tufts University. We worked a couple of Tufts students to help them bring the project to life and allow them to track their campus bus (aka “The Joey”) online. Read this article posted by the Tufts Daily if you’re interested in more details.

If you’re really bored and decide you want to lobby for a GPS bus tracker on your campus then be sure to check out the video below. I recently posted this article about a Tufts GPS bus tracking project with Ublip. At Ublip, we’re working hard to connect people with remote assets and this project is a great demonstration of our technology foundation.

The cat is out of the bag. At Ublip, we’ve just released our easy to use GPS tracking system that is very affordable and can be self-installed. If you analyze a majority of our competitor’s offerings you’ll notice the “kitchen sink” approach where the GPS software has every feature under the sun. We believe we’ve baked in just the features you need to locate your assets, view basic reports, geofences, and notifications. Of course we’ll be extending the product, but our current customer base is extremely pleased with the features that are available out of the box. In the world of GPS vehicle tracking, fleet management, or whatever name you prefer, we believe there’s a HUGE opportunity to make GPS asset tracking more approachable from both a technology and cost perspective. Check out a tour of our web-based GPS tracking software and we’ll be releasing a live demo soon. Also, if you’re interested in using a GPS enabled mobile phone for tracking then please drop me a note or leave a comment below. I’m contemplating bringing the Windows Mobile and Symbian versions of BlueGPS out of retirement for a basic phone implementation.
