Wazza, I have been trying to find a true GPS tracking system for our fleet of work cars.
sadly the one you linked uses the 3G phone system or can be used with staelites but does not record Odometer readings (main thing I require) because best they can offer with Satelite system is a report every hour and the machine just calculates points between dots.
So not 100% acurate, and not sure if acurate enough for my needs.
Most of the cars in our fleet end up parked in exactly the same spot, so it could be out driving for 50 minutes (at 130kph) and then parked back at same place behind clinic.

Looks like a great system if you are within 3G coverage.
I have spoken to them and they are checking if they can use the vehicles electric speedo signal to get a more accurate odo reading.
