New Delhi, September 9, 2010: Mr. ABC, a businessman from Dimapur, Nagaland, is proud of his decision to use MapmyIndia’s GIS VT1 Vehicle Tracking System in his fleet of trucks. Last week, one of his new trucks was stolen and he knew what he had to do. He sought the help of MapmyIndia, India’s leader in maps, GPS navigation and location-based services. The MapmyIndia team pinpointed the accurate position of his truck and gave him the GPS coordinates. This helped Mr. ABC track and recover the missing vehicle.
After this interesting experience, Mr. ABC has placed order for MapmyIndia’s Vehicle Tracking System to be installed in more vehicles in his fleet. The case of a missing truck Mr. ABC first found that a truck had gone missing when it didn’t report back / when the driver called him up /… He made enquiries and realized that his vehicle had been stolen.
