that many car manufacturers offer GPS capabilities built directly into their cars.
Mobile device providers have also found themselves competing with each other
over their location aware applications using GPS technology. While there are
several applications on the market that offer functionality for individual
consumers, there is not a lot available for companies or small business owners
who need to manage several vehicles at once from a central location.
The Open GTS (Open GPS Tracking System) Project is an open source project
developing the Open GTS application, focusing on a GPS application specifically
built for managing fleets of vehicles for small businesses. Fleet vehicles have
different requirements for GPS applications than individual vehicles. For
instance, the dispatch managers ability to keep track of each vehicles location
through the work day is just as important as the drivers ability to find their way
around with accurate real time mapping and directions.

Customized Reporting
Another feature of open source GPS tracking systems is the ability to generate
custom reports based on your specific data needs. For Open GTS, since it is
based on XML for its underlying reporting structure, reports can be configured to
provide data on a particular historical period, a particular set of vehicles in the
fleet or even one vehicle in the fleet.
