Great news about power issues with GPS

We have been testing out our GPS system from Horizon Tech. One of the most pressing issues has been the battery drain. We have been haunted by mysterious battery issues for months now and after some great detective work by the Tech team over at Horizon. They were able to figure out the solution.

It seems the GPS is configured to work off of a car/truck/ semi truck but not configured for the Vespa but.... With some software reprograming Horizon Tech was able reduce the power needs of the unit to 1/3 its previous power consumption.

This would have been a real problem had we rolled out the GPS units to all our Vespas.

Now we have to figure out how to make the RF readers talk to our data base via the GPS cellular/satalite lines!

Anyone got that figured out? Contact me directly via email so we can talk about what solutions you think we should use.
