If any/all of your devices are on 3G, here’s what you should do:

• Confirm with your telematics provider which of your installed devices are 3G or 4G LTE.
• If you do indeed have devices running on 3G, talk to your provider to understand your upgrade plans and options, to minimize disruptions to your telematics services.
• Evaluate your options closely, and determine if the time and costs involved in migrating to 4G hardware with your current provider will yield the best outcome for your business. The 3G sunset could be an opportunity to switch providers and improve your entire fleet tracking technology. Many 4G providers like Samsara, have attractive offers for companies upgrading their 3G telematics technology and can offer contract buy-outs for those who are eligible.
• If you have not yet invested in a telematics solution, ensure that the telematics provider you’re inquiring about is offering you devices that run on 4G LTE.

What are the advantages of a telematics solution for fleet managers and drivers?

Managing a fleet of vehicles, trailers, assets, and equipment can be challenging, no matter the fleet size. That’s why over 75% of fleet managers rely on fleet tracking software or vehicle telematics to help support day-to-day operations in at least some of their vehicles, according to data from Government Fleet’s annual benchmarking survey.

For Fleet Managers, some of the benefits of a fleet management solution include:

• Increased efficiency
• Reduced operational costs
• Optimized vehicle performance
• Automated workflows
• Streamlined compliance

For Drivers, fleet management software helps reduce unnecessary hassles. Some of their benefits include:

• Driver routing communications: Reducing driver callbacks, distractions, delays, and angry customers.
• Geofence: Drivers are delayed due to unplanned wait times. Geofence notifications upon arrival minimize wait time.
• Maintenance alerts: Fleet managers can institute diligent maintenance processes and schedules, which translates into less vehicle breakdown stress for drivers.
• Hours of service (HOS): Electronic logs provide drivers with more control over their daily routines, which greatly contributes to job satisfaction.

How much does a telematics solution cost? Will it save me money?

Fleets are always looking for ways to save money, and investing in technology can seem counterintuitive. However, investing in the right technology can actually save money in the long run. In fact, there are a lot of operational levers that a telematics solution can pull to deliver substantial ROI to an organization.

Samsara offers a streamlined license structure for all products and makes it easy for customers to deploy and ensure that users have access to the latest technology over the long term. Samsara is committed to providing simple pricing, Rapid return on investment, and a low total cost of ownership. Telematics pricing generally works on a per-vehicle/per-month or annual basis. While there is no doubt that our pricing is competitive, when looking at investing in a telematics solution it’s important to evaluate the value that comes with that price. Understanding what is included, alongside what is not included and the cost of that delta is key. For example, are there additional fees for Wi-Fi, driver workflow or Dash Cams, integrations and APIs, onboarding and training, or does your purchase require an installation partner, which translates to additional fees? Also, consider the future state of your investment, will you receive future technology advancements free of charge? or will you be expected to pay for updates?

Samsara customers receive:

• An all-in-one fleet management platform so that everyone from the field to the back office operates on the same real-time data.
• Easy to deploy plug-and-play hardware, intuitive, modern design, Cloud-hosted software.

My Buddy Tag GPS Tracker Review

My buddy tag GPS tracker is a Bluetooth enabled device that is pretty simple to use. Unlike many trackers this buddy tag does not require any monthly subscription fee.

We have extensively researched about this tracker and even evaluated many customers’ reviews and almost everyone appreciates its friendly nature.

My buddy tag can be used both for children with special needs especially when the parent does not want their son or daughter to go off in a far distance.

Also, my buddy tag enables safety when your child is out of range. You are just required to download the app and put the bracelet on your child. Once your child leaves the 80-120ft range, you are notified through the app and get your child before it is too late.

• This product is best used when going outdoors mostly in crowded places.
• Parents with many little children can use my buddy tag to ensure kids do not go too far away from their watch.

Overview

My buddy tag app is available for all iOS and Android users and enables you to precisely locate the tracker’s location. Features such as geofencing function allows you to set up a small perimeter not exceeding 120ft and receive notifications each and every time your kid goes beyond this distance.

Surprisingly, you can also view your child’s previous/recent location history via My buddy tag app. An alert is also given each and every time the battery is low.

Basically, the tracker solely relies on Bluetooth technology. Therefore, being a Bluetooth enable device, you cannot be able to track your child once he/she leaves the 120ft perimeter with My Buddy Tag. In addition, you must have your phone and app open in order to receive notifications.

This tracker is therefore ideal when you and your child are going to a crowded area or in a family activity such as visiting Disneyland. This device may not work for kids going to school, camps, or even faraway places.

Although I have already mentioned that my buddy tag is considerably easy to use and has a simple interface. It may be difficult when setting up the device for the first time. Other than that, the app is intuitive, interesting and surprisingly easy to use.

You can track multiple children via toggle settings for each kid.

Pros

• Monthly fees. It does not have any. My buddy tag along with the companion app does not require any subscription plan you pay every month.
• Fits all wrists. The my Buddy tag rubber Band has many holes on it, so that kids of different ages can wear it on their wrist.
• Tracker in disguise. My buddy tag looks like a bracelet, so no one can notice that it is actually a GPS tracker.
• Comes in many colors. This GPS bracelet comes in many colors, suitable for both boys and girls, so they can choose the color they like the most.
• Free app. The app you can download for free, is available for both Android and iOS platforms. There are many options on the app, suck as view recent history, see current location, set safety zones, see f battery is running low and many more.
• Water resistant. My buddy tag is water resistant, so this feature can prevent your kid from drowning.
• Budget-friendly. Last, but not least, My Buddy Tag is pretty affordable option, especially if you are a big family, so you can purchase one for each of your children.
• Simultaneous tracking. You can simultaneously track many tags on the app in your phone, and the best of all, you can name every tag. so you will know which tag belongs to which child.

Cons

• Operates on small area. My buddy tag connects with Bluetooth technology, so that limits the range of operating, up to 120 feet, depending on the phone you are using.
• Some setup issues. Some of the tag users complained about getting the tracker into the Band, but the rest is easy peasy. Check out the guide on the official MyBuddyTag page. Also here is a short video on how to easily do the setup.

My Buddy Tag Customer Reviews

A handy tool for parents with multiple little ones

“I bought Buddy Tag three weeks ago and used it ever since while shopping with my kids, at the playground and in the shopping malls. I have three kids, age 6, 3 and 1.5 and I bought this watch mainly for my wife, because the youngest one often catches her attention, and it’s very difficult for her to keep them all in order.

The main feature why I bought this watch is the proximity alert, it is the main feature that allows us to track our 6-year-old when going out in crowded places. The app has an option to set the distance to far, medium and near and adjust it according to your needs. It is best to set the distance to medium, because the “near” option is too sensitive. When they are at the playground, I set the option “f

ar” so that the alarm wouldn’t go on every time he gets too far from us. All in all, it is working pretty great, and my son can play freely while I still see him. We are not worried about going to Disneyland next month, because the buddy tag will be with us.”.Mike Herbert

Great tracker, so glad I bought it

“The reason why I bought this bracelet, is because I have read the reviews and it said that it is water safety bracelet. I bought it and decided to test it. I dropped it into a cup of water, but the alarm did not go on. After that I tried dropping it in my sink, the alarm still did not go on. I called the customer support, and they explained that My Buddy Tag has to be on the hand for the alarm to go on and covered into enough amount of water. I put it on my son’s wrist, and tried it in the bathtub and it really worked. It was super cool and am very grateful that this kind of watch exists, since we have pool in our house, so I want to be super that my son is OK.”- Marcy

Overall Review

According to many of my buddy tag reviews, it has been established as comfortable to wear and easy to use. It contains an alarm that will never fail to alert you each and every time your kid wanders off to far from your presence.

My buddy tag also comes by with multiple options which mean that you can clip it in your pants, your s and also your backpacks.

We would therefore recommend buddy tag for parents with kids aged 3 – 6 years. It would also be ideal for parents with multiple kids or a kid known to be a runner in the family, so they cam simultaneous track all the kids, each one named in the app of the caregiver.

Although My Buddy Tag has the least tested functionality, it has the best value in the market. This is because of its decent and reasonable budget. We definitely recommend My Buddy Tag for large families, so that the parents can easily track all of them without worrying.

The 4 Best Robot Lawn Mowers with built-in GPS of 2022.

The Worx WR153 is the first GPS Robot Lawn Mower that we’ll be reviewing. Now from the start, we need to mention that the GPS mounted it on it is used exclusively for the “Find my Landroid” function, which is an anti-theft feature. At the moment, we do not believe that it provides GPS guided navigation in any way.

It is the top of the line model from Worx and it can cover an area of up to 1/2 Acres (2000 sq. m2). Let’s look at this Smart lawn mower’s grass cutting abilities: You can adjust the cut height by using the knob on the top from 1.9″ to 3.5″ (4.8 to 8.9 cm). It uses a spinning disc with three rotating cutting blades and here is the important part, the disc is mounted on the side so any Worx robotic mower will do a better job cutting close to the edge and this is something that we will probably see with other manufacturers in the future.

The device takes 90 minutes to charge and that also provides it with a 90 minute battery life. When it senses that it is low on battery, it just goes back to the included charging station, recharges and heads back out to finish mowing the lawn. It is very independent and fully programmable, you can control it with the smartphone app which also includes Smart home integration, so you can start it using Google Home and Amazon Echo voice controls.

When it is running, this autonomous lawn mower is not very loud with a noise level of 63 Db which is more silent than a vacuum cleaner, so it will not disturb your neighbors while doing lawn care on your yard. Even if your garden is uneven or maybe your entire house is built on a slope, it can climb it even if it has an incline angle up to 20 (35 %).

Worx WR143 Landroid M GPS

The Worx WR143 Landroid M GPS is also the smaller version of the Landroid L which also includes a GPS positioning module. Like we mentioned before with the other model, it is not using GPS for navigating, it is there just for anti-theft protection.

The grass cutting functions and performance are the same with this device as with the WR153, same cutting height, same cut width and the same uphill capabilities because it has the same spinning disc with three rotating cutting blades.

The main difference is in how much area this device can cover on its running time and this particular GPS automatic lawn mower can handle a lawn size of up to 1/4 Acres (1000 sq. m2). That is why in the package you’ll only get 590 feet of boundary wire as opposed to 850 feet with the previous one.

It has a rain sensor, so when it starts to pour outside, it automatically goes back to its charging station and waits for the conditions to improve, so as not to damage your lawn, however users have reported this sensor to be too sensitive, sometimes if it passes by a sprinkler it thinks it is raining.

Husqvarna Automower 450XH

The Husqvarna Automower 450XH is probably the ultimate GPS lawn mower robot.

In terms of the way it uses GPS positioning, this mower is different from the Worx models. It uses the GPS for tracking and for navigation.

It was made to be a heavy-duty automatic mower as it can navigate and mow an entire 1.25 Acres (5000 sq. m2) lawn, 2.5x times more than the best Worx mower.

It was designed for lawns with a taller grass because its cut height varies from 2″ to 3.5″ (5 to 9 cm) with a very wide cutting width of 9.45″ (24 cm).

The charging time for this GPS robotic lawn mower is about an hour, but that will give it a very long run time of approximately 270 minutes. And you won’t even be aware it is running because its noise level is just 60 Db.

As for its features, like the Worx models it is fully programmable via the smartphone app (Which has really good ratings). The app may seem a bit complex at first but it is very powerful because you can customize every aspect of the cutting process.

One of the best things about it is that Husqvarna will provide 5 years of warranty for it.

Husqvarna Automower 310

The Husqvarna Automower 310 is a GPS Robot Lawn Mower is a lighter and much cheaper model.

Here the situation with GPS tracking is different because it doesn’t include it by standard, but instead has it as an optional extra when you buy it.

It uses the same Husqvarna app with similar features, but it can only cover an area up to 0.25 Acres (1000 sq. m2). You can set its cut height to be between 0.8″ to 2.4″ (2 to 6 cm) and the disc has a standard cutting width of 8.7″ (22 cm).

If you have a garden that is built on a slope, then it should be able to handle it. The maximum angle that it can climb using its engine is 22 degrees (40 %).

It takes about the same to fully charge it, 60 minutes but that charge will only provide you with 60 minutes of autonomy. Given that it has full autonomy, it won’t be an issue because it does all the recharging by itself. This is also a very silent robot lawn mower with a 60 Db noise level.

In terms of safety features it includes a Lift Sensor and a Tilt Sensor. But then in terms of security and anti-theft functions, it has an alarm, a PIN code and the GPS to help.

Which GPS Robot lawn mower to buy?

If you want to buy a robot mower that uses GPS to improve its navigation, then the Husqvarna 450XH is the device for you.

If you just want the anti-theft tracking feature, then the Worx WR153 and WR143 will provide it as well.
