GPS Car Tracking: Do You Need It for Your Teen Driver?
How to Upgrade Your Vehicle at Car Stereo City
Although we specialize in premium car audio and building out some of the most intricate car stereo systems in Southern California, Car Stereo City also carries a wide array of vehicle accessories and upgrades. We can install premium-grade window tint, security systems, HID/LED lights, and car GPS navigation systems.
In addition to providing a much larger screen size compared to the standard smartphone, many GPS systems now have a ton of additional features beyond mapping and directions. If you’re the parent of a teenage driver who is just starting to get behind the wheel on a regular basis, it might be high time to look into how a GPS system with tracking can help curb bad driving habits.
GPS Car Tracking Primary Features and Benefits
We know that you’re already familiar with the basics of how GPS works. In this day and age, people use it all the time to find whichever store or restaurant they’re going to or to navigate their cross-country trip. GPS has finally allowed us to retire paper maps and say good-bye to printing out directions off of Mapquest.
So, how exactly does GPS – or more specifically, GPS tracking – help develop a responsible teen driver who borrows the family car from time to time? The answer is features. Lots and lots of features.
Car Stereo City carries some of the most advanced GPS systems that seamlessly allow vehicle owners to know exactly where their vehicles are and how they’re being driven at all times. Here are a few of our favorites:
GPS Tracking: This handy feature allows you to know the exact location of your vehicle using an app on your phone. GPS tracking allows you to see where your car is in real time. So, for example, if your teen driver says they’re going to the high school to watch the football game, GPS tracking allows you to verify that your car does indeed wind up in the high school parking lot.
Geofencing: For those worried parents who are concerned their vehicle will stray too far from home, Geo fencing is the perfect GPS tracking feature for you. On your GPS mobile app, you will be able to set specific boundaries that your vehicle is allowed to operate in. In the event that your vehicle goes beyond the fence that you’ve created, you will get a notification instantly alerting you that your vehicle has breached the boundary you set. Although you won’t be able to remotely disable the vehicle if it goes beyond the fence, this kind of accountability keeps teen drivers in check. They’re less likely to break the rules if they know you’ll be alerted.
Customizable Driver Behavior Alerts: Not only will GPS tracking provide you with where your vehicle is, it can also provide insight as to how it’s being used. Going over the speed limit is always a valid concern that parents have with teen drivers. Thankfully, modern GPS systems allow you to set a maximum approved speed level for the vehicle. In the event that your teen driver is driving 65 mph when the ceiling is set at 60 mph, you’ll be notified of it immediately. Additionally, you can set approved hours of operation for your vehicle. This customizable alert comes in handy for parents who are concerned about their teen driver sneaking off with the car in the middle of the night.
GPS Tracking Provides an Extra Layer of Security
The chances of your car being stolen are slim to none, but in the event that it does happen, it’s best to be prepared. Yet again, GPS tracking comes to the rescue. Once you get in touch with the local authorities, you can use your GPS tracking to pinpoint the exact location of your stolen vehicle. This gives the police everything they need so that they may go and recover your car for you.
