Rover: Vehicle tracking solution from MapmyIndia

MapmyIndia has announced the launch of Rover, a vehicle tracking solution with house-level data. This device allows users to track their vehicles anytime and anywhere using their mobiles and web browsers.

Rover is equipped with maps with house-level data. It has an internal battery back-up, which enables it to function even if the vehicle's engine is turned off. The device is water and dust proof and has an internal antenna. It can send text messages and emails across multiple numbers and email addresses of the user's choice. Rover also has a function by which the vehicle can be immobilised in case it is stolen. The vehicle can be located by sending an SMS "FIND Vehicle Number" to 56161 from any number.

Rover also has a feature called Geo-fencing (setting geographical boundaries) and route setting that will set off alerts in case of any deviation. This will allow users to take corrective measures before the situation becomes worse. Additionally, Rover allows users to mark important places that are visited regularly.

The device also allows users to keep a check on vehicle running, which helps the user monitor the movement of the car and keep a check on over-speeding and other undesirable activities. This in turn helps him in optimising usage and increasing efficieny.
