It is always challenging to offer GPS tracking solution at a location where sufficient map data are not available from conventional sources. GPSonRoad plays an important role for transport operators and civil administration authorities operating in such regions by integrating the tracking solution with custom made maps from third parties.
The various maps made by district administrations and various state government authorities can be integrated seamlessly with Google Earth for regions which do not have sufficient map details available in Google Earth. This is done by using the image overlaying feature of Google Earth. The custom map can be created by scanning a paper map and be in any of the conventional image format e.g. .jpg, .gif, .bmp etc. Following are some of the examples of third party maps overlayed on Google Earth. The users can pan, zoom and use other features of Google Earth on the custom map as well. More important than anything else is that the user monitors locations of his mobile assets in the custom map using GPSonRoad with Google Earth.
