For Drivers Only — Bosses Need Not Read

So many of my searches here center around phrases like “how to defeat GPS”, “is it legal to track employees”, “hiding from GPS’ and similar.
In general it is always legal for an employer … private or government … to track their employees.  It’s also something that makes sense in the cosmic sense, because they [...]

Something GPS To Be Thankful For

I’ve been intending to write about this service for a couple days now.  Can’t wait any longer.  Winter is here in the northern hemisphere and so is gift giving time … safey and gift gadgets, how much better does it get?
