I see the occasional odd posting on boards asking about free GPS fleet tracking software; stumbled across this, and thought it worth posting about. OpenGTS, which stands for “Open GPS Tracking System”, allows web tracking on Google Maps for a fleet of vehicles. It’s written in Java, and uses MySQL, so it should run on any platform that supports those. The software is labeled “alpha”, and I have no way of trying it out, so you’re on your own on this one. If you do use it, please post your experiences in the comments section.

Quite an interesting option…compatibility should not be an issue since java and MySQL are present in most of the system..thanks for sharing this with us.
