Foreign GPS monitoring services (part 2)

The article continues the description of foreign GPS monitoring services. As in the previous article, services that were updated or have published news no older than a month ago were selected. All services support a large line of personal and car trackers, all have their own mobile applications. All provide the opportunity to work under their own brand (both within the manufacturer’s cloud infrastructures, and with the ability to install on their own servers / infrastructures).

There is no demo access in the “TrackMe” service, but you can quickly register and, using their application - a mobile tracker, get acquainted with the capabilities of the service. The Navixy service seems to be of Russian origin, but since in the previous articles I never touched it and it has many offices in America and Europe, I included it in this article.

As was correctly noted in the commentary on the previous article, this is not an analysis as such, but a statement of factual information. This work is ongoing with the goal of further developing the free IOT & GPS VIALATM service . In my opinion, the collected information can be useful for developers and users of GPS monitoring systems, so I found it possible to share the collected data on Habré.
