This software is crucial to operation of the system. Although many people would argue that the GPS device itself or wireless communications network is just as important, the GPS Tracking Software takes what would otherwise be raw data and turns it into useful information. There are, historically, two types of GPS Tracking Software client-based and web-based. Client-based GPS Tracking Software was typical of early Vehicle Tracking Systems. Prior to the maturation of the internet, client-based software was the most efficient way to display GPS Tracking data. The highly detailed digital maps processed much faster on a local machine.

The programming language like Visual Basic, that was used to develop the client-based GPS Tracking Software, is well-known and relatively easy to program. This allowed for programs to be developed quickly. The other type of GPS Tracking Software is web-based. A second advantage of the web-based GPS Tracking Software is the high performance and unique feature set of the underlying program language. Software like JavaScript and Ajax make it possible to have advanced features like programmatic updates of layers over static pages. For instance, think of a map that stays the same while the icons representing the location of the vehicles change as they move about. Finally, the other major benefit of web-based GPS Tracking Software is that it can be accessed from any internet-connected computer from anywhere in the world. Most GPS Tracking Software has the ability to print reports and provide alerts. Alerts can be made on over speed and geofence violations, which is a virtual geographic boundary around an area. Whatever the type, the return on investment of most GPS Tracking Software is well worth the investment.
