Learn All About Leasing A New Car

Filed under Leasing

Whether you lease a car to get into the latest models or have better purchasing flexibility, getting a good deal is always bound to give you a lift. Use these guidelines to help you spot one:

Check incentives: be on the look-out for factory -subsidized lease deals. Car manufacturers realise that consumers who lease vehicles from them are more likely to be repeat customers than those who simply purchase vehicles. Through their leasing companies, they adjust the residual value and offer low financing charge. Other auto-manufacturers are also starting to give incentives on leasing, called leasing subventions. They offer these subsidies to put slow-selling models on the street, saving you even more money.

Using Vehicle Tracker Systems to Prevent Fleet Misuse

Filed under Automotive

You have to be able to trust your employees to do the job that they're paid to do.

Big Brother Carries A GPS Enabled Phone

Filed under Automotive

Phones equipped with GPS receivers are revolutionizing the cell phone industry. As we`ve all seen on our favorite crime dramas, if your cell phone is on, the police can locate you, sort of anyway! For those phones without a GPS receiver, the technology is not as accurate, in police drama terms you`re probably a goner if you`re locked in someone`s trunk. A cell is basically a two-way radio that pings signals off of land-based towers which are arranged into a network of cells to send and receive signals. Many things can get in the way of the police finding you, like your signal being lost in a copse of pine trees or by pinging into a mountainside.

Use Google Earth And Gps To Find Your Destination

Filed under Automotive

We were planning a visit to a relatives house, one to which we’ve been but I had forgotten exactly which road to turn on to get there. We would be taking our 5th-wheel trailer, as we’d be camping at their homestead.

The Find > Address answer in my GPS was ambiguous. I wanted solid confirmation that we would be going to the correct place. What to do?

Google Earth to the rescue! I opened Google Earth and quickly found the location. Then, I placemarked the location. (Add > Placemark) Once the placemark pin was inserted, I right clicked on the pin, went to Properties, and read off and wrote down the latitude and longitude.
