April 15, or as most Americans call it, tax day, is  just around the corner.

For some business owners, filing taxes isn’t as easy as going over receipts and other papers that document expenditures and deductions. Not all businesses can keep track of pertinent information that impacts taxes in this clear-cut way. Fleet owners are among this group of business owners.

Fortunately, however, thanks to technology – namely, GPS tracking technology – taxes have gotten a whole lot easier for fleet owners. If you are new to owning a fleet business, you may be wondering how a GPS mileage tracker can help you when it comes to filing your taxes.

Here’s a look at how a GPS tracking device and taxes go hand-in-hand.

Maximize Mileage Deduction

Mileage deductions are a big deal for fleet owners when it comes to filing taxes. It used to be difficult to keep track of exact mileage, but thanks to GPS tracking devices, it’s never been easier. All you have to do is upload the mileage report from your device and fill in the numbers wherever they need to go on your taxes. Say goodbye to logging every mile driven for the year and having your driver’s document how many miles they’ve driven. Read the rest of this entry »

When most people think of flying, they think of getting from point departure point “A” to their point arrival point “B”.. Well, the pilot of a D-EFHN recently illustrated – quite literally – that sometimes, it’s not always about getting to where you’re going, but it’s about the journey itself.

An unidentified pilot took to the sky near Hamburg in a privately owned plane and landed on the North Sea of archipelago of Heligoland. During his journey, the pilot created some pretty impressive aerobatics, the results of which were really quite stunning.

The flight route of the aircraft was recorded on the live flight tracking radar website Flightradar24. The image that the piloted created with his plane was clearly illustrated on the radar as, you guess it – a plane!

Pilots have used GPS tracking technology to create images with their flight paths before, but never has one created an image like this. This pilot is the first to use his plane to create an image of a plane. It’s a pretty impressive feat, if you think about it. Read the rest of this entry »

There is nothing more exciting for a teenager than acquiring a driver’s license. A license to drive is a rite-of-passage and signifies a coming-of-age.

However, while your teen may be extremely excited about passing his road test and getting his license, as a parent, a licensed teen driver means you now have added stress and constant worry. You are constantly worried about the safety of your child, any passengers that he may be driving, and anyone else on the road.

In order to ensure that your teen is driving as safely as possible, it is crucial for you to have a conversation with him about the importance of safe driving and that you make sure that he has the skills that are necessary for safety when behind the wheel. Despite all of the conversations that you may have with him and all of the education and training that he receives, though, there’s still no way to guarantee that your teen is driving as safely as possible.

Thanks to the advances of technology in the 21^st century, you will be delighted to know that there is now a way for you to monitor your teen’s driving, thanks to GPS teen tracking devices.

GPS (short for global positioning system) devices make it possible for parents to keep tabs on their teens when they are behind the wheel. With a GPS teen tracking device, you will have added peace of mind whenever your teen is on the road. Read the rest of this entry »
