Ski resorts rely on many tools and techniques to keep their slopes filled and skiers happy. While it may be something you’ve never thought of before, providing shuttle buses equipped with GPS tracking for skiers, shoppers, and those simply looking to take in the stunning views while exploring your resort is a great way to add value to the services you offer.

When it comes to GPS tracking devices for your vehicles, there are two primary types of devices: hardwired where you need a three-wire connection and plug and play (PNP) where you connect them right to the OBD-II port.

Any vehicle made after 1996 should come with an OBD-II port located usually near the steering wheel of the vehicle. The OBD-II port helps a mechanic or your car dealership to connect the computer of your car to clear engine codes or see what’s happening inside your car.

When using this port, you can easily plug the GPS tracking device directly into this plug and have the ability to track in less than a minute. This also saves on installation expenses and you can move it to another vehicle at any time. Once you install the plug and play GPS tracking device, you simply log into your tracking account and you’re ready to track.

Not all homes are set up to help seniors ease into the transition into their older years. Some major issues are:

• Mobility
• Declining sight
• Declining hearing
• Declining mental awareness

These can all affect a senior’s ease and safety of continuing to live in their home independently.
