Zoombak GPS Helps Monitor Teen Driving

Teen driving can be reckless at times and as parents, we barely get to see this. Testing them by asking them to drive for you will not work since they will certainly be cautious and drive like rational drivers. But the real problem starts when you are no longer looking. But that was yesterday’s news.

Today, Zoombak makes teen drivers become more cautious. With their latest GPS tracking device, parents will be able to monitor their children’s driving habits and pinpoint where they are. The rising number of car accidents caused by teens has been a cause for concern and now thanks to Zoombak, another preventive measure may be able to help curb down these numbers.

How Zoombak speed tracking works:

• Following a quick over-the-air software update, Zoombak customers will be able to set up a speed threshold, (say 60 MPH) and receive alerts if that threshold is exceeded.
• Setting up a speed alert for an account at Zoombak.com is simple and fast, and users can choose to receive alerts by SMS text to their mobile device, or by email. Users can set the speed alert to be always on, or set on/off schedules around certain times of day.
• Zoombak determines the speed and direction (North, South, East, West) of the driver based on their location signal every 5 to 15 seconds.
• When conducting Find-Now searches at Zoombak.com, in addition to the regular current location information, the email or text message will now also automatically display both the speed and the direction the driver was heading. So even if automatic alerts are not set up, parents can still see on-demand how fast and which direction their teen was driving. Direction is displayed as North, South, East or West.
• The new “Speed” section of the Zoombak website provides Zoombak customers with more detailed instructions on setting up and getting the most out of the speed tracking feature.
