For small trucking companies or anyone who wants to keep track of a vehicle (like, maybe, parents
of teenagers), the GPS 7100-B from Rocky Mountain Tracking sounds like a bargain. The $520 unit installs with
magnets, can supply the usual GPS data like location, speed and direction of travel, and can also be used to disable a
vehicle over the net. There are no monthly fees; customers pay only for accessing data. Of course, if you're a fleet
owner or need to track your kids 24-7, those fees can add up, but if you just need occasional updates, this can be a
cost-effective solution.

Great alternative to Lo-Jack. How popular is this?
This product is actually being resold by Rocky Mountain… its actual company is Vehicle-Tracking Incorporated… and the unit is $25 less on their site: http://www.vehicle-tracking.com/products/7100_images.html
Those are three magic words that seem to fly in the face of recent tradition. "No monthly fee" bucks the trend whereby everything that used to be so-called "free" now has a subscription fee attached to it.
Maybe the end of civilization isn't apparent, after all.

I don't see the 7100-B listed on the Vehicle-Tracking Incorporated website? :/

Mark my words. 5 more years and you'll have these in a new car that you'll buy.

A lot of companies in US rely on vehicle tracking and a lot application service providers emerged, such as TrackYourTruck to provide this service to companies.
The service is close to be an utility and the purpose is business only - better logistic equal to better service.
However the fear of losing privacy still remains.
