GPS tracking for crews that cover ground

Proof of work, not just a breadcrumb trail.

Any tracker will draw you a line on a map. Ground Pilot turns that line into the ground actually covered — mowed, swept, sprayed, patrolled — and shows you what got missed.

Live fleet map Hours into your CMMS Sub-metre accuracy option

The question nobody could answer before

When a resident calls about the strip behind the ballfield, the honest answer has usually been "the crew was there Tuesday." Ground Pilot buffers each track by the working width of the equipment, so the map shows the ground that passed under a blade, a broom, or a spray boom.

  • Gaps are visible, not inferred Ground that was never covered is flagged against the property or route boundary.
  • Frequency, not just presence How many times each area was worked this month, cell by cell or segment by segment.
  • Schedule status per location Every property or route carries a target interval, so past-due sorts to the top.
0.4m

Accuracy with an external receiver. A phone alone manages about 16 m — too coarse for a 7 ft deck.

10sec

Logging interval. Dense enough that a working pattern is a shape, not a guess.

3yr

History retained, with full-resolution tracks exportable for any incident.

Different work, same question

Anything that covers ground on a route or a schedule has the same problem: the track proves presence, not completion.

Mowing and land care

Acres cut per visit, per property, per crew — and the strips that got left. Deck width drives the coverage geometry.

Street sweeping

Which curb miles were actually swept, how many passes, and which streets were skipped when the route ran long.

Fleet and dispatch

Live positions for vehicles and crews, with arrival and departure events at every site you care about.

Marine and waterways

Patrol tracks, canal and shoreline maintenance, boat ramp activity — the same coverage logic, on water.

Weed and vegetation spraying

Treated ground by pass, with boom width applied. A defensible record of what was sprayed and when.

Part of a connected suite

Hours, positions and site events pass straight to CMMS Pro for maintenance and Secure Duty Pro for duty and dispatch. Nothing gets re-keyed.

How it works

Three pieces. Nothing to install on a server, nothing for a crew to configure in the field.

01

Put a tracker on the equipment

A hardwired unit, an OBD plug-in, or a phone running the Ground Pilot app. Each one enrols with a six-digit code — no server address to type, no settings to get wrong.

02

Watch the work as it happens

A live map of every unit, with what each is doing and where. Geofences tell you when equipment arrives at a site and when it leaves.

03

Let it feed the rest of your suite

Hours and odometer readings reach CMMS Pro, so maintenance triggers on real usage rather than a guess. Positions and site events reach Secure Duty Pro, so duty and dispatch see the same picture you do.

Pick the hardware that fits the job

Different equipment needs different things. All three report into the same system and appear on the same map.

No hardware

Phone as tracker

  • Android app, six-digit enrolment
  • Logs continuously, uploads in batches
  • Pairs with an external GNSS for survey-grade accuracy
  • Good for supervisors, boats and light vehicles
Recommended for working equipment

Hardwired tracker

  • Wired to vehicle power, always on
  • Rated well past a Florida engine bay
  • Spare inputs for deck, broom or boom engaged
  • Cuts the guesswork out of coverage
Plug and go

OBD dongle

  • Into the port, nothing to install
  • Reads odometer and engine data from the ECU
  • Best path to usage-based maintenance
  • Suits light fleet and pool vehicles

Built to work with what you already run

Departments share equipment, crews move between divisions, and the person answering the complaint is rarely the person who did the work.

  • Separate tenants, properly Each organisation sees its own fleet and nobody else's. Enforced in the database, not by a filter somebody might forget.
  • Sign in by text A mobile number and a six-digit code. No passwords to reset for a crew that changes.
  • Your data stays yours Export any track as GPX, any period, any unit. Nothing is locked in.

One source for the whole suite

Ground Pilot is the tracking layer, not another silo. It publishes positions, trips, meters and site events over one API, and the rest of the suite reads from it directly.

  • CMMS Pro Preventive maintenance that triggers on real engine hours and odometer readings, and work orders that open when a unit reaches the site.
  • Secure Duty Pro Live unit positions for duty assignment and dispatch, with arrival and departure events at the locations that matter.
  • Anything else you run The same API is open to your own tools. Export any track as GPX, or read positions and events straight from the source.
