Altech Netstar – the leading stolen vehicle tracking and recovery, and fleet management company in Southern Africa – has joined forces with the global leader in traffic information – ITIS (www.itisholdings.com) to form Altech Netstar Traffic (ANT). ANT is the first to bring intelligent, real-time traffic flow information and journey times to the motoring public of South Africa in a variety of applications.


How Does It Work?

ITIS has developed a unique and patented method of extracting data from vehicles installed with GPS tracking systems, and from mobile phone networks. In both cases the data is completely anonymous, and cannot be traced back to the individual vehicle or mobile device. This data undergoes intense mathematical analysis, and is overlaid on a coded street level map. The proprietary codes enable ANT to calculate and predict the speed and congestion between key intersections on freeways and secondary roads. The content of this information is enriched by adding traffic incident data, such as ‘road works’ or ‘vehicle accident’.

Does anybody know where one can buy a FM receiver for Garmin GPS's so that you can use the netstar service on your GPS as well?

Good and well but its success is limited to the amount of units installed.
