GPS Tracking
Just curious is this a good idea?
At a the hospital where I work at we have a problem with computers comming up missing! I guess you could call it theft because none of them that have disappeared have been brought back yet.
Now to my idea, why not put in GPS tracking devices, and have a program to connect to a server if it regains internet connection and see if the item(s) have been marked stolen, and if they have, then the program would transmit live longitude and latitude to the server or administrator. Just a few questions, though what would prevent the end user from ending task on the gps tracking program? Is there a way to prevent this? I was just thinking and I thought it would be cool to be able to pinpoint the location of a computer on an internal company website.
IE:
you could click a link and bring up stolen computers, and it would give you a live feed of where the computer is, how fast its traveling, long. & lat., etc... Would anyone find this useful in a real world application? Just was thinking and wanted to write and see what others thought also.
