We supplied Asset-Link vehicle-tracking hardware and mapping software to the North American Solar Challenge, an 11-day solar race in July 2005 that involved university teams from across North America. Our vehicle-tracking systems enabled solar challenge supporters to track the race cars' progress as they made their way from Austin, Texas, to Calgary, Alberta. Supporters monitored maps that we updated every 10 minutes during the marathon race. |

We supplied similar vehicle-tracking hardware and mapping software to the Sea-to-Sea bike tour, involving more than 130 cyclists who rode 7,125 kilometers (4,260 miles) from Vancouver, British Columbia, to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Our tracking systems enabled Sea-to-Sea supporters to follow the cyclists coast-to-coast, monitoring their progress so closely that it was evident when they crossed specific intersections. |
