   Does anyone know of a company that provides GPS for maintenance carts? I know there are systems such as Visage that provides it for golf cars, but I am looking for something a bit simpler that can help me monitor where my maintenance equipment is.

   Ok,
   
   I'll be the first jokester,
   
   I use google maps and the satilitte view, it shows where all my trees are and that is usually where I find my carts.
   
   I thought there was a program through one of the GPS cart vendors which could also track maintenance equipment?

   Don't you hate when equipment takes off like that??
   I used to have something that did that for me...I called it an "assistant".
   Man, those were the days

   Steve,
   
   Check out the GCSAA webcast - USGA presents: Science and Technology You Can Use in Your Business. It references small, portable GPS units that might be applicable for your situation.

   I will be Mel's side kick!
   Can it have a cell phone jammer option too?

   Thanks, everyone. I'm glad I was able to provide a topic of levity! Seriously, though, this might be something one of the vendors might want to research. I'm in an environment that I have maintenance carts not only on the golf course, but throughout the resort. I have the ability to track golf carts with Club Car's Visage system, but not a real viable way to track maintenance carts.
