> The CONNECT is on the way!

The CONNECT is now in production!  The first batch will be delivered and dispatched by the end of December.

The CONNECT, our Plug and Play product, can be used immediately after purchase to track any driver or vehicle. No technical knowledge is required to install the CONNECT, however, as we try to meet all of our customers’ requirements as much as possible, an installation package for covered and permanent installation is being developed.

> CONNECT Quality Guarantee

All CONNECT’s produced are submitted to a quality test by our teams in Belgium and Italy. This quality check will identify any possible issues with hardware or software, and avoid any malfunctioning of the device after delivery to our customers.

Every CONNECT that comes off the production line is connected to a Garmin device and submitted to structured testing. Only those CONNECT’s that meet the test criteria will receive quality approval and be dispatched for packaging and distribution.

> CONNECT Information Material

Translations are underway and are already available in English, German and Czech. Dutch and French will be ready by the end of this month.

GPS-Buddy id you know THAT?


  • We are still negotiating with Garmin and other distributors, but first sales in the US are already underway!
  • The CONNECT Box includes a second cable in addition to the standard communication cable (USB) so it can also be used with the Garmin devices that use a flat connector.
  • We are currently working on the development of a totally new and enhanced WEB SERVICES INTERFACE. With this new version, our main objectives are to increase usability and intuitive use of the tools. More info next year!
