<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1506" title="Using Tire Rack Coupons" src="http://www.gpsbites.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Using-Tire-Rack-Coupons.png" alt="Using Tire Rack Coupons" width="580" height="171" /></p>

<p><center><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xzeWC1P6gus?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<h3>Tire Rack Free Shipping Code</h3>
<p>If you are looking to get a Tire Rack coupon for free shipping then you might be disappointed as it doesn’t look like there are any currently available – however, when they do become public you can be sure that they will be listed on the Coupon Chili website.  If you check the Tire Rack coupons page on there you will see that they list all different manner of promotions and discounts that you can choose from – so whilst free shipping codes aren’t on there today, as soon as they become available you will be able to get them.</p>
<p><strong>What About Military Discounts for Tire Rack?</strong></p>
<p>Another common question comes from those working in the armed forces at home and abroad.  Do Tire Rack offer military discounts – the answer generally seems to be no, however, due to the hugely discounted prices that already exist for Tire Rack it should not really make any difference whether you are living at an APO and FPO address, or are a member of the general public – you will still get very cheap tires regardless so it’s still worth checking them out.  Again, you can find out more about this subject on the Coupon Chili website by checking this recent blog post about <a href="http://www.couponchili.com/blog/tire-rack-military-discount/" target="_blank">Tire Rack military discount codes</a> – or alternatively watch the video we’ve embedded below.</p>
<p><center><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/MZOkALedGqU?rel=0" frameborder="0" width="560" height="315"></iframe></center><strong>Why We Recommend Coupon Chili?</strong></p>
<p>The reason we recommend Coupon Chili is because they first and foremost only offer valid Tire Rack coupons.  Each promo code and discount has been tested by their team in order to save you both time and money – something which is very close to our hearts here at GPS Bites.  In addition to that, and so that we are completely transparent, they are friends of ours so we are happy to do them a favor in letting you know about these latest coupons.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every now and again we come like to recommend a friend or useful website.  In the past we’ve recommend the guys at Coupon Chili (for example, their <a href="http://www.gpsbites.com/coupon-chili-garmin-discount-codes-navteq">Navteq Coupons</a> we spoke about last month).  This month we want to recommend some more offers that they are running which will be very useful for small to medium sized business owners.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At GPS Bites we don’t mind recommending a friend now again, especially when it’s someone like Peter B.  Peter is a huge Garmin fan and has created many different niche websites dedicated to this company and their products down the years.  As well as that he is an active participant on many of the online Garmin forums and frequently helps people to get the most from their product.</p>
<p>Today he launched a small website telling people how they can use a Garmin discount code, including where to get them and how to get the best deals.</p>
<p>You can see a screenshot of the website below, and then go check him out using the links just above the screenshot – if you want a Garmin coupon or promo code in 2013 then it’s highly likely that you will end up finding one on his website so go there now and see what you can save when shopping online.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Check Website: <a href="http://www.garmindiscountcodes.com/" target="_blank">Garmin Discount Code 2013 – Coupons and Promos</a></strong></li>
</ul>
<div id="attachment_1472" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 560px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1472" title="Garmin-Discount-Code-Website" src="http://www.gpsbites.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Garmin-Discount-Code-Website.jpg" alt="Garmin Discount Codes" width="550" height="387" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The New Garmin Discount Code website from Peter B</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every so often the official Garmin store release new coupon codes which let their customers get discounts and deals when shopping online.  For example, it’s possible to save money with Garmin Coupon Codes on map updates, sports watches, Nuvi GPS devices, outdoor products – in fact the whole range throughout the year.  Generally speaking though, they do not release codes very regularly and it can be very hard to find a valid discount code that actually works.  When they are available, Garmin will from time to time publish them – check the link below to see if there are any current ones available in 2013.</p>
<p align="center"><strong>&lt;&lt; <a style="font-size: 16px;" href="http://www.gpsbites.com/get-garmin-coupon" rel="nofollow">Check for Valid Garmin Coupon 2013</a> &gt;&gt;</strong></p>
<h2>Garmin GPS Coupons – What You Can Get</h2>
<p>OK, so you’ve decided that you are going to buy a new Nuvi GPS – but what next?  As you probably understand, when you buy direct from this retailer the final check out price will be the recommended retail one.  It is still possible to save some money at the checkout though because there are seasonal promotion codes that run from time to time.  Whether you want to get money off your new Nuvi, Zumo, Forerunner, or outdoor handheld, it’s worth checking to see what the current options are available to you.</p>
<h3>Garmin Map Coupon Code – How to Save Money</h3>
<p>Maps are one of the most popular items sold on the Garmin store and are the products that people most ask GPS Bites for advice on when it comes to getting a <a href="http://www.gpsbites.com/garmin-lifetime-maps-discount-code">Garmin Lifetime maps discount code</a> – maps seem to be getting cheaper every couple of years but can still be an expensive outlay.  However, if you are not sure whether you should download new ones or not, then try to compare the price to how much it would cost if say you were to buy a new GPS altogether.  When you think of it that way, then a Garmin Coupon code map update does actually make sense in the long run and will mean you can save the most dollars on your final purchase price.</p>
<p>It’s very easy and simple to do – just click the link at the top of this page which asks you to check for Garmin coupons and then see if there are any valid ones available today. If there are you will need to copy and paste the code into the small box you see on Garmin.com – check out the screenshot shown below if you are not sure where to do this.</p>
<div id="attachment_1467" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 560px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1467" title="Garmin-Discount-Code" src="http://www.gpsbites.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Garmin-Discount-Code.gif" alt="How to enter Garmin Coupons" width="550" height="313" /><p class="wp-caption-text">How to enter Garmin Coupons into the Discount Box when Shopping</p></div>
<h3>Coupons for Garmin – Are They Up to Date?</h3>
<p>Good question.  At the time we published this page there were discounts available and working codes.  However, we cannot guarantee that there will always be coupon codes for Garmin throughout the year or on the date you decide to shop with them.  Promotional codes are just what they say they are and typically won’t mean you need to paste anything into the shop – all you will need to do is find the promotional offer listed on one of the may coupon code websites – for example here is one which lists <a href="http://www.couponchili.com/coupon-codes/garmin/">Garmin coupon codes</a> – and then you just select the promotion that best suits you.</p>
<p><strong>Why Shop With Garmin?</strong></p>
<p>When you shop with this GPS retailer you can be sure that you will get fantastic customer service and a quality product.  They’ve been in business for over 20 years now and are regarded as the number one company on the planet when it comes to GPS.  They operate in a number of different markets including automotive, marine, sports and fitness, aviation, and personal tracking.  In fact, if you drive a car with GPS built-in to it then the chances are this is one of their products too!</p>
<p>Garmin coupons give you the opportunity to buy from a trusted retailer who you know won’t let you down.  You can be sure that delivery will be prompt, their returns policy is excellent, and if you can’t use it there is loads of online video content available or a customer support agent at the end of a phone line.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this week’s blog post we wanted to tell you about a new website that’s recently come to our attention.  The website is called <a href="http://www.couponchili.com/" target="_blank">Coupon Chili</a> and has been set up by some friends of ours.  It’s a very easy to use website and is dedicated to coupon and voucher codes.  If you don’t know how this works then the premise is very simple; if you shop online then you will see that many websites now let you enter in a promotional code at the checkout to save money – well, Coupon Chili is one of the best websites on the Internet where you can find these codes.</p>
<p>What we also love about the Coupon Chili website is that they will start specializing in promotional codes for GPS map updates.  We already list many of them on GPS Bites in our own <a href="http://www.gpsbites.com/voucher-codes">voucher codes section</a>, but Coupon Chili will be a lot more comprehensive than we could ever be.</p>
<p><strong>Navteq and Garmin Discounts</strong></p>
<p>There are a number of sections on their website which should interest visitors to GPS Bites.  For example, you can browse through all the latest Garmin discount codes that they have or even check out whether Navteq are running any promotional codes so you can update your in-built dashboard GPS maps.  Below are just a couple of links that you might be interested in.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.couponchili.com/coupon-codes/garmin/" target="_blank">www.couponchili.com/coupon-codes/garmin</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.couponchili.com/coupon-codes/navteq" target="_blank">www.couponchili.com/coupon-codes/navteq</a></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Coupon Chili Video</strong></p>
<p>If you want to know more about Coupon Chili then check out this video below which goes into some more detail.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SGOmTVEF9sU?rel=0" frameborder="0" width="580" height="326"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>All Promo Codes Are Tested<a href="http://www.gpsbites.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Coupon-Chili-Logo.png"><br />
</a></strong></p>
<p>What we like about Coupon Chili is the fact that they individually test and try out all of the coupons on their website meaning as an end consumer you don’t need to worry and waste any time in checking out various codes.  Please make sure when you visit them that you sign-up for their social media networks and take the time to explore the website as it truly is a valuable resource – not just for GPS map update coupon codes but also for vouchers relating to all sorts of industry sectors.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Truck drivers are a pretty independent lot; it’s why they choose this field as a career. So how do they feel about GPS tracking for fleets? Does it smack of Big Brother? Is it intrusive or does it actually provide benefits that positively impact a driver’s livelihood?</p>
<p>It’s pretty clear why fleet managers and owners like GPS tracking. Far different from the personal GPS used in cars, these telematics solutions do more than simply provide directions to a destination. Yes, they calculate truck routes; although since they must search through truck-specific mapping data, which encompasses more than 700,000 miles of truck restricted roads, they take a bit longer than the traditional car GPS. It’s the additional data collected and communicated that really results in the benefits that so many fleet owners prize. The latest telematics systems offer a wide array of trackable real-time information, including, but not limited to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Truck route calculation</li>
<li>24/7 vehicle location</li>
<li>Performance control problems</li>
<li>Routine maintenance alerts</li>
<li>Automated driver log reports</li>
<li>Excessive idling time</li>
<li>Speed information (acceleration and deceleration)</li>
</ul>
<p>All of this data results in fleet optimization, from better fuel efficiency to monitoring driver behavior. It allows for better communications with clients by being able to pinpoint exactly where a shipment is at any given time. And all of these benefits go right to the bottom line and a positive ROI.</p>
<p><strong>That’s fine for management; what about the driver?</strong></p>
<p>So how does this technology benefit the driver? Is it acceptable that management can track a driver’s actions and whereabouts when he or she is on the road, 24/7? Let’s dissect the different issues.</p>
<p><strong>Calculating Truck Routes</strong> – This has been a boon for commercial drivers, especially when navigating new areas or new routes they may not have traveled before. Obstacles and problems can exist anywhere. We’re only too aware of the accidents that have occurred when trucks are driven where they’re not permitted.  The most well publicized incidents have occurred on New York&#8217;s parkways, which do not allow commercial trucks. These narrow, winding roads have multiple overpasses under which only passenger vehicles can drive.  Yet, since 2005, more than 200 trucks have crashed into those overpasses every year. New York’s senator, Chuck Schumer, blames 80 percent of those accidents on GPS devices sending drivers where they are not permitted. That’s the very reason why truck-specific GPS systems were developed, and why automobile GPS systems should <strong>never</strong> be used by commercial truckers. One other thing that every driver knows; GPS is not automatic pilot. A driver’s eyes, ears, and common sense should always be on the alert for any sudden changes.</p>
<p><strong>24/7 Vehicle Location – </strong>This may not seem to be desirable at first glance; however, consider the following circumstances. You arrive at your destination right on time; however the distribution center staff is running behind, so you have to wait until your cargo is unloaded. The client complains that their goods are not being delivered in a timely fashion, but the GPS makes it abundantly clear that you were exactly where you were supposed to be, when you were supposed to be there. Or, you’ve broken down on a deserted road and need to get assistance. Since the GPS communicates directly to an office location, the dispatcher can pinpoint exactly where you are and get you the necessary help you need.  In a real misfortune, where you’ve suddenly gotten sick or are unresponsive, the dispatcher can notify emergency responders. So this feature can not only save your reputation and your job, it can also save your life.</p>
<p><strong>Performance Control Problems – </strong>Many of the new GPS systems have a Performance Control Module that’s tied directly to the vehicle’s ECM (Electronic Control Module). If the unit detects a default code that indicates something is wrong in the engine, or if it detects a low fuel alert, that information is communicated directly back to the office. This gives the office time to notify you and get you off the highway and to a maintenance facility before a breakdown might occur. That increases road safety for you and other vehicles; on a more practical point, it also saves towing costs and avoids late deliveries. <strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Routine Maintenance Alert</strong> – Knowing that a vehicle is due for maintenance means that vehicle can get the service it needs before an emergency occurs. That early notification and action on the part of the company also helps to ensure compliance. Plus, it gives enough notification for the dispatcher to put in an alternative vehicle, keeping shipments on time and drivers on the road. Downtime is bad news for everyone: the driver, the company, and the client.</p>
<p><strong>Automated Driver Log Reports</strong> – Not just the driver logs, but the State Trip Reports, are also automated. That means a lot less paperwork for you, and a lot less downtime at DOT roadside checks. That’s because when authorities see these electronic logs, they can automatically know if the vehicle is in compliance, thus avoiding costly delays that occur when manual checks are required.</p>
<p><strong>Speed Information and Excessive Idling –</strong> This may seem to be the most intrusive aspect of the system, and to a certain extent, it is. But the reality is that bad driver behavior, though rare, impacts all commercial drivers. You don’t want to be painted with a broad brush, but that is what occurs. So this is an opportunity for a company to recognize and reward the good, safe, compliant drivers, and offer corrective counseling to help eliminate bad habits of the drivers who are less compliant.  In fact, using the data gathered from the GPS Tracking system, some companies can actually have developed bonus programs, and have found that rewards based on truck tracking data can actually increase driver morale.</p>
<p>Ultimately whatever is good for your company financially is good for you as well. A company that increases profitability and productivity will continue to do business. That translates into job security, something every driver (and every employee in any business) truly appreciates.  And GPS tracking can actually add to that job security rather than take it away.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The market for apps improving business efficiency reached $3.21 billion last year and is expected to nearly double to $6.12 billion by 2014, according to research firm Compass Intelligence, LLC. As the development of applications used to increase business efficiency continues to grow at exponential rates for businesses and employees with smartphone access, managing fleet operations from anywhere is becoming as easy as the click of a button.<strong> </strong></p>
<p>The release of easy-to-use mobile applications further solidifies the power mobile devices can have on streamlining business efficiencies. As more businesses create and utilize innovative mobile apps, we will continue to see a paradigm shift from the old “vehicle-centric approach” to a more “vehicle and employee approach,” which puts the power in the hands of employees as they will now have access to enhanced functionality and capabilities.<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Improve Operations with Readily Accessible Information</strong></p>
<p>Beyond fleet and asset tracking, mobile applications are created to address various business needs from invoicing and expenses to paystubs and timesheets. The market of creating mobile applications to increase efficiencies has exploded over the past few years. It makes sense when you think 86 percent of adults have cell phones and nearly 1 in 2 adults now use mobile internet. Businesses that fail to harness this opportunity face the risk of missing the mark.</p>
<div id="attachment_973" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 570px"><a href="http://www.gpsbites.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Screenshots-from-iGasUp.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-973" title="Screenshots from iGasUp" src="http://www.gpsbites.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Screenshots-from-iGasUp.jpg" alt="Screenshots from iGasUp" width="560" height="274" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Screenshots from iGasUp Fuel Price Application</p></div>
<p>As gas prices yo-yo out of control, apps like iGasUp show the best gas prices anywhere you are in the country. Pulling prices from over 100,000 gas stations nationwide, drivers can quickly see where to go for the best deal. Sigalert is an innovative app that provides up-to-date traffic maps, using road sensors for accurate readings. With a user-friendly interface, the app notifies users of accidents, construction zones and other relevant traffic data for most major cities.</p>
<p><strong>An Investment Worth Making</strong></p>
<p>The release of new apps to streamline processes illustrates ingenuity and shows growth and evolution within the market. Businesses of all sizes should adopt and leverage the innovative space of mobile applications, otherwise facing the risk of missing out in a big way. Industry leaders, such as NexTraq®, are now providing customers with instant access to manage their business operations from anywhere, right on their smartphones.<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Applications Lend Transparency to Asset and Fleet Tracking</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.nextraq.com/" target="_blank">NexTraq</a>, a leading provider of GPS fleet tracking and vehicle management solutions, recently released its new mobile app, NexTraq Connect for iPhone®, iPad® and Android™. This fully integrated application will allow team members to record clock in/out and break times, communicate job status, view job locations and directions, assign drivers to vehicles and track vehicle maintenance needs.
