Real-time Live Tracking
See exactly where every asset and employee is right now.
Real-time Live Tracking is the foundation of Argus fleet management — it tells you exactly where every vehicle and asset is, right now, with positions updated continuously as your fleet moves. Built on multi-satellite GPS and displayed on Google Maps (Satellite or Street View), it gives you the situational awareness to make smarter dispatch decisions, prove driver activity, and respond immediately when something goes wrong. Whether you manage five vehicles or five hundred, live tracking eliminates the guesswork that costs time, fuel, and money every single day.

How it works
See it in practice.
How Real-time Live Tracking fits into your daily operations — step by step.
Device installs in the vehicle
An Argus GPS tracker — plug-and-play OBDII or hardwired — is installed in the vehicle and immediately begins transmitting position data via the cellular network using multi-satellite GPS positioning.
Positions update automatically
While moving, the device reports the vehicle's position every 500 metres. When stationary, it checks in every 30 minutes — keeping you informed without draining data allowances.
Your fleet appears on the map
Every asset shows on your Argus Management console in Google Maps Satellite or Street View. Filter by vehicle, driver, or group, and click any asset to see speed, heading, status, and recent activity.
Assign jobs and act instantly
Use live positions to assign the nearest available driver to a job, respond to incidents, or verify that a vehicle is where it should be — all from the web console or the Argus mobile app.
