Sometimes in the vehicle tracking industy you seem to get suspicious data that turns out to be somewhat innocent… Case in point – a client was looking at some data of one of their clients… One of the new reports lists the maximum speed and maximum average speed. This report gave a particular journey being 158 KM/H followed by a stop for five hours. My client almost sent a rather interesting email off to his client suggesting the boss look carefully at the driving practices of this person.

Well, thankfully he decided to plot the journey on a map – and found that the journey ended at a local hospital. Those sorts of speeds are cetainly more acceptable in order to get to the emergency room inside a hospital. Just knowing the speeds did not tell the story. In this case not even the suburbs that the journey started and stopped at told the story. It was the map that actually said something.
