1 août 1996 - The public use of GPS

Description:

It was President “Bill Clinton” in 1996 who eventually launched the GPS tracking devices into the public domain. Previously, GPS had only been used for military purposes. GPS was introduced into public policy around this time, finally becoming available to the public. Fleet managers were now able to purchase GPS tracking devices for their fleet. However, technology at this point was rather dated. It was also extremely expensive. It would take several more years before GPS became an affordable and viable solution for fleet managers.
