My name is Louis Alexander, and I want to thank you for stopping by my website. I have an active family that consists of my wife Janice, our three children, two dogs, three horses, and me. We needed not only a truck that could tow, but also one that would comfortably seat my family. We are on the road for many hours when traveling to horse shows or on camping trips. We needed a new vehicle. One that would be capable of towing our horse trailer and travel trailer. I did a great deal of research online before venturing out to test drive trucks. I learned a lot about tow capabilities and capacities. I also discovered some differences between trucks that ran on diesel and gasoline. I’m going to share some of the information I found out about trucks and hope you find it of value.
Do you like to travel off the beaten path? If so, you could end up in a situation where you are in need of an automotive tow while exploring unfamiliar territory. In this situation, the simple question of where your vehicle is currently located may prove to be not so easy to answer. Thankfully, there are a few ways you can go about determining your exact location, even if you don't have the first clue as to where you are.
Put Your Vehicle's Navigation System To Work
If you are driving a late model vehicle, there is a good chance that your vehicle is equipped with a navigation system. The good news is, not only can this system help you to find local attractions, it can also help a tow truck to find you.
In order to use your navigation system to pinpoint your location, begin by accessing the option to explore the area around you. The purpose of this feature is to allow you to find places of interest in your current location, such as retail stores and restaurants. Once you have accessed this option, your navigation system should bring up a map with your current location in the center of it. By zooming in on your current location, you will be able to identify nearby streets and landmarks that can assist the tow truck driver in finding you and your vehicle.
Tap Into The Power Of A Mobile GPS Signal
If you are carrying a smartphone or tablet at the time your vehicle becomes disabled, identifying your exact location can be easier than you ever imagined. This is because all new mobile devices come equipped with a mobile GPS signal that can be tracked. The original purpose of this feature was to allow first responders to locate you when reporting an emergency via your mobile phone. However, this feature is now being used to power many mobile apps, such as car service apps.
Car service apps are offered by many towing companies. These mobile applications allow you to request an automotive tow via your smartphone or other mobile device. When using these apps, the towing company will have the ability to access your phone's GPS signal. This signal allows them to track your exact location even when you are unable to provide them with an address or landmark.
Many interactive apps will also allow you to track the location of the tow truck that is dispatched to your location. This will allow you to know exactly when help is scheduled to arrive. If you're looking for a tow truck company in your area, contact Country City Towing.
