Global Positioning System (GPS)

Angel Worldwide employs tracking solutions from Omatics utilizing high speed wireless technology and satellite based Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to obtain vehicle location and velocity information.

Dispatch personnel always know where each vehicle in our fleet is located and their exact location thereby enabling the dispatch team with the ability to make up-to-the-moment vehicle management decisions that have an immediate positive immediate impact on our customers.

These GPS Systems display the displays locations of vehicles in real-time on multiple maps at different zoom levels. The dispatcher can easily zoom to the surrounding area to see which vehicles are in the vicinity for last minute ASAP request for a service. The System also log all vehicle locations and events. Any log can be recalled to display the activities of any vehicle, group of vehicles, or all vehicles during a specified time interval.

These systems provide our Dispatch Office with real time vehicle status and location. With 45-plus vehicles on the roads at any given time, the Angel Worldwide dispatch team can monitor the speed of traffic flow on virtually every major freeway and divert drivers away from congestion problems on a moment's notice. "This saves time, fuel and money but most importantly, we serve our customers better."

Live lighter.

A healthier planet and a healthier lifestyle are important to all of us. Here are some tips to get you started.

What You Can Do For the Environment

Want to be environmentally conscious and reduce your footprint on the earth? Start small. Think big.

Because when we all do a little, it can add up to a lot.


• What can you recycle? Plenty! Contact your local town hall to find out about recycling programs in your community. See a whole list.
• Do you drive to work? See if your city has a Park and Ride, or post a carpool note in your local community center.
• Want to calculate your impact on the environment? See your footprint at Earthlab.
• Brushing your teeth? Always turn off the water until you need to rinse. You’ll save water (and maybe even hear the phone ring).
• Have a green thumb? Whether you have an acre or a small piece of land, become one with the environment by planting your own tree. Watch it flourish as the years go by.
• Running a quick errand or work near your home? Forgo your car, strap on a helmet and feel the breeze while riding a bike.




What You Can Do For You

• Get active. Head outside! Our country is filled with natural wonders. Find great ways to explore and enjoy the great outdoors.
• Take 15. We can get so caught up at work that lunch hour means unwrapping a sandwich at your keyboard. Even if it’s just for 15 minutes, get outside and breathe in the fresh air.
• Toss around a real ball. For one weekend, don’t get caught up in video games or "the big game" on TV. Instead, head to the backyard or Local Park and try playing a real sport with a friend or loved one. After the competition (and you) heat up, replenish with cold, refreshing water.
• Consider switching some of those sugary beverages out for refreshing, cold water. In fact, drinking water instead of three sweetened drinks a week could save a staggering 6,084 grams of sugar over a year. That amounts to over 24,000 calories, and in a child, about seven pounds of weight!

Swine Flu Travel Fears: What Vacationers Should Know

Like the airline industry wasn’t having enough problems before the swine flu fears set in.

First it was soaring fuel costs. Then a global travel downturn. Now worldwide fears over the H1N1 virus, né swine flu, have put pressure on the ailing airlines to improvise even as no health organization or government has formally announced travel restrictions or recommendations against flying, despite what Vice President Biden May think.

The Centers for Disease Control has issued a travel advisory for Mexico, however, advising Americans to postpone any non-essential travel to that country.

But if you’ve got a trip planned for Mexico already booked, all hope is not lost. Most domestic carriers have adjusted their rules to allow you to change or cancel the trip without paying the normal fees, says New York Times travel columnist Michelle Higgins. Additionally, some hotels are being flexible and allowing guests to postpone their stays or giving full refunds instead.

One option being considered by many Mexican-bound vacationers is changing their trip to similar but swine-flu-free locales like Hawaii or the Bahamas. Because of low demand, finding lodging is still possible in these places, Higgins says.

The problem? Also because of already low demand, some airlines are slashing their flights to the Caribbean and Hawaii. If you do find a flight and decide to switch up your plans, Higgins advises booking the trip now. As more travelers trade in their Mexico vacays, hotels and resorts in other destinations are likely to increase their rates in order to the catch the windfall from the shift in demand.
