There's an interesting challenge for you, how to get said data from the truck to the depot in real time, Mobile phone; not too much coverage once you are out of a populated area,HF radio; sure it would be possible to transmit data but it would be slow, satelite; what happens when the truck is parked under a servo roof, or an overpass etc.
There are many technical obsticles to overcome before this technology would work for an aplication such as speed detection.

Regards,
Tote

My bad. It's not a real time data feed.
It updates to the base once a day I believe. So surely it would have enough coverage once a day to upload the data.
It records all the happenings during that day, and sends it back to the base at a stage during the day, for the boss to review in the morning.
Cheers

Ahhh, that makes sense, I wasn't having a go, I was mostly pointing out how any sort of speed limiter based on GPS would have lots of technical issues to overcome.
