  1. Thanks for the effort, Boris. You do a decent job describing GPS Insight, but that description can be made clearer. After reading your product summary, I'm still not sure that I understand all "the functionality, features, and benefits of GPS Insight."

    I also see that you focus on comparing GPS Insight with Marcus Fleet Tracking. But on what basis are you comparing? You need a sort of step by step comparison made for us readers to really grasp the differences.

    As far as your organization goes, I also feel that your essay lacks focus because you don't present a clear stand. Ultimately, how do you think these two products compare? Which should I buy? Why?

    Before you write your final draft, please look at the unit on outlining ideas. Your organization of ideas needs to be much clearer.

    Here are other issues you need to review:

    1) In the article “GPS Insight Can Meet ‘Out-of-The-Box’ Requirements”, it introduces the functionality, features, and benefits of GPS Insight, which primarily provides “asset and vehicle tracking solutions”. >>> (incorrect citation convention)
    CORRECT:
    The article “GPS Insight Can Meet ‘Out-of-The-Box’ Requirements” introduces ....
    OR:
    In the article “GPS Insight Can Meet ‘Out-of-The-Box’ Requirements”, the functionality, features, and benefits of GPS Insight, which primarily provides “asset and vehicle tracking solutions”, are introduced.

    2) The article also stated... >>> (inconsistent verb tense usage: your first verb is in present tense)

    3) the features of GPS Insight are “configurable and customizable” >>> I wonder what those features actually are. What can be customized and what can be configured?

    4) Does GPS Insight meet ‘Out-of-The-Box’ requirements? >>> This is a rhetorical question. That seems conversational. It would be better just to present a statement: GPS Insight meets ‘Out-of-The-Box’ requirements in several ways.

    5) to a large extend >>> (spelling) to a large extent

    6) GPS insight are designed / GPS Insight collect >>> (subject verb disagreement)

    7) data real time that users could be updated >>> (wrong verb form)

    8) In an article on "The Evolution of Telematics" (Lauren Fletcher& Grace Suizo, February 2011). >>> (sentence fragment: incomplete sentence)

    9) (Lauren Fletcher& Grace Suizo, February 2011). >>> (incorrect in-text citation convention)

    10) Besides reducing the costs incurred by fuel usage and cost, it also shortens the time frame when the vehicle is stationary. >>> How does this product shorten the time frame that a vehicle is stationary? You need to explain. What makes this relevant in a comparison to GPS Insight?

    11) Which will keep users constantly updated at a desired speed with the results they wanted. >>> (fragment)

    12) One of the example >>> one of X, X must be plural, i.e. one of the boys, one of the products

    13) products that wasnt mention >>> VERY SLOPPY LANGUAGE USE: subject-verb disagreement, spelling error, and wrong verb form

    14) all of them serves

    15) the same purpose which >>> (punctuation)

    16) Your citation reference list items are not in APA style.

    Let's work on this.
