Vehicular telematics device with voltage sensor-predicated GPS reciever activation

摘要

A vehicle-status-evaluating device is operable to distinguishably sense between inactive-vehicle and active-vehicle states and includes a power-switch operable to selectively power-up an associated vehicular device in response to a vehicle-status-evaluating device sensed active-vehicle state. An on-board, battery-powered telematics device, a telematics system, and a telematics display and a related method are included.
