22. A method of monitoring a route of a mobile transceiver, comprising:
-
determining by the mobile transceiver a location of the mobile transceiver using a satellite receiver; determining by the mobile transceiver whether the determined location deviates from a planned route comprising; determining whether the determined location is within a threshold distance of a waypoint of a travel itinerary defining the planned route, the travel itinerary comprising a plurality of waypoints including an origin, a destination, and a plurality of intermediate waypoints between the origin and the destination, wherein the travel itinerary specifies a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) coordinate for each of the waypoints in the travel itinerary, wherein the mobile transceiver determines that the determined location does not deviate from the planned route when the determined location is within the threshold distance, and wherein the mobile transceiver determines that the determined location deviates from the planned route when the determined location is outside of the threshold distance; and when the determined location is not within the threshold distance of a waypoint of the travel itinerary, determining, based on the determined location, whether the mobile transceiver is progressing towards the destination defined by the travel itinerary, wherein the mobile transceiver determines that the determined location does not deviate from the planned route when the mobile transceiver is progressing towards the destination, and wherein the mobile transceiver determines that the determined location deviates from the planned route when the mobile transceiver is not progressing towards the destination; sending an alert from the mobile transceiver to an asset tracking service in response to determining that the determined location deviates from the planned route, wherein the alert comprises an electronic message comprising information regarding the determined deviations from the planned route and the determined location. - View Dependent Claims (3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21, 23)

24. A mobile transceiver, comprising:
-
a processor; a satellite receiver coupled to the processor; and a cellular transceiver coupled to the processor; a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the mobile transceiver to; determine by the mobile transceiver a location of the mobile transceiver using the satellite receiver; determine by the mobile transceiver whether the determined location deviates from a planned route by; determining whether the determined location is within a threshold distance of a waypoint of a travel itinerary defining the planned route, the travel itinerary comprising a plurality of waypoints including an origin, a destination, and a plurality of intermediate waypoints between the origin and the destination, wherein the travel itinerary specifies a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) coordinate for each of the waypoints in the travel itinerary, wherein the mobile transceiver determines that the determined location does not deviate from the planned route when the determined location is within the threshold distance, and wherein the mobile transceiver determines that the determined location deviates from the planned route when the determined location is outside of the threshold distance; and when the determined location is not within the threshold distance of a waypoint of the travel itinerary, determining, based on the determined location, whether the mobile transceiver is progressing towards the destination defined by the travel itinerary, wherein the mobile transceiver determines that the determined location does not deviate from the planned route when the mobile transceiver is progressing towards the destination, and wherein the mobile transceiver determines that the determined location deviates from the planned route when the mobile transceiver is not progressing towards the destination; send an alert from the mobile transceiver to an asset tracking service in response to determining that the determined location deviates from the planned route, wherein the alert comprises an electronic message comprising information regarding the determined deviations from the planned route and the determined location.

25. A non-transitory machine readable medium having tangibly stored thereon executable instructions for execution by a processor of a mobile transceiver, the mobile transceiver comprising a memory, a satellite receiver, and a cellular transceiver each coupled to the processor, wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the mobile transceiver to:
-
determine by the mobile transceiver a location of the mobile transceiver using the satellite receiver; determine by the mobile transceiver whether the determined location deviates from a planned route by; determining whether the determined location is within a threshold distance of a waypoint of a travel itinerary defining the planned route, the travel itinerary comprising a plurality of waypoints including an origin, a destination, and a plurality of intermediate waypoints between the origin and the destination, wherein the travel itinerary specifies a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) coordinate for each of the waypoints in the travel itinerary, wherein the mobile transceiver determines that the determined location does not deviate from the planned route when the determined location is within the threshold distance, and wherein the mobile transceiver determines that the determined location deviates from the planned route when the determined location is outside of the threshold distance; and when the determined location is not within the threshold distance of a waypoint of the travel itinerary, determining, based on the determined location, whether the mobile transceiver is progressing towards the destination defined by the travel itinerary, wherein the mobile transceiver determines determined that the determined location does not deviate from the planned route when the mobile transceiver is progressing towards the destination, and wherein the mobile transceiver determines that the determined location deviates from the planned route when the mobile transceiver is not progressing towards the destination; send an alert from the mobile transceiver to an asset tracking service in response to determining that the determined location deviates from the planned route, wherein the alert comprises an electronic message comprising information regarding the determined deviations from the planned route and the determined location.
