Abstract:
A system includes location detectors and a server. The location detectors are supported by respective vehicles that are for sale on a dealership lot. Each detector detects its location and wirelessly transmits location data indicating the location. The server receives the transmitted location data from each detector, and maintains a database of each vehicle's location in accordance with associated detector's location. The server receives selection criteria from a mobile communication device. The server selects a vehicle from among the vehicles based on the selection criteria. The server transmits the location of the selected vehicle to the communication device.
