Humpty you are welcome for the support. I see to much of this happening in the US. Many companies here are implementing this type of system in the company for this fact.

Money they lose money when a sales person is off track or sleeping when they are to be working.

1) Frequent use: If use less, then go for inexpensive ones that can fit in car glove apartment, but are not user friendly. Also, check out budget as systems with maps/monitors are complicated and take time and money.

2) Layout of car: As GPS that come with monitor require some kind of installation, that may not be easy. Generally, installed on dashboard/pedestal from dashboard.

3) Features: Multiple ways to reach a destination, like address/location selected directly from map. Should also be able to give vocal (via head unit/radio), graphical directions (via a map and monitor wherein arrows indicate the present position).

4) Data displayed: Select one that offers data of your interest, like locations of airports, ATMs/banks, restaurants/hotels etc, which many systems include and the same to be updated easily.

5) Ensure that installation is done by authorised person as warranty may become invalid.

Well, seems to me that if a boss wanted to do that to their employee then they would have to have permission from the employees first, because that can be considered as an invasion as privacy. No way the employees would let their boss do that. At least I don't think they would. On another note, I used a hand held GPS system the other day and it's pretty nice. It tells you right where to turn and if you don't know where your going it really helps out alot. The only problem is when you go places with construction, the GPS usually can't detect that. It tends to get confusing because the roads are different..
