ALK Technologies has introduced CoPilot Truck | Laptop 9, an enhanced version of its truck-specific, voice-guided navigation solution with the latest routing and map data. The company says it also has updated eMiler.com, its Web-based routing and mapping resource. Demonstrations of both products are available at ALK’s booth during the Great American Trucking Show in Dallas through Saturday, Aug. 26.
New features include updated 2006 PCMiler 20 map data, exportable state mileage reports for easier fuel tax reporting, and expanded hazmat routing options. CoPilot USB and Bluetooth GPS receivers now come with the SiRFstarIII chipset, which the company says speeds the acquisition of GPS satellite signals.
ALK says eMiler.com also delivers instant mileage for rate calculation, driver pay, fuel tax reporting, billing, load planning, auditing, bid preparation, carrier selection and lane analysis, as well as detailed driving directions and maps for dispatchers and drivers alike.
