.......... Introduction
Overview
PC*MILER®Mobile is a portable navigation system that provides step-by-step voice guidance to your selected destination. This series of driving instructions are delivered to your Global Positioning System (GPS)-enabled cell phone.
The PC*MILERMobile solution transforms GPS, data capable mobile phones into in-vehicle personal navigation systems that guide drivers to their next stop over truck drivable streets and roads.
The PC*MILERMobile Web-based driver tracking system enables dispatchers to send new delivery locations via their phones and to track any number of vehicles on a map. The operation center can efficiently assign loads or jobs, respond to emergency pickups, and inform customers of real-time arrival information.
PC*MILERMobile provides drivers with turn-by-turn spoken directions, and delivers automatic re-routing almost instantly when a driver goes off route. Route guidance instructions are provided as audible prompts and on-screen text and graphics. Drivers will never have to look at a map again!
Drivers using PC*MILERMobile can employ two convenient ways to select a destination. You can:
•Log onto the PC*MILERMobile Destination Center Web site at http://www.pcmilermobile.com and enter a specific address or search for and select a hotel, restaurant, truck stop, or other destination.
•Enter a destination address into PC*MILERMobile using the i88s/i58sr phone keypad or select an existing address.
The PC*MILERMobile equipped GPS-enabled i88s/i58sr can be used just like any other cell phone. The iDEN handset cannot transfer phone data and packet data at the same time. When a network-enabled application is transmitting packet data, the phone services will be blocked. Packet data service will incur charges to the account.
This document covers the options available when you select PC*MILERMobile on the Java Applications screen and press the button under RUN. It also describes the features available on the PC*MILERMobile Destination Center Web site.
PC*MILERMobile uses ALK Technologies’ proprietary truck-specific digital map data, which includes:
•Comprehensive street-level coverage of the United States and Canada
•13’6” height, 48’ length, and 80,000 lbs. weight restrictions
•Hazmat and 53’/102” trailer restrictions
