ALK's CoPilot Truck on-board, truck-specific GPS navigation solution will be available to Qualcomm customers.


CoPilot Truck will be the standard navigation application on Qualcomm's new Mobile Computing Platform 50 and will be one of the navigation options available to fleets with the Mobile Computing Platform 110 and Mobile Computing Platform 200.

CoPilot Truck uses street-level ALK Digital Maps of the U.S. and Canada, which are enhanced with PC*Miler truck-specific attributes, to help cost-effectively reduce fuel expense and out-of-route mileage. CoPilot Truck provides drivers with optimal, truck-legal routes based on their vehicle profile information, routing parameters and load-specific information, including hazmat categories. It also offers a driver interface with spoken turn-by-turn directions and customization options.

Benefits available to Qualcomm customers include:

* Safe, accurate and truck-legal turn-by-turn navigation.

* Automatic avoidance of truck-restricted routes using customizable vehicle profiles that specify vehicle height, length, width and cargo type.

* Route categories including Practical, Shortest, National Network, 53' Trailer and Toll Avoidance.

* Load-specific routing with 30 hazmat road classes and categories.

* Clearly displayed route restrictions with recognizable warning symbols.

* Driver alerts about upcoming hazards, visual and spoken in-route alerts and instant detour options.

* Millions of ioints of interest, including truck-specific categories like truck services, truckstops, rest areas, Cat scales and weigh stations.

* Operational consistency with PC*Miler customers' driver pay, rating, billing and fuel tax reporting practices.
