Mapopolis.Com Inc. announced the immediate availability of Major Roads Maps, which can be used to generate cross-state and cross-country routes.
Truck drivers and fleets can use the Major Roads Maps to guide them on their journey, nationwide, with turn-by-turn, address-to-address directions.
The new release works with Mapopolis' Viewer for the Palm OS and Pocket PC platforms. The new software is available at www.mapopolis.com in conjunction with Mapopolis Navigator ($99.95), Platinum ($34.95) and Platinum +GPS ($44.95) subscriptions.
"Now you can tour the country," said Jeremy Straub, vice president of Mapopolis. "Previously, we were focusing on in-region navigation; this new release marks our entrance into the long-distance routing market."
Providing long-distance routing enables the company to better serve its existing customers and attract new customers whose needs would not have been completely met without the long-distance capability.
The entire solution is PDA-based. There is no need to limit the journey by downloading only a corridor of data surrounding your intended route. As all of the routing occurs right on the PDA, users can change their route numerous times throughout their trip without needing to reconnect to a desktop or to the Internet to generate new routes or get a new corridor of data.
Simply load the Major Roads Maps for any states that you want to route through, then load the county maps for your origin and destination. The PDA now contains all of the information needed.
Founded in 1999, Mapopolis.Com Inc. offers mapping and navigation software for PDAs and other portable devices. Building upon the original release of Mapopolis for Palm OS in 1999 which was limited to locating streets and intersections, the company has expanded to offer a full line of products.
