Burlington, MA -
May 1, 2008 - Maptuit Corporation, a leader in commercial navigation, location based service, real-time
traffic information and vehicle tracking solutions, today announced that its Maptuit
NaviGo™ service has been nominated for the 2008 “Best Telematics Service &
Application for Commercial Vehicles Award”. The winner will be announced on May 20th during the 8th
Annual Telematics Update Conference in Detroit Michigan.
Maptuit NaviGo service is a two–way connected, real–time,
hybrid navigation solution that is able to use satellite, cellular or wi–fi
communication modes. NaviGo’s algorithmic advantage allows the mobile
communication unit to host on–board maps, while all commercial routing is calculated
on Maptuit’s vast server farm. This advanced hybrid solution delivers NaviGo users
the most accurate and up–to–date, truck specific directions and real–time navigation.
NaviGo integrates into the dispatch system in order to improve operational
efficiencies. Once integrated, dispatchers can send planned pick up or delivery
routes directly to the mobile communication units, prompting the driver to
simply choose his or her next planned stop. All NaviGo data changes & software
updates take place over–the–air, keeping trucks on the road and our customers’
business moving forward.
“This nomination is an acknowledgement of our vision and the future of commercial
telematics” stated Rick Turek, Chief Technology Officer for Maptuit. “We have a great team of Win–CE and Win–XP
partners like PeopleNet, DriverTech, Geologic Cadec and Qualcomm, all of which represent
a paradigm shift and whom without, this nomination would not be possible –
Partners like these, allow for innovative real–time products like NaviGo to be
an effective solution to technology driven and quality proven companies”.
