WayPoint(TM) GPS Helps Drivers Get From Point A-B Safely and Efficiently

ORLANDO, Fla., March 15 /-- In the fleet industry, time is money. Using a GPS navigation system for optimized routing can shave time off every stop, leading to huge savings.

That's one of the reasons FleetBoss Global Positioning Solutions, Inc., based in Fern Park, FL., is now offering the fleet industry Mobile Crossing's WayPoint GPS for both in-vehicle and hand-held navigation. The WayPoint is a complete navigation system that features optimized routing, vehicle logging, real-time traffic and weather reports, turn-by-turn spoken directions, complete area and national maps, and the ability to hold entire regions of the United States on-board without any additional memory cards.

"According to Newport Communications Group (2004), 22 percent of fleets in the United States consist of over 500 vehicles per fleet. If using a WayPoint navigation system saves 10 minutes per day per vehicle, the return-on- investment savings in billable hours is substantial," said Brian Carroll, President of FleetBoss. "The addition of an advanced GPS system like the WayPoint will give fleet drivers a technology edge that will help them be more productive and efficient."

"The WayPoint gives drivers tremendous flexibility. The GPS can be unplugged and data collection modules can be easily used with the WayPoint," said Calvin Chu, Product Manager for Mobile Crossing, based in Sunnyvale, CA. "For some fleets, it's helpful to have a fully Windows Mobile-compatible handheld device like the WayPoint for running field applications."

Among the features of the WayPoint is real-time proximity alerts, which are pop up messages that notify the driver of nearby points of interest, such as gas stations, and a text-to-speech module that reads street names aloud. The WayPoint is fully compatible with CompactFlash based bar code, magnetic stripe and RFID scanners.

The WayPoint is also a personal organizer since it has PDA capabilities built-in. It also includes Mobile Crossing's award winning Bluetooth GPS.

The WayPoint comes with a vehicle kit with integrated charger, amplified speakers and a desktop charger USB cradle. It also has a full-color moving navigation maps on a bright touch screen display that is intuitive and readable in day light as well as low glare night conditions.
