CoPilot_Truck_11.jpg

ALK Technologies just announced the launch of CoPilot Truck 11, a GPS navigation and trip-planning solution that runs on Windows-based laptops. This particular program is designed for company drivers and owner-operators, and features "dock to dock" truck-specific spoken directions throughout the U.S. and Canada. In other words, you tell it what kind of truck you're driving, and it makes sure that whatever route it tells you is compatible with your truck's height, length, and weight—great for avoiding that nasty sardine-can effect when a low overpass peels the roof off your trailer.

The company claims that the new version is completely redesigned, with step-by-step address entry and 2D and 3D map views. An optional service lets fleets take advantage of a seamless connection to CoPilot Live FleetCenter, which provides multi-vehicle tracking, two-way messaging, and fleet management, mobile dispatch, and historical reports. For anyone leaving the semi at home, there's also the more sensible CoPilot Live 11 version for use in cars that weigh less than 80,000 pounds.
