CoPilot Truck Optimized by Qualcomm

ALK Technologies Inc. has unveiled its CoPilot Truck Optimized by Qualcomm navigation solution. The solution is designed to operate on Qualcomm Inc.'s Mobile Computing Platform (MCP) 200 and 110. A fully on-board navigation solution, CoPilot Truck calculates optimal, truck-specific routes without using mobile communications and off-board computations. It also provides constant access to reliable on-board highway and street maps.

CoPilot Truck combines ALK's CoPilot Truck commercial truck GPS navigation solution, PC*MILER routing, and Qualcomm's In-Motion User Interface (IMUI) design while also providing text-to-speech functionality. The solution automatically generates voice-guided and truck-specific turn-by-turn directions. CoPilot Truck will instantly calculate a new route if a driver misses a turn or goes off his or her planned route.

CoPilot Truck uses up-to-date, street-level ALK Digital Maps of the United States and Canada, enhanced with PC*MILER truck-specific attributes and millions of points of interest, including truck services, truck stops, rest areas, and weigh stations. All of these are stored on-board the MCP200 and MCP110 devices. This driver-centric navigation solution delivers routes based on custom vehicle profiles, routing parameters, and load-specific information.

Advanced navigation features include clear two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and Driver Safety guidance views with real signpost information and lane markings and detailed voice instructions using text-to-speech technology to pronounce full street names. Clearly displayed automatic alerts appear on-screen to warn the driver of upcoming potential hazards. CoPilot Truck's voice-guided navigation improves driver safety by providing "hands free" truck-legal directions.
