XATA Corporation is now shipping a significant addition to navigation capabilities within its two main fleet operations products, XATANET and MobileMax. Leveraging CoPilot Truck by ALK Technologies, the enhanced navigation system provides turn-by-turn directions, voice prompts, and graphical maps that better help drivers complete their routes safely and more efficiently.

Drivers can sometimes be unfamiliar with certain routes, new to an area, or forced to deal with traffic, construction, and other unplanned obstacles, all of which force them to shift their attention from driving to navigation. XATA's fleet operations software, integrated with ALK's CoPilot Truck, provides mapping and turn-by-turn directions that help drivers better manage these situations.

The navigation function within XATANET integrates with back-office routing and dispatching applications. By interfacing XATA's fleet management systems with ALK's CoPilot Truck, each XATANET and MobileMax will put everything drivers need at their fingertips.

The new XATA navigation solution provides users an interactive, onboard navigation with text-to-speech directions, graphical indicators, and a large moving-map format.
