guidance to your selected destination. This series of driving instructions are
delivered to your Global Positioning System (GPS)-enabled cell phone.
The PC*MILER|Mobile solution transforms GPS, data capable mobile phones into
in-vehicle personal navigation assistants that guide drivers to their next stop over
truck drivable streets and roads.
The PC*MILER|Mobile Web-based driver tracking system enables dispatchers to
send new delivery locations via their phones and to track any number of vehicles on a
map. The operation center can efficiently assign loads or jobs, respond to emergency
pickups, and inform customers of real-time arrival information.
PC*MILER|Mobile provides drivers with turn-by-turn spoken directions, and
delivers automatic re-routing almost instantly when a driver goes off route. Route
guidance instructions are provided as audible prompts and on-screen text and
graphics. Drivers will never have to look at a map again!
Drivers using PC*MILER|Mobile can employ two convenient ways to select a
destination. You can:
•
Log onto the PC*MILER|Mobile Destination Center Web site at
http://www.pcmilermobile.com
select a hotel, restaurant, truck stop, or other destination.
•
Enter a destination address into PC*MILER|Mobile using the i88s/i58sr phone
keypad or select an existing address.
The PC*MILER|Mobile equipped GPS-enabled i88s/i58sr can be used just like any
other cell phone. The iDEN handset cannot transfer phone data and packet data at
the same time. When a network-enabled application is transmitting packet data, the
phone services will be blocked. Packet data service will incur charges to the account.
This document covers the options available when you select PC*MILER|Mobile on
the Java Applications screen and press the button under RUN. It also describes the
features available on the PC*MILER|Mobile Destination Center Web site.

States and Canada
•
13'6" height, 80,000 lbs. weight and 53'/102" trailer restrictions
