Do you need to quickly locate business meetings, get door-to-door driving
directions with detailed interactive street-level maps and then be personally
guided with the accuracy of GPS navigation assistance?
GPS Pilot TripPilot™ is YOUR solution: TripPilot™ is an itinerary
browser to locate addresses and plan routes. TripPilot™ allows web
requests directly from a Palm Powered™ device and generates personal
road itineraries. Then, TripPilot™ offers several views of the requested
itinerary. A route overview GPS enabled map displays the entire trip while
the detailed view contains written directions plus mini geo-coded maps
describing every turn. Then on the road, TripPilot™ adds the value
of Global Positioning navigation assistance. The GPS icons show position
and move directly on the maps to provide real-time travel assistance.
There is no more need to pre-plan your trip and overload your handheld
memory with large amounts of information on the traveled area. TripPilot™
offers the ultimate way to quickly access on-line personalized, accurate
and up-to-date routing information, anywhere at anytime.
TripPilot™ navigation solution comprises:
- On demand itineraries and maps downloads from the Internet, even on
the road through wireless device and cellular phone. Web connectivity
required only for route download; navigation may be operated without
a wireless connection.

town and road levels
