This new display is an addition for PacLease’s PacTrac telematics system that utilizes GPS technology, a network of more than 100 wireless carriers, and an Internet connection to deliver real-time data directly from the vehicles, according to the Web site www.trucknews.com.

The new upgrade is designed to provide a new, intuitive interface for drivers.

In the near future, PacTrac BLU will deliver spoken, turn-by-turn directions, which are simultaneously shown on a moving map display. New stops and other changes can be made to routes in real time. Going forward, PacTrac BLU will support text-to-speech applications that will enable drivers to hear text messages in an easily understood voice and multiple languages according to PacLease.

The PacTrac system was developed exclusively for PacLease by PeopleNet.

BLU will be available before the end of 2007. Many partner applications will be available early in 2008.
