Royal Mail gets itself a CoPilot

Microsoft’s Windows Mobile platform has received a boost with the announcement the Royal Mail is rolling out a customised version of ALK’s CoPilot Live Professional satnav onto 25,000 of its GPS-enabled Intermec CN3 handsets.
The software will enable Royal Mail drivers to take the most efficient route to their destination and also enable customers to see the position of their tracked products in near real-time. This feature will be available to Special Delivery and Recorded Signed For items.
The 25,000 Windows Mobile devices are GPS enabled Intermec CN3 handsets and CoPilot Live Professional will be fully integrated with its on-board job despatch, management and proof of delivery application, Delivery Connect, from Blackbay.
The Delivery Connect system has a button which launches CoPilot, which is then automatically populated with the address details of the destination. On arrival at the destination, the navigation system reverts back to the Delivery Connect for signature capture and proof of delivery.
