GUI for mapping web services

Fleets accessing PC*Miler routing and map data over the Internet have a new graphical user interface (GUI) that allows them to view mileage, toll costs, driving directions and other information directly from any web browser, according to developer ALK Technologies.

Previous, PC*Miler Web Services were delivered only in XML, allowing users to program integrated mapping data on their own systems using application programming interfaces (APIs). The new HTML interface offers direct web browser access to the same data.

ALK’s web services are hosted on Tier 1 data center servers and incorporate all the features of its PC*Miler 23 truck routing and mapping application, according to the company.
