TruckStops® Routing System Version 2.4 Released

ARLINGTON, VA - November 15, 1999 -- MicroAnalytics announces the release of version 2.4 of TruckStops Routing and Scheduling System, which features expanded driving directions options and a new add-on tool, making the software more user-friendly and efficient than ever.

The new add-on tool included in TruckStops version 2.4 is a link to MileMaster, a road-networking package for the United Kingdom. Similar to TruckStops’ current interface with PC*MILER, TruckStops users in the U.K. can now access MileMaster seamlessly from within the routing program.

Users of the TruckStops/PC*MILER interface can now select which routes to display in the driving directions. Additionally, an increased number of stops in a TruckStops-generated route can be displayed in a PC*MILER map and in the PC*MILER driving directions. Another convenient flexibility feature allows user-generated driver instructions to be included in a route report.

Available for Windows® 95/98/NT, TruckStops can be used either dynamically, for scheduling vehicles on routes that change daily, or strategically, for planning and updating fixed delivery routes.
