    What features does Millis include with the Qualcomm units. I know about elog and dispatch communications. But does the system include GPS navigation? If not, any navigational assistance?

    No navi use on the Qcomm but the feature is on the new ones just not turned on. You can send a macro 35 on most customers to get directions that other drivers have put in, but sometimes those are wrong and haven't been updated. Mainly its up to you to get to where you are going. I think thats a good thing no forced routing, just you know don't take I 80 to I 81 to I 77 to I 40 to US 29 to get to Eden from Milwaukee, they don't like that. True story had a driver in Richfield said he took that route cause the Interstate is always quicker.

    Well I like to use a combination of GPS, Atlas, and company info. I run GPS and check it with the Atlas and use company info for local details.
