Upgraded XATANET software helps fleet operators increase vehicle
visibility. MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- XATA
Corporation (NASDAQ:XATA) today announced it will add improved
digital mapping software to its XATANET on-demand fleet operations
software. The upgraded mapping software will provide XATANET
end-users with more high-quality data, including larger and more
dynamic maps, to help better track exact vehicle location and
improve route details. Available in November 2008, the enhanced

deliver these improved capabilities by leveraging Microsoft(R)

up-to-the-minute vehicle tracking, ensuring that customers have
instant access to the most updated data on their vehicles. "We
ensure our products and services use the most advanced technology
available because we know it makes a difference to our customers,"
said Tom Flies, senior vice president, product management, XATA
Corporation. "With XATANET 4.3, we are delivering more intelligent
mapping capabilities, which translates to increased fleet
visibility and cost savings for all of our customers." XATANET 4.3
includes a new mapping user-interface that provides enhanced
ease-of-use benefits, such as keyboard shortcuts and real-time map
updates. Mapping enhancement highlights include: -- Draggable maps,
which enable users to quickly pan and see a broader view of the
highlighted geographical area, giving an enhanced view of a
vehicle's location. -- Increased customization, which allows users
to include information specific to delivery routes. -- Increased
map visibility, with the ability to show road detail, aerial
photographs, or both. -- Improved GPS positioning controls for more
