Hi Nagu
 
Maptitude for the Web makes it very simple to create applications for fleet tracking.
 
I jsut finished a proposal for such an implementation.  I am not in a position to provide comments based  on hands on experience, until the project is approved and running.  However we have designed a map server based in MTW that retrieves positional and telemetry information from an SQL server database, and creates maps on demand.
 
Each mobile is equipped with a laptop , a GPS and a GMS cell phone. 
 
The areas where we need to track the fleet are not covered by a  Wi Fi service, so we are proposing to use MSM (short text messages sent from a cell phone) fropm the mobiles to the server every xxx minutes, with positioanal and telemetry infomration.  that information is stored in SQL server and retreived by Maptitude to generate maps when needed.  Operatosr access an ASP.NET page with all the web controls needed for navigating the map and perfomring queries.  If the mobiels require a map, isntead of sending an image we send a series of MSM (Since the mobiles are not connected to the internet ) with enough information to generate a map on an onboard laptop running Maptitude (or some other GIS or map viewer). 
 
For now, we will be using my own routing and drive time algortihms, written in DK, to be able to dispatch mobiles as needed. In the future, we will switch toi C# versions of the algorithms.
 
I can tell you that writing the specs for the map server and the mobile clients was a snap.  The hard part was to find the type of communications technology and GPS/ telemetry devices taht would be suitable to our area.
 
Good luck
 
Armando
