On the driver side (running on the GPS device - I'm thinking
touchscreen) the mapping software would provide driver directions
visually and possibly audibly - just like a Navigation device e.g.
TomTom - but with a few custom buttons etc on it to let the driver
send info back to the server.
For some jurisdictions, the "GPS Device" would need
to be able to respond to voice commands, rather than
the driver having to use "buttons". For example, new
legislation here in BC that took effect January 1st
says about GPS navigation systems:
"It can be programmed in a voice-activated manner"
