Worthington,MIN,USA -Layover -15 May 2009: -- When Larry Proehl delivers temperature-sensitive cargo to new delivery locations on his regular route to the West Coast, he doesn't have to spend precious time looking for street signs and landmarks... The Smith Trucking driver already knows where he's going, thanks to the Kenworth GPS navigation system in his Kenworth T660. Proehl simply touches the screen on his Kenworth system to call up his next destination, and then listens to the system's turn-by-turn directions through his truck's sound system... By using the Kenworth GPS navigation system, which is standard on Kenworth Class 8 models with the Diamond cab interior, Proehl avoids driving out-of-route miles to make deliveries. The Kenworth system easily locates delivery addresses, multiple drop routes, Kenworth dealer locations, truck stops and other points of interest... Functions include routing, multiple route and waypoint selection and turn-by-turn voice commands.. (Photo: worktruckonline.com: Kenworth)
