A recent article in ArcNews describes new GIS software that could help workers in the field move around more efficiently.
(ArcNews is a news magazine published quarterly for the ESRI user community and for others interested in mapping and geographic information system (GIS) technology.)
"Using ArcPad StreetMap, field-workers can easily locate addresses and quickly find the optimized route to them. Users can also create dynamic barriers to work immediately around construction zones, accident sites, and other undesirable locations. ArcPad StreetMap supports point-to-point, multipoint, and the perennial sales problem of determining the shortest routes to several locations. Trip management tools allow flexibility."

Also, navigator function in cell is really useful for driving some places, particularly, where traffic jam is serious. Cell enables us find better ways to drive by supporting eletronic maps.
