Manufactured by Exaktime, the PocketClock/GPS is a portable time and attendance tracking system. Using GPS technology, this software automatically record your worker’ location when they clock in and out. Unlike Time Cards, the PocketClock/GPS is more accurate for moving workers.

How does PocketClock/GPS work?

Your crews travel with a GPS-capable Windows Mobile PDA(1) loaded with PocketClock/GPS software. Using their individual PIN code, each worker can clock in and out and assign cost codes with just a few taps. PocketClock/GPS also enables Supervisors/Foremen to clock in for entire crews, saving time and further increasing accuracy. Whenever this happens, the PocketClock/GPS also records the GPS location – so you know that the clock in/clock out was done while the employee was on site.

Google introduced voice search on the Google Maps for some BlackBerry devices such as Pearl 8110, 8120, and 8130. This features allows users to locate businesses location by voice command instead of text command, but it works in the U.S. only.

Using your voice to search for businesses is super useful in situations when you can’t type, when the name of the business is long, or when you’re not sure how to spell it. In other situations — when you’re in a library or a rock concert, for example — typing makes more sense. Keeping that in mind, we designed this feature to allow you to choose whether to speak or type. Get it now on your BlackBerry Pearl by visiting http://m.google.com/maps on your mobile phone, or learn more here.
