Abstract
The present invention utilizes a combination of local area networks and hard-wired wide area networks which communicate with mobile units wirelessly. An alternate embodiment uses a hard wired communication from a mobile unit to a base computer. The wireless local area network is comprised of a base computer unit connected wirelessly to single or multiple mobile units while also being connected to a hard-wired wide area network (such as the internet). The base unit either stores or routes packet data to a wide area network super router that, in turn, routes packets to the base unit computer where the packet data should ultimately reside. The present invention utilizes integrated software and hardware apparatus to identify, track and report tax-deductible vehicle travel routes including actual mileage, stops and routes driven.
