Abstract
A portable hand-held device (20) has a camera (102) for use by a professional truck driver while on the road to allow pictures taken to be transmitted via a transceiver of the device through a cellular telephone network to an Internet site that is linked with the telephone network and that can be securely accessed via the Internet from a personal computer at the driver's home. Pictures from home can be uploaded to the site and when one is, an alert is issued to the driver. The device also includes a GPS (132) for enabling the site to display travel of the driver on a map.
