For the technical minded
:
The system is coded towards
Microsofts ’.net’ platform. Data is NOT saved in a database or closed file-format. This mean that
you are NOT lost, if you will look at the data in another way. Data is saved in
the open XML-format and can be opened in a ordinary
Browser or even from a common office-package like Microsofts
Word. In this way it will be possible for other people to build reporting tools,
which can produce smart reports on top of these vehicles data, should this
program become popular. Everything is possible when
data are OPEN !!
