The question is: what do you want to do with the GPS? Is the company moving all the time? Please explain.

We also met with this - usually, integration is needed to automatically import how much kilometres did the trucks go.

Most GPS systems use an SQL database, so basically the integration would be to export text files and import them.

If you have a SQL Server database for the GPS data, you can also create a SQL view into the database from the Navision SQL database and link a Navision table to it and write functionality to process information that way.

You could also write functionality that sends data into Navision through a message queue, or expand on the commerce gateway functionality and hook it up to Biztalk.

It all depends on what your requirements are, what type of volume you're looking at, what the scale of your system is. You should probably get a solution center involved to analyze these requirements in more detail. It is certainly possible to come up with an integrated system.

That means new tables in the licence - that costs money.

Hey nothing is free in this world 8) and everyone needs to earn a living.

Besides, with your suggestion you need dataport objects, and those are not free either. I'm not saying it is a bad solution, I was simply making some suggestions.
