The Telematics Update Awards 2004, running alongside the biggest telematics focused conference and exhibition of the year -- Telematics Update Detroit 2004, last night announced winners of each category at its gala dinner.
The Telematics Update Awards program recognizes companies and individuals for their outstanding performance and achievements in categories such as leadership, innovation and true excellence in their field.
