Server based car navigation for delivery fleets

Hi

I'm interested to know if anyone knows of server based navigation system or
knows of a company that can develop such a sytem for us. What I have in
mind is a system where the driver of the car phones his call centre and
tells them where he wants to go. His GPS coordinates is also uploaded
wirelessly at the same time to the call centre using GPRS or some simliliar
technology. The operator at the call centre enters the destination address
into a computer which then calculates a set of routing instructions to
download back to the car. The routing instructions is then conveyed to
the driver as normal voice prompts just like any other navigation system in
conjunction with a GPS system in the car. The advantage is a much less
complicated and expensive navigation system required in the car. There is
no need for a display inside the car... just synthesised voice prompts
should be sufficient.

We prefer finding an exsisting solution if it already exists, but will also
consider having such a system especially developed to suit our needs.
Please let me know what you think of the concept or if you know of a company
already offering this kind of solution.
