Prophesy Transportation Software introduces myMile.com, an online version of it's industry-leading mileage and routing software.

MyMile will then provide the user with fully printable driving directions, complete with toll information, road restrictions, total miles per state, total drive time, and total trip distance. There is no limit to the number of trips, which can be run, and absolutely no fees involved. Once registered, frequent users will be able to personalize mile.com to suit their specific needs, with customized stock quotes, weather, and news appearing on the home page in a fashion similar to My Excite or My Yahoo.
