[QUOTE="JustAnotherBody, post: 155547, member: 5843"] I keep hearing about GPS not being enabled because of the cost.. what are the costs of GPS... If I were to buy a GPS device, for my self totally un work related lets say i dont even work at ups, do I have to pay a montly service fee to use it? I understand UPS as a company will be using GPS more then I would on my own as an individual, so perhaps i.because they use it day in day out to monitor thousands of people they might have to pay a fee that a individual wouldn't? or a higher fee then a individual would pay because of the higher usage of the system/service/satalite... If the software is already in the DIAD why does it cost more to activate? Is this in reference to the cost of setting up Center of Future managment with new computers to monitor the system? or is the cost creating new managment positons to monitor the system? Does UPS have to either LEASE a share of a GPS satalites (from what I understand of GPS it takes 3 seperate satalites to pinpoint location..) or does UPS have to actually buy/build/launch their own GPS satalites? i used to hear it cost money for ups to msg with the diad too but havn't heard about that in years so perhaps everythign I heard about the cost of UPS is just smoke being blown up my kilt (I deliver in scotland we have brown kilts) [/QUOTE]
