VOLS, it is based on PREVIOUS deliveries for that particular address. Depends on what is in the DATABASE for that address. Probably 99% of the time, unless you deliver a stop somewhere else it will be right. Also, if it is not in your EDD list and in YOUR DIAD that day, it will not be able to make a match and will therefore show the stop to be neutral.
I don't know how often the DIAD updates the GPS info. I've seen this quite a few times, scan a stop and get the annoying red warning. Do the steps to DR or record signature and when I stop complete it goes green before I'm thrown back to the magical listing in EDD. BTW. nothing more annoying then getting like 15 stops in a row with all red targets. Makes the DIAD wish it was a frisbee.

Not just annoying, it's embarassing. People are staring at you. It sounds like you're stealing a car.
THEN you have to explain how your superior UPS technology is telling you you're at the wrong house, when you're not.

That is NOT GPS.
That is sort of what I tried to explain. It (the GPS part of it) recognizes where you are now according to LAT/LONG and compares that to what is in the DATABASE and then makes the decision on address match and the delivery stop. I have had a few stops this week that I haven't had since EDD has been in affect and it doesn't recognize those stops because it hasn't been recorded in the DATABASE yet. I'll bet the next time I go back it will be. The boards now are GPS tracked so that this system will work. I was shown a few weeks back on how to get to this GPS screen. All it shows is that it is activated and does show your current LAT/LONG position. That is how they are recording the correct delivery points. I think you go to the COMM screen and then choose the num 8, which is not a SHOWN option and you can pull that screen up.
It's really not that hard to figure out. I'll bet the day is coming where your route will be on a DELIVERY AREA MAP at your center and they will be able to do a real time track on you. They can do it now, but it is not a REAL TIME track.
