[QUOTE="freecarry88, post: 683883, member: 28233"] [HTML]As I recall, you are correct. All they are doing is trying to measure walk distances. They look at a satellite image and put a mark at the car park location and at the delivery location. The distance between them is walk distance. They will look at the GPS reading of Scan, Sig, Stop Complete to see where you were and then move the points. (I honestly don't remember if they use the DIAD 1 second readings or not.) The key is that they move the points to reflect where you park and walk to. It may be worth asking the local IE guy to show you. Its really a very nice system. P-Man[/HTML] They are not actually marking the true walk path like the timestudies of a few years ago. It is straight line to front door from midpoint of the street/road. There is a factor that compensates for the obvious difference, based on class of walk 1,2, etc....
