[QUOTE="2years2go, post: 753226, member: 10008"] I believe Microsoft Map Point is being used. Very similar to Google Earth. Yes they use the same day as your stop classification report. To measure the distances, a tool is provided within the software that will measure the distance between any two points. The person developing the measurement will take each of your residential stops, locate them on the map, click at the center of the street and then at the front of the house. The distance is measured by those two clicks. I would estimate that someone skilled at doing this can work through a drivers day in about 1 to 2 hours. ( Keep in mind, when UPS used to do time studies on road, the walk distances were much less accurate. walks were broken down into class 1,2,3,4,5. I don't exactly remember the breakdown, but a 3 walk was like any distance 50-100 feet. The observer would estimate the walk distance based on the average length of their paces and then classified them. You got the same amount of time for a 50 ft distance as a 99 ft distance.) [/QUOTE]
