[QUOTE="McFeely, post: 3885790, member: 60776"] I wonder what they will do with 12:00 and 16:30 commit areas? They're obviously going to want SPH, but if the system will only allow P1 then P2 service... Our current DRA maps appear to use NAVTEQ, which is a pretty reliable source. The problem with FedEx and DRA is that they haven't updated our maps in over 5 years. The new system I'm told will be using a Route4Me app (not sure if that's the [I]actual[/I] app, or one like it), so in theory it would be updated as frequently as phone mapping apps get updated. This would actually help us quite a bit, especially accounting for the long driveways in the country/mountains that DRA doesn't account for. Of course it's only as good as the driver data (accurate scanning) at the proper locations. Couldn't be any worse than our map data from 2013. I used to have a vehicle that had GPS on the in-dash screen, the maps were loaded on a DVD. Those DVDs were close to $200 each for a single user, and were outdated within a year. I can't imagine how much money it would cost FedEx to upgrade all of our maps in just the United States for as many "end users" as we have. [/QUOTE]
