[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 349281, member: 10234"] Good info P-man. Just had a thought....(I know)...... If the system can track all of the deliveries you make and the "trace" in which you delivered them, wouldn't it show if you did not follow EDD but used your own judgement? And couldn't it also show which was shorter in terms of miles and (possibly) logical progression? If so..... The GPS has a "learning" ability used to tell you if you are at the right location. Couldn't that ability be utilized to "teach" EDD to adjust its' trace depending on where deliveries are located on any given day? What I'm getting at is...the old sequence # system (loop) was set up assuming a delivery on every road, street or block. In the majority of cases that never happens. So drivers (in order to save time and miles) might run things "out of sequence". EDD is basically the same setup. But it seems that there might be the possibility for a (sort of) learning mode to compensate for gaps in a delivery area. I would think that it would require possibly "learning" from the driver....and therefore lies one of the reasons it wouldn't be implemented. Just a thought! [/QUOTE]
