[QUOTE="Archiater, post: 394639, member: 17312"] I'm new here, and this is an old post, but to clear up a myth that most of my own drivers still believe.... What DIAD 4 does, insofar as GPS, is tell us where you SAY you are. You can be at 4 Main St, but if you sheet a package for 12000 Main St, what the OMS' see is a blip for a delivery at 12000. If you are not cheating, yes, an On-car can call up the center and ask where a driver is (or last was, in reality) in order to be able to find a driver. The GPS function, which is now only present in minimal places, (the only place I know of is Atlanta, but I am sure there are more) but which will very soon be implemented everywhere (that uses DIAD 4) is the ability to see, [I]the following day[/I], where you were, what you travel path was, when you backed, when your bulk head is open when in motion, how far you backed, at what speed you backed, etc. It is too costly to relay all that info instantaneously. The info is stored both in the vehicle and DIAD, and is uploaded each night. I know this thread is a year old, but I'm just wading into this sight, and came across this and thought I'd clarify the myths reported here in case no one else had. Please excuse the bump. [/QUOTE]
