[QUOTE="DiadDude, post: 465866, member: 8166"] We've talked about GPS before. GPS does not give you an address, but rather lat and long of a delivery. The way UPS locates an address is by a collection of historical data points for deliveries sheeted to that address. If a driver sits in a vacant lot and DRs a bunch of packages, or meets his customers there for the delivery, that's where UPS will think the address is. On a field test of the GPS, there was a driver covering a route where all the stops in this one section were coming up with GPS warnings. Turns out the normal driver was meeting customers under a tree in the mall parking lot, so UPS thought (based on historical data) that all of those addresses were in the mall parking lot. [/QUOTE]
