GPS and the diad

[FrigidFTSup]

They do it just to make sure that I'm not dragging my feet.

Who'd wanna drag butt on a Friday? When I qualified I was like the flash on Fridays. I wanted to get the weekend started.

They got tired of giving me grievance pay.

They got tired of giving me grievance pay.

That would do it.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

That would do it.

Now they give me my 8.

You're a disgrace to the uniform....
There'll be no running on any day...suit.

 

[Brownslave688]

Just shut up. Nobody was talking to you.

Not even to the bathroom?

It's your uniform. I wear a polo, shiny shoes, and a chip on my shoulder.

Rookie.



Same pace everyday.

 

[FrigidFTSup]

Rookie.



Same pace everyday.

I was just trying to qualify. Gotta pick up the pace to make it.

 

[Big Arrow Down...D]

Number 1 or number 2?

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Number 1 or number 2?

Yes.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

It's not the CIA. I wouldn't expect you not to know.

But you're so good Dave, why would they need to watch you?

Actually my center manager did an on-road observation on me this morning. He handed me a bottle of water and went over what he saw.

Friday is just the same as Monday through Thursday. I don't go any faster on Friday.

We don't need to initiate anything to get that info. It automatically updates every few minutes.

No, Dave is right. When a driver is pulled up in ODS-E the gps on the diad gets wonky. The data is usually about 5 minutes behind.

 

[Tough Guy]

Number 1 or number 2?

Yes.

Which?

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Number 1 or number 2?


Which?

Depends on how bad I gotta go.

Observing you is nothing more than looking at your previous stop counts. We don't have a "live stream" option.

it makes more sense that when being observed the gps at the center takes over and cannot be at the address where I'm at with my board... make sense?

 

[ihatewinter]

GPS is damn accurate. The problem is the GPS receiver in the DIAD. When I fly GPS approaches I turn on something called WAAS and it's accurate to about a meter.

Your a pilot!
Me too. I'm just working on my commercial.

More often lately I'll be at a stop, the diad does it's thing where it thinks I'm at the wrong location. Obviously I am not as I'm a trained professional. Where's an I.T. guy when you need one?

It has nothing to do with the IT guy. GPS is based on getting information from 3 or 4 satellites. The more satellites that the DIAD is able to use to pin point a position the more accurate the location is going to be. Sometimes the DIAD doesn't pick up 4 satellites or even 3 so the GPS location can't be accurately determined that is why the DIAD beeps and blinks red....
