GPS and the diad

[wayfair]

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....

or, the gps at the center is overriding your DIAD

One has nothing to do with the other. There is a GPS receiver in your DIAD and attach to your car. Whether there is one at the center doesn't matter.

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.

Why, what did they "see" you do wrong??? Let me guess ....... You didn't honk horn enough, and you didn't park close enough to curb, and spent to much time in back looking for package????? Close???????

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.

You're confusing the transmit function and what ODS-E is. ODS-E is active at all times for all drivers. We don't need to put in a specific request to get driver's info. It would make no difference whether you are being OJs'ed or not.

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

Sweet. I went through CFII and got my CRJ type rating. It was a blast

We're not Iran. We can't jam your GPS signal.

I've noticed some days the battery on the DIAD also drains significantly faster...

uh, they can remotely take control... it's a simple function

Cover drivers may get a location warning from the diad because they are at the correct location.

The diad learns where the stop is always left over a period of time and a deviation will trigger the alarm.

3 points of contact and entering/exiting the pkg car while making a delivery.

Rookie.

 

[DOK]

They always give me one,every time I have an 8 hour day.

Just hit escape in the ojs field on the verify screen.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Just hit escape in the ojs field on the verify screen.

I'm not worried about it.

When the GPS warning incorrectly sounds, I just laugh.

You don't look at the address just to make sure you have the right package?

 

[joeboodog]

You don't look at the address just to make sure you have the right package?

I do, that's why I laugh. If I have the wrong package, I cuss.

That doesn't actually change anything.. It just means we have to re add it into your timecard when you punch out.

You're severely overestimating the capabilities we have

 

[Overpaid Union Thug]

Interesting thread. I had heard that GPS failures likely meant that we were being watched. Apparently that is the rumor elsewhere.

or you haven't seen it yet

Well I'll be damned if the DIAD ever does this to me when I start my career. UPS needs to get their tech tools straightened out.
