[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 710351, member: 12570"] The only problem with a GPS is you have to set it for your first stop and then reset for each additional stop. It may not be a bad idea if you are unfamiliar with the area that you will be delivering; however, how would you know which would or should be your next stop? I am asked to run Saturday air ocassionally and will use a map for any areas that I am unfamiliar with. I find it much less cumbersome than setting and then resetting the GPS. A map also gives you the benefit of seeing the whole area so that you can better chart the ideal route based on the pkgs that you have. GPS is not 100%. We have a street in my town which goes through a trailer park and, according to GPS, ends up in a old wallpaper mill which has been converted to several businesses. The only problem is the city put a gate between the trailer park and the mill. At least once a week a semi will drive down that road hoping to get to the mill because that is what his GPS told him to do. Do you know how hard it is to turn a semi around in a trailer park?
