[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 318205, member: 927"] IWork: Sorry, I don't think I explained this well. Your question is a good one. The time study is not automated. A time study supervisor looks at the GPS readings on a map. They can see a satellite image like Google has. They would see where you pressed stop complete. They would mark the position where you park, and the position where you delivered. They would do this using the GPS readings and also looking at the map. The map then calculates the walk distance. It shouldn't matter whether you took your DIAD with you or left it in the package car. They should mark it properly. I don't know what their plans are, but I would think it appropriate if you wanted to see what they did. You should be able to see each stop and where they marked your park and delivery position. I think this would help make that part of the study more understandable. P-Man [/QUOTE]
