[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 682764, member: 927"] First, as far as I know, the new tool DOES use multiple days of information. Keep in mind that the new tool is only measuring walk distance. For residential deliveries, this is a large area for inaccuracy depending on the skill of the observer. What the tool does is use satellite maps to see where you parked, and where the delivery location is. They mark both, and now they know the walk distance with much more accuracy. You asked why not do a daily measurement.... There is not a way to know on a daily basis how far you walked to make a delivery..... They actually discussed using a pedometer, using a laser distance measurement, using ZIP+4 data, etc. The method they chose reduces cost, increases accuracy, and is easily audited. P-Man [/QUOTE]
