[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 775682, member: 927"] The intent is to calculate the walk distance from the middle of the street to the delivery location. If you stop complete at the delivery location, you make their job easier and reduce the chance for inaccuracy. However, it is not required. They can move both pushpins, so its not necessary that you are in the right place... The software calculates the distance between them, so assuming they put them in the right place, the accuracy is increased and done faster. You can test this yourself. Go into Bing maps and click the option for "see your places". Its the "star" on the lower left of the screen. Then click the option for drawing a path. You can see the measurement. My house has a walk distance of 44.9 feet. Of course the UPS software has many more features than the generic Bing software, but the concept is the same. P-Man [/QUOTE]
