[QUOTE="keeb86, post: 3280578, member: 54254"] Talked with the guy that invented the diad we use now this summer. He came by our center because we are one of the biggest, and UPS was testing out input regarding touch screens for the new diad they are having him develop for the new diad before he retires for good. He told me they want to go full touch screen; some of the perks were going to be that we can use our work gloves while we use it. I gave it a go for just ten minutes one day, came back and had about a 40 minute conversation with him about it- they were just a bunch of different palm pilots with the helper software we see on those helper cells phones management has been “encouraging” us to use for peak. Basically told the guy that this really isn’t going to work if it’s all touch screen and the software isn’t UPS driver friendly. The diad we use now is the best one we ever used so far- just update our current diad so the screen might be slightly bigger so it can go full touch screen instead of hybrid like it is now. Allow the ORION software with map to be usable on the screen and PLEASE change the businesses to a different color besides black so the cut drivers who are doing cut cars can see what stops are the businesses. He agreed with me and said many other driver he talked to said the same. Full touch isn’t the way to go, and out keypad after you master it is way better than a touch screen honestly due to being able to “feel the keys”. I doubt UPS will listen though. They are set in their ways. [/QUOTE]
