Anyone else going live with GPS on Monday? Heard something about a bullseye and the DIAD telling you your at the correct address.
This post baffles me,2 "metres" is about 2 yards and 245 yards is 2 1/2 football fields and that indeed is a misdelivery.The Diad GPS is accurate to about two meters, but this enhancement is only designed to help reduce misdeliveries. The GPS coordinates of the delivery address are loaded as part of EDD in the morning. The 245 yards is an approximation and is intended to limit the amount of "warning" screens the driver will encounter. The hope is that misdeliveries will be reduced by 30% or better. The GPS in Diad4 is always on, but the transmition of real-time information is not available yet.
Let me get this straight. Is this what we as UPSER's are dealing with: I'm at 913 wyoming ave trying to deliver a parcel. The parcel , though is addresed to go to 56090 beverly hills drive. I scan the parcel at at 913 wyoming ave and it says "incorrect address". Is this technology possibly?Let me clarify. The "average" misdelivered package is around 1500 yards away. The 245 yard tolerance is a tradeoff between "catching" 30% or better of the misdeliveries and not giving the driver too many warning screens.

I know about that but they told us they will now be using it to find out closest driver for OCA pick ups and something about a bullseye appearing on the screen either telling you your at the correct address or the wrong one. I didn't catch the entire PCM.Thats been in DIAD 4 for along time, just hidden on the menu. Supposedly they dont use it much because of the cost........??? In the Communications screen hit 8 & it'll give your position.
We're going live Monday. Company says this will alert you if you're at the wrong address. BUT! They also said it works within 245 yards, folks, that's 2 and a half football fields. Shoot, I have areas on my route that several streets would fit into 245 yards. LOL.
1080driver................ This is different from the "follow your butt all day" GPS.
What the heck is a "Center of the Future" team? Did everyone get their new 100 year anniversary pin?
