![]() All your deliveries go on a map with icons for different types of things (package, large package, small package/SPR, letter, signature, express).It's not free to get via Google Play or the App Store, if you want to try it out before buying there's a button in that link to open the app as a website. More info, download buttons, and source code here: Just today I released the iOS version of PackageHelper to join the Android version, so it's now available on basically everything. I've reused bits and pieces (like the address-to-GPS service, the maps, and even the menu layout) in other apps and websites, so that also helps. I really made PackageHelper for my own use, but decided to release it for other people to use if they want. This means I don't have to worry about limits on how many map views or users I can have per month, and I can use the maps for essentially anything I want. It's updated weekly and provided to me as a ~70GB download, which I feed into a map server that can pull out and send to your phone any little chunk of the earth you want. I currently also pay $512 per year for the map data used to draw the map in PackageHelper. If that database returns no good results, my server looks it up with a service such as MapBox, that will basically always return something, even if it's not perfect (in which case you'll get the aforementioned "where are you?" question, adding the address and correct location to my own database). The way PackageHelper does it is by first checking a database I run on my server that includes (very patchy and incomplete) free government data, as well as address corrections submitted by users (if you mark something delivered but you're not right next to it on the map, PackageHelper asks you if you're at the address, mailbox, or parcel locker, and submits your own GPS coordinates as the correct location for that address and type of delivery). Lots of companies offer this search as a service, but they cost a fraction of a cent per query after exceeding any free tiers they have. PackageHelper needs to look up the GPS coordinates for every address entered into the app, because a street address is a concept not a measurement.
