UPS Launches iPod and IPhone Application with Built-In GPS to Track Packages

UPS announced the introduction of a new application for iPhone and iPod touch users that not only ships and tracks packages but also uses built-in GPS features to find the nearest UPS location. Available at the App Store, the new UPS Mobile App for the iPhone enables users to track shipments, create shipments using the My UPS address book, calculate shipping rates and time-in-transit and then find the nearest UPS location. The free shipping app joins other UPS-enabled solutions for Apple users. iPhone and iPod touch users can use their devices to access their My UPS Address Book and Preferences and create shipping labels, which can be e-mailed in a PDF file for printout. Once the label is printed, customers can use the application's 'find locations' feature, which leverages the built-in GPS to locate UPS. The new iPhone App doesn't require log-In for tracking. But when logged in, the application shows a history of tracked shipments and automatically refreshes when the application is opened. UPS tracking numbers also can be nicknamed for reference.
