    If I understand correctly: you would prefer that the tracking page tell you the city and state where the shipment is located, in addition to having the shipment marked on the map as it is now. Is that right, or did I misunderstand?

    Do you mind sending me the tracking #?

    I believe it's set to update every 5 minutes. If your phone can't get an accurate location signal then it won't send an update to the server.

    Ok, After 2 hours, map has not updated.
    All in all, I think this app is excellent.
    very basic and super easy to use.
    No unnecessary features to complicate things.
    This app would be very easy for even a smart phone rookie.

    Thanks, brown. Looking into your issue with the map updates. Do me a favor, mark the shipment as 'delivered' and see if it updates the map with a delivered location.

    I just set it up. I will give it a try. One thing to ponder is- Big Brother and his ability to see whats up.
