Shipment Mapper

What it Does

Shipment Mapper is a tool for displaying a map of the route taken by United States Postal Service packages. The route is displayed in Google Earth.

Requirements

Google Earth - You'll need to install Google Earth to use this tool.
Perl - You'll need Perl installed since it's a perl script. One place you can get this is from Active Perl.

How to use Shipment Mapper

If you have .pl files associated with the Perl interpreter (you get this by default with Active Perl), all you need to do is double-click on the mapshipment.pl file. It will then prompt you for a tracking number. If you don't have the .pl file association, you can run it from the command line.

To run from the command line, open a command prompt (Start | Run | cmd on Windows NT/2000/XP, and Start | Run | command.com on Windows 95/98/ME). Change to the directory where you saved mapshipment.pl. At the command prompt, type:

perl mapshipment.pl <your USPS tracking number>

This assumes you have perl in your path. If perl is not in your path, you'll have to specify the full path, something like this:

c:\Perl\bin\perl mapshipment.pl <your USPS tracking number>

If you are in a Cygwin or MingW shell, you only need to run:

mapshipment.pl <your USPS tracking number>

If you don't specify a tracking number on the command line, it will prompt you for one.
