I was expecting a package to be delivered from NewEgg.com,
and I was watching the UPS tracking data as the package made
its way across the US -- But I'm a "visual" person, so I wanted
to see the data on a map ...
So, I copy-n-pasted the data from the UPS tracking table into
a SAS data set, and then used proc geocode to lookup the lat/long
of the cities, and annotated dots & lines onto a SAS/Graph map
to show where the package had traveled. Mouse over the dots to
see when the package arrived & left each city.
Also, click on the red tracking number in the title to see
the UPS table of the data (they probably won't keep that page
up there forever though...)
I think it would be a *great* idea for companies like
UPS, DHL, Fedex, etc to provide maps like this on their
websites, don't you!?! :)
