Posting this mostly out of curiosity but usually I'm able to track my delivery via the UPS app as it pops up with a little GPS map that shows where the truck is located, I've formed a relationship with the driver and sometimes I'll meet him in my neighborhood to pick up my package. He told me he prefers it because it saves him time, apparently his routing takes him in and out of my neighborhood several times throughout the day and I save him a little time when I meet him in the neighborhood at the start of his route. Well today I have a package coming and this morning the tracking showed it loaded in the truck and the little GPS map with the truck was up and working but as soon as it went out for delivery the map disappeared, just curious why or how this might happen, is it something the driver can turn on/off or just a malfunction with the gps in the truck? Just find it unusual that it was working right up until it went out for delivery, thanks for any insight in advance.

edit: I'm assuming there's just an issue with the gps itself as the map did populate eventually and was showing for a while but then disappeared again randomly.

Have they gotten rid of it permanently? I feel like, at the rate they've been stripping features from online tracking, within a year or two it's literally just going to tell you when your package has shipped, and when it's been delivered. Seems to be a trend toward greater opacity between corporations and both their customers and their employees/contractors.
