Map availability is based on both the package and the driver’s vehicle. If your package has a delivery window you will be provided a map closer to the start of that window. If you do not have a window you’ll be provided a map when the driver is close to your location (availability time can vary). If the driver’s vehicle is not equipped with a GPS device to “follow” them, you will not be given a view of the driver. Answer from UPS_Blue_Ghost on reddit.com

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.

Honestly that feature was terrible for the drivers. I had customers finding me on my brakes, driving into industrial parks, blocking me in on docks, walking into docks and businesses, being coming safety hazards, just so they can get their Nikes. I’ve had people threaten to hurt or kill me just because I told them, “sorry I can’t get to your package right now” or “I have to deliver all my air first” or “Sorry my truck is too packed” or “I just don’t have it”
it was just not worth it

The tracker is pointless. No way to know when you're the next stop. Saying they're nearby means nothing since drivers go in any order they feel like

My shipment says it’s been delivered, but I can’t find it. Where is it? Your driver will try to leave your package out of plain sight to protect it. Check exterior doors or other places your package could’ve been placed, like the porch, back patio or garage. Also check with anyone who may have picked up your package, like a neighbor. If you still can’t find it, contact the seller to start a claim. ... UPS will also track the following types of tracking numbers, which contain from seven to 20 characters: Delivery Order/Sub-PRO Number: Less-Than-Truckload (LTL)/and Truckload (TL) child s

I get a map that pops up in my app about half the time. Sometimes the 3 promps (on the road, in your area, almost there) work great. Sometimes they never move at all and sometimes i don't get any map. Is this the specific truck that determines if this works? Is it my service level or maybe the driver? I'd like to understand it if at all possible thanks.

It depends on the driver's tablet, called a diad. The diad is what sends out the GPS signal, well it is supposed to. Some diads are better than others. For some unknown reason there are diads that just plain suck at transmitting and if you driver has a sucky one, then good luck following them. Also, since the diads work off cell phone towers, if the towers are running at peak capacity with calls, the diad GPS signal can't get through since it is considered a lower priority than a phone call. Also, some drivers know how to turn off the radio transmitter so they do that occasionally. Other times the driver will deliver to a factory that runs a signal jammer to keep people from stealing corporate secrets and that jammer will put the diad into airplane mode. The driver doesn't always remember to turn the radio back on immediately. Add to that weather and buildings that are basically faraday cages and you end up with lots of reasons why you can't see the driver on the map.
