Yes, this feature is a killer. To the point where (with Fedex anyway) you can directly type the AWB tracking number (just the number) into google, and up pops your tracking info, amazing, must have an arrangement with google or something for that to happen in real time .

Although UPS does not show the Google Map like FedEx, once I knew which airport the parcel was departing from, I quickly did a search for all UPS flights out of that port and quick found the flight number (UPS34). With that info I went to http://flightaware.com and tracked it that way. Amazing data! Who would of thought this was possible to the average Joe 10 or 20 years ago?

Yes, we bang on about poor service, but when the yanks try hard, they certainly get it right, tech wise anyway. Joe 10-20yrs ago would cross his fingers and wait for weeks.
