UPS and FedEx Package Tracking via Google Maps
I guess if you are waiting for that new Python book to arrive from Amazon.com and you really want to know where it is, these Google Maps hacks will tell you where your package is. I don’t think either UPS or FedEx give you live tracking so you might be thousands of miles off of where your package actually exists. Still another proof of concept…

FedEx Package Tracking via Google Maps
That is one cool Google Maps hack. There are a few bugs that still need to be ironed out, but which might also be a problem with Google’s Maps system. I put in a tracking number that went from two stops in New Jersey, to a stop in Cumberland MD, to it’s destination in LaVale MD. I put this in, and it showed the first stop was in New Jersey, the second stop was in the middle of Lake Michigan, the third at it’s destination, and the fourth back in New Jersey. Anyway, very impressive, none the less.
