3.2.2. GPS devices
GPS devices help in keeping the drivers on track, but they have limitations.
When a driver has already left the depot, or if something changes in the last minute, the route 
cannot be changed.
While google maps for traffic updates are helpful, they are only useful for getting the current traffic 
status 
–
it does not predict future traffic. 
Therefore, a route optimization software
 
is
 
generally preferred.
