IDENTIFYING LOCATION IN PACKAGE AND MAIL DELIVERY SYSTEMS

摘要

A system and method of identifying a location in a package and mail delivery system includes inputting a location coordinate into a conversion system having a grid data set, and determining the grid unit that contains the location coordinate. The conversion system divides the Earth's surface into a progressive grid system assigning the position of the location coordinate, and then further dividing the grid into increasingly smaller grid units until a precise identifier is determined for the input location coordinate. The determined identifier for said input location coordinate is output for use in package and mail delivery systems.
