A method and an apparatus for transporting a set of articles to destinations, particularly items of mail to delivery addresses. The articles to be transported are placed into a transportation apparatus and the filled transportation apparatus and also a portable position measuring instrument are transported along the route. At each destination on the route, the following step is performed: each article which is provided with details relating to the destination is taken from the transportation apparatus, and the transportation for the article is concluded. The position measuring instrument carried along measures its own current geoposition during the transportation at each prescribed measurement time and stores the measured geoposition together with an identification for the measurement time. The interval between two prescribed measurement times is shorter than the period of time for transporting the position measuring instrument from one destination to the next destination on the route. Following conclusion of the transportation, the stored geopositions and measurement times are evaluated in order to ascertain what value is assumed by at least one parameter describing the transportation for this route.
