Abstract
A custom USPS specific mobile navigational and delivery system is presented. This system aids in the everyday delivery of mail and enhances the services provided by the USPS. The system uses wireless network connectivity to receive real-time delivery specific updates and to transmit package tracking information to a centralized server. Varieties of new services are implemented and many new opportunities are presented. The system provides a more efficient, cost effective, mail delivery process and adds to the quality and range of core services provided.
