Royal mail have a GPS tracker built into the PDA so they can tell where you are, how fast you're going, etc. But is there any way WE could use this data to prove our rounds are too big, or as back up when cutting off/claiming OT?

I may well be wrong, but I suspect that data is made available to RM on request by a third party.

I tend to picture it as a locked door of unimaginable knowledge. One we ain't gettin' the key to.

PREcom.
can track you in live time etc and DOM's have the capabilities to use it.

can you use it to prove your walks etc are too big?
of course not, why would RM let you prove to them that they are wrong!

do your hours and go home, no walk will be too big etc then :)

Yes you can use this data as collected on your android phone in an app. Many apps will do this.
