PackageMapper shows you a map of your FedEx, UPS, USPS package routes. Enter a carrier and a tracking number to see your package’s progress plotted on the map. Sign in to enter a list of packages and see their current locations on a table or map.
This is an itch I’ve wanted to scratch for about a year now: being able to see where all my packages are on a map. On Thanksgiving morning I discovered SimpleTracking.com, which gives you an RSS feed for a UPS or USPS package. Over Thanksgiving weekend I added FedEx and mashed it up with Google Maps, and this is the result.
I can’t guarantee that this will stay up if it starts to get much traffic, but in the meantime I’m finding it useful myself, so, enjoy.

If you are, you might be interested in Oliver Steele’s PackageMapper.com, that uses Google Maps to track packages that have been shipped using FedEx, UPS or the US Postal Service. You can instantly add a tracking number to plot it onto a Google Map or sign on to track a list of many packages at once. If you don’t have a tracking number the site has some preset examples to show the site’s functionality. This mashup may become your new best friend in the next week! Source Comments » [...]
Hi there,
I love this mash-up and I've added it to my home page. Are you continuing to work on it? It looks as if the information is not being updated--? Either way, I'll be following your progress and thanks for the work!
