Well, well, well… Look what’s hot and fresh out of Amazon’s kitchen! You know how you have to wait around just twiddling your thumbs the day you are expecting a package to be delivered home? Not anymore! With its latest offering, Amazon is making sure its users catch a break.
Called Amazon Map Tracking, this new feature allows anyone in the United States to track their deliveries on a map in real time. And while the feature doesn’t show you the exact ETA of the package, it does offers super useful information like how many stops the delivery person will be making before they knock on your door. Looks something like this:
The reactions from shoppers on the Internet have been super positive. One person wrote on Twitter: Watching the Amazon delivery map for an order is hilarious and addicting. While another said on Reddit: I just saw this for the first time on my order delivered today, when there were 4 stops before mine. I felt kind of silly but was excited to watch the little dot get closer to me

Amazon began rolling out this feature in November 2017, but it’s only now that map tracking for packages has become available across the US. In an interview with Business Insider, Amazon spokeswoman Alana Broadbent said, “The Amazon Map Tracking feature is another delivery innovation we are working on to improve convenience for our customers and provide them greater visibility into their deliveries.”
