You want to add a route map to an email. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
What is a route map? A route map is a visual representation of the journey a package or mail piece takes from the sender to the recipient. It's a useful tool for tracking and tracing the movement of mail, especially for international shipments.
How to add a route map to an email:
Method 1: Using a Route Map Generator
- Choose a route map generator tool, such as RouteXL or MapQuest.
- Enter the sender's and recipient's addresses.
- Select the route map type (e.g., driving, walking, or flying).
- Customize the map settings (e.g., zoom level, map style).
- Copy the generated route map image or embed the map code into your email.
Method 2: Using a Postal Service's Tracking Tool
- Use the tracking number provided by the postal service (e.g., USPS, UPS, FedEx).
- Visit the postal service's website and enter the tracking number.
- Look for the "Track" or "View Route" option.
- Click on it to view the route map.
- Copy the route map image or embed the map code into your email.
Method 3: Using a Third-Party Tracking Service
- Use a third-party tracking service, such as ShipStation or ShippingEasy.
- Enter the tracking number and recipient's address.
- The service will generate a route map.
- Copy the route map image or embed the map code into your email.
Tips:
- Make sure to check the postal service's or tracking service's terms of use before sharing route maps.
- Route maps may not be available for all shipments or tracking numbers.
- You can also add a brief description or message to the email to provide additional context about the shipment.
By following these methods, you can add a route map to an email and provide your recipient with a visual representation of the journey their package or mail piece took to reach them.
