A mobile data collection system may perform or facilitate monitoring and
management of mobile automatic meter reading (MAMR) activities via out of
route meter read identification and graphical route playback. In
identifying out of route endpoints, the mobile data collection system
receives an indication of each of the endpoints included in a
predetermined meter reading route. The mobile data collection system
executes the route detecting endpoints and collecting location
information relating to out of route endpoints that are not included in
the predetermined route. Location information identifying the out of
route endpoints is then presented to a user. In facilitating graphical
route playback, the mobile data collection system collects information as
it progresses through the route. The collected information may then be
used in a graphical playback of the route, which shows the mobile data
collection system dynamically traveling through the route (e.g., on a
map) and reading endpoints.
