Really cool *new* feature

Posted: February 26th, 2007 | Author: admin | Filed under: maps | 1 Comment »

For your mapping pleasure, I’ve added a feature that will let you follow me on the trip with nearly real-time data from a GPS/phone tracking device. Check out my Maps page. There are several options that you allow you to see different segments of my trip. Thanks to the magic of php, I can highlight specific routes with simple links. Plus I set it up to create a map with every nth point so I should be able to draw a map with nearly the whole trip without crashing your browser.

Yes that’s a picture of the bike with an arrow pointing to my last public location.

For security reasons I’ve inserted a delay in time and location, but as long as I’m moving the maps should update regularly.

The GPS/phone is powered by Boost Mobile and Mologogo.
