it could interface with google maps, http://wikimapia.org/ or have some custome service, as a basis we could use http://wikimap.sourceforge.net/Main_Page

Werner, This sounds pretty cool. I've always thinking on a service that could let anyone provide means to upload their position (without being tied to any personal records) and be able to see through the time the evolution of the flows of population (dynamic of fluids). Could be amazing to see the same way we do now the wind and temperature patterns around the globe but with people ! :) Regards, -Urivan Flores-Saaib ==============Original message text=============== On Wed, 04 Jul 2007 1:39:13 +0100 Werner Almesberger wrote: Hi all, I was wondering of any of the Gtk gurus hanging out here could do me a little favour. I have this idea that's haunting me in my sleep, but I don't have the time to implement it. It should be really easy to do, though. The idea is to have a GPS tracker/mapper that uses a very simple GUI with very rapid (finger) interaction to find one's way around some place. There are no maps. The context is provided by past movements and/or external information sources, combined by the user's brain. Brief description: http://people.openmoko.org/werner/trail.txtGUI mockup (for 640x480): http://people.openmoko.org/werner/trail.ps The "current location" interface should probably be generic, e.g., reading <x-meters, y-meters, seconds> messages from a Unix domain socket. We can then feed it with fake test data and/or slap on a converter from NMEA. I know there are similar programs around, but I don't think they pursue this light-weight and real-time approach quite to the same extent. Anyone feeling like giving it a try ? - Werner -- _________________________________________________________________________ / Werner Almesberger, Buenos Aires, Argentina [EMAIL PROTECTED] / /_http://www.almesberger.net/____________________________________________/ _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community ===========End of original message text=========== _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
