I'm from the coast, into surf/sailing. Ideas:
- openmoko attached to bouys, phones home with bouy angle, wave forces - openmoko race application, allow other boats to watch speed, position, and accel forces on race participants (would be cool to see graphic of boat hitting waves and the angle while close hauled, other boats could view visualization when a gust hits a competitor) - openmoko in moored yacht, alert/webserve info on forces on boat, similar detect if boat is drifting away from mooring -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Shiloh Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2008 12:32 PM To: List for OpenMoko community discussion Subject: Idea for Openmoko application: Tide updates Surfers, fisherpeople, and I'm sure others care about the tides. Turns out there are websites and applications that provide this data. For a nice review: http://www.kk.org/cooltools/archives/003037.php Something like this would seem to be ideal for Openmoko, especially with GPS. Anyone interested?
