Re: [talk-ph] ideas for tracking stepjuan's journey (Fwd: STEPJUAN Bai: A walking expedition for Children with Cancer)
Make sure to test the actual droid phone + app to see how fast it can acquire a GPS lock and send it with the tweet or else it might be sending tweets without the GEO info i guess the best way to save batt is to use the GPS and GPRS only every now and then. what if theres no signal or bad gprs coverage?

And given that the walk is for a good cause, I'm sure they'd be approachable and would a) give you a free GPS tracker plan and b) help you promote the cause. I'd definitely second the solar charger idea.
