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?

TweetDeck has live geotag and it is free.

How you get the geo-tweets display in your custom map - openlayers or
wms / tile server?

Thanks for all the tips. In the first StepJuan expedition, I gave him
one GPSTOGO unit, at the end of each day, he sends the file to me. I
then process the file and upload in the website. The process is
onerous both for me and Tomas' so I'm thinking of automating this
process.
The best I can think of is to use a droid phone and send geo-tweets.
This way all he do is tweet his current position to show it on the
livemap. Any free droid app that can send geo-enabled tweets?

I think these 2 free apps are useful for this purpose (i.e. getting
gpx and csv and emailing it).
Android - MyTracks

Iphone - Record my GPS position

Well what can he carry, a GPS logger is easy to carry and runs fine on
batt but it only logs, so what possible device can be used to log and
upload at the same time
or if it just logs, how often can an upload be done?
Once you have something which can upload, you just figure out how to
display the logs online using a website or a 3rd party service.
Something like Sportstracklive or its competitors let you track yourself
live using a phone or similar device and display it live online, the
problem with constant upload is the battery drain, and well GPRS charges
but im sure an 1200 unlimited 3G subscription might offset that.
I know the developer of sportstracklive, he's a foreigner living the
philippines.
It's cool for live tracking as longs its not a security issue, and allow
people to comment or alert people as he passes by certain areas.
I know he walks during the day, is there a mobile device charges solar
unit :) or a really low powered GPS + 3g unit + solar power charger, or
some dynamo that will charge the phone as he walks :)

StepJuan is back on the road. For brief background, we helped Tomas
and the StepJuan crew last year in mapping his journey from Paguppud
Ilocos to Matnog, Sorsogon. We provided him one of the gpstogo units
to track the whole journey. All traces are in OSM:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/traces/tag/stepjuan
This year he is planning to do the Visayas leg. I'm looking for ideas
on how we can once again track the journey and show a webmap. Are
there any GPS tracker available wherein we can directly interface to
an OSM map? The StepJuan crew is looking for sponsorships, if you
have ideas, just post em here.
Thanks!

Hi firends,
StepJuan is walking to town again! This time me and my team will walk
through the 6 major islands of the Visayas Region, starting from Allen
Samar and will end in Boracay Island, Aklan. This adventure will
benefit children with cancer under the Philippine Children's Medical
Center (tawid kalusugan program for indigent patients). With this i
would like to ask for your help. Attached is a cover letter, the walk
IT and our media plan.
Hoping for your help and guidance.
God Bless.
Love and Peace,
~Tomas Leonor
