Thought for the Dazed

I've had to give up that Distance Learning course as I was having trouble seeing the teacher.

Travels with a GPS Logger

I'm writing some software which works with GPS. It is for the .NET Micro Framework book and will let you use a Micro Framework based device to log and display location information (assuming I can find a copyright free source of aerial maps).

Anyhoo, it occurred to me that I'm going to need some test data for the system so today, as we drove about East Yorkshire dropping people off and getting free food of friends and family, we took the Samsung Q1 with the Microsoft GPS sensor and a little program to capture the data stream. If you want to relive last night's epic journey from Howden to York you will soon be able to do this. Oh yes.

Hey rob, long time reader - first time poster (well I might have commented back when I blogged on thespoke). The company I work for actually does this, using mobile devices, targetted at sports enthusiasts (www.sportsdo.net). Graham Bell on Ski Sunday uses it. As your other post about the beer being cool, actually working on something that people see on tv is also cool :)
