OnAMoto Where? (where am I right now)

Real-time OnAMoto location updates



Yes really, the above is a real-time updating map of me and my moto location as I cross the US from NYC to SF. How's it done? That's kinda a long story but very briefly:-
  • 1x Blackline GPS Snitch (check 'em out, great product!)
  • Some code I wrote to pull in the GPS data and drop it into a database.
  • Some more code to render the data in a variety of formats including in KML format.
  • Use of Google Maps API to slurp up my KML.
  • tada!
