We were recently contacted by Dr. Ben Dubin-Thaler who was interested in making the location of his BioBus publicly available on his website. The BioBus is an old transit bus equipped with lab equipment and mainly used for the study of cells. The BioBus will soon begin its travels around the country and can be tracked in near realtime.

When Ben originally contacted us he wanted a simple solution where the GPS location of the bus could be extracted out of the Ublip system. This was a perfect fit for our Share Where product that makes it easy to integrate the location of a mobile asset directly in a webpage or blog. It’s rather simple and uses our GeoRSS feed to expose the data to the BioBus website.

Ben and his team recently had a successful “Open Bus” this past weekend. Be sure to check out the crawling cell movie on his homepage and we look forward to seeing the BioBus in Texas!
