SPOT Satellite Messenger and Web-based GPS Tracking
GPS, Web 2.0, Products January 10th, 2008For Christmas I received a SPOT Satellite Messenger from my inlaws. Over the Holidays I decided it would be fun to integrate it with our web-based GPS tracking system. This decision was based on the lack of features provided by the SPOT web interface. At Ublip we’re making it simple to integrate any location tracking device into our platform. The integration of SPOT within our system took little time and as you can see from the image below the SPOT tracker is displayed beneath some of our vehicle tracking devices.
I recently let a friend take the SPOT on his ski trip so we could test it with the Ublip platform and more importantly, so he didn’t get lost. If you have a SPOT GPS tracker and would like to see it displayed within the Ublip system please post a comment below. I’m thinking about bringing up an instance of our platform that will allow other SPOTters to use our web-based system. This would allow all you Web 2.0 mashup hackers to access the Ublip GeoRSS feed and have your SPOT display in your own application.
