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<br>
i guess the best way to save batt is to use the GPS and GPRS only every now and then.<br>
what if theres no signal or bad gprs coverage?<div class="im"><br>

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

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

I think these 2 free apps are useful for this purpose (i.e. getting<br>
gpx and csv and emailing it).<br>

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

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

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