[OSM-talk] Moose tracking

[Lars Aronsson]

Swedish Television channel 1 (SVT 1) on Wednesday April 11, 2007, 
aired a nature program (Mitt i naturen) featuring a moose that was 
tranquilized and fitted with a combined GPS receiver and SMS 
transmitter,

Every 7th hour (?), it sends an SMS (cell phone short text 
message) reporting the position of the moose. You can follow this 
moose ("Mitt i naturen 3223") and others on a map,

SLU.se is the Swedish Agricultural University, near Uppsala, but 
these moose are up in Sweden's far north.  The project is called 
"Älg i MittSkandia" and operates in the Swedish province 
Västerbotten and Norwegian Helgeland,

I don't know if the moose have signed away the copyright to these 
tracks.
