I must admit, when I saw the title in the RSS feed, I was estatic to go read about some cool pedal. It’s still cool, but . . . darn!

Very nice! This one is worth reading all the way through.

yeah, baby, my submission makes the main page. Anyone know if they have flat rate 3G in Europe? That’d be great to take it around the world with you.

Unfortunately, Google Maps doesn’t supply geographic coordinates or scale with the picture, so it isn’t of much use for GPS applications.

Well, I’ve long wanted to do something like this as well. I’ve pondered radiomodems and even hopping on unsecured WiFi networks to send GPS coordinates, but an $80/mo. subscription to Verizon’s EVDO network was never really an option.

Unfortunately, the underlying concept of this idea still remains for those of us who don’t want to pay that much (at least per month). Any other ideas?

Perhaps a 3g smartphone with bluetooth. Develop an app that would read coordinates from a bluetooth GPS and up the through the phone to an FTP where your PHP app could properly display the results along with the google map.

Of course, I know nothing of using 3g on smartphones.
