My friend Kris – who is arguably the only techie techie that I know well – has a friend Jane, who is travelling around the US I think, and coming back to Oz sometime in the future, maybe.
Anyway, so she and the hubby have their blog and they are writing about the places they’ve been to, etc. posting pics, blah blah. But Kris did not have a real sense of the relative position and scope of the travels (as in are you heading west right nowt? Or have you crossed the states and then went north to get here? kind of thing
So, he’s mashed an xml feed of places visited by Jane and their coordinates on google maps, so he can see ‘la travesia’. My thoughts on this was ok, so what if you enable people to ‘draw’ their travel plans on a map and then – previous permission – have a few travel companies presenting a travel/flight plan proposal to the would-be tourist. what do you think
