an idea: GPS blog?

[Andrew Turner]

Great ideas - it would be worth checking out existing services to tie
into, such as Plazes (http://plazes.com), which has blog widgets (see
my blog sidebar http://highearthorbit.com)

There are also Geo-plugins for blogging engines, such as GeoPress for
WordPress (http://georss.org/geopress), that the Neo could publish
location, history, photos to. Or just geotag photos and upload to
Flickr/SmugMug/Panoramio/Zooomr/et al.

GeoTracing (http://www.geotracing.com/) is a very cool project that
spawned GeoSkating & GeoSailing, much like what you're suggesting. And
Bliin (http://www.bliin.com/) is an upcoming project to do very
advanced tracking/friend finding, etc.

See the OpenMoKo wiki for some of these links and to add your own ideas!

But as Richard Bennet pointed out - a lot of the actual 'ability' will
depend on the accuracy of the GPS that the phone & apps sees.
