myDSL Extensions (deprecated) :: roadmap



While researching another project I found this
http://roadmap.digitalomaha.net/
and thought it might be an interesting addition to DSL.  I don't have any gps devices (or a car), so it would be difficult for me to build and test myself, but someone might have an interest.
Interesting ..

This is very similar to the xastir.dsl I use here at DSL.
It also uses the tigermaps for road display, noaa links for live radar,
terraserver maps for satellite views and topography data,
the festival for voice announcements, ( festival.dsl ) ,
and a live GPS can be attached to a serial port,
which works with my garmin gps12 nicely..

I even use it to send emails to folks
when I am without any internet access ... (via radio)
Like from the car, or a beach or park..
No attachments, only texts...  :(

Tried and tested, as I have it online most everyday.
( I say most because I moved it over the holidays, and it is NOW offline )
APRS rocks...

Thanks for the link,
I'll check it out in more detail..
