PhantomAlert Give you “Wings” Above the Law, Cops, and DUI!

Today, I had the pleasure of talking to Joseph Scott, CEO of PhantomAlert.com over at CJ University Event in Santa Barbara. What impressed me the most wasn’t his products but his friendliness, I really like friendly people. I think when you pitch a product to bloggers, all you gotta do really is “be a nice guy”, Joseph is a perfect example. (Thanks again for your friendship, I highly appreciated.)

Anyways, Joseph’s PhantomAlert isn’t just all about friendliness, his software can run on all major GPS devices such as Garmin, TomTom, and Megellan.

What PhantomAlert will do is basically “notify” you of all major “police” hazards on the road including cop cars, motorcycle cops, red light speed cameras and lights, DUI checkpoints, and other hazardous road situations that are actually reported by regular people like you and me.

Anyways, Joseph is also going to have his PhantomAlert “Cop tracking system” available soon on cellphones like iPhones, Blackberries, and tons more. I really like this idea as this concept isn’t all that new to me anyways.

South Koreans have had this same technology for detecting red light speed cameras and cop cars for the last 4-5 years, I think this is the very first one in the U.S worth mentioning.

The service is completely free if you want to check the status online but you will have to pay about $100 for lifetime membership, still not too bad if you can avoid another ticket.

Of course, the best way is to simply avoid driving too fast and just drive slow like me. The only thing I am worried about is getting a ticket for driving like a grampa, oh well, this service might help me afterall. I will have to talk to Joseph about getting me a free lifetime membership for giving him some free online exposure.

In all, today was a great day, I met a lot of new people that could help catapult my business to a new level. Besides, I met Joseph Scott, what a great guy! Definitely recommend trying out his GPS “cop-tracking” services if you tend to be on the edge and get at least 1 traffic ticket per year. This could potentially save you from getting a ‘DUI’ too, not that I recommend you driving drunk unless you are good at it like me. :p

Okay, maybe I am getting long here, good night, tomorrow I will be busy ALL DAY LONG! Follow me on Twitter @zedomax I will try to get some pics of hot chics or somethin’

Go try out PhantomAlert here

Here’s a screenshot of where I live and I have to say, PhantomAlert does a good job as I know where all the cop cops/motorcycles wait to catch people. (The web version is free btw, you might want to catch up ono the hotspots in your area for cops and whatnot.)

Palm Pre Hack – How to “Tweet” Your Palm Pre’s GPS Location to Twitter!

max — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 22:44:57 +0000

Well, I digged a bit further with my Palm Pre GoogleMaps GPS tracking app and made a new app that will track your Palm Pre’s GPS location via Twitter.

This is a better way to keeping a record of where you have been traveling in the past with your Palm Pre.

Here’s a screenshot of my latest update @trackmypalmpre:

If you go type the location on GoogleMaps, you will get the following:

Incredibly, I am actually right under that tree in my car near the Monarch Bay golf course in a public parking lot, writing this very blog post using my netbook and my hacked Palm Pre WiFi Router.

LMAO, I will have to turn off the updates eventually, I don’t want everyone to know my location. (OR I can set my Twitter updates to private so only I can see…)

But I will leave them up for now, you can track me @trackmypalmpre.

Over this weekend, I’ve cooked up some really great Palm Pre hacks, one of which shows you how to setup a website on your Palm Pre and track your phone via GoogleMaps GPS. This means that if you lose your phone or someone steals it, you will know exactly where it is.

Details over at the Palm Pre Hacks blog. Enjoy~

A lot of carriers now offer the ability to track your kid’s cellphones to track where they are. Well,you can do that on the Palm Pre too.

Here’s how you can setup a “website” on your Palm Pre and secretly track your Palm Pre, whereever it is in “real-time”.

How to Geo-Map your Movies!

max — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 00:00:09 +0000

With Seero, I guess you can even geo-map your movies. It’s interesting as this movie is based on San Francisco streets and I know where they shot it.

It’d be way cool if all new movies came out with a PiP screen of Google Maps showing the location. (maybe one day when Google starts buying theaters…)

I’m a huge fan of ‘the king of cool’ and of all movie car-chase scenes. I thought it would be great to mashup famous chases with their GPS tracks. Keep in mind some of the chases cut from one place to another…so I tried to be as accurate as possible. Enjoy!

Nokia E71 Confirmed for Production!

max — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 21:35:45 +0000

Nokia E71 looks so much like Blackberry 8830 I’ve got here, perhaps slimmer. If the price is right, Nokia E71 might not be a bad choice.

The E71 is one of the thinnest phones we’ve ever seen exit the doors of the Finnish giant, at 10mm thick, but there’s still plenty of room for everything you’d expect out of an E series phone like WiFi, HSDPA, A-GPS and even a 3.2 megapixel camera and a front facing camera for video chat — the main place the E71 differs on specs from its new E66 sibling is the 2.36-inch QVGA screen, just a fraction of an inch smaller. The E71 even manages to squeeze in extra battery, with 20 days of standby, 10.5 hours of GSM talk or 4.5 hours of 3G talk. There’s 110MB of built-in storage and a microSD slot if you grow out of that, and the same business / personal switcher of the E66.

Sony PSP GPS Dongle for Japan!

max — Thu, 22 May 2008 11:20:11 +0000

Well, Sony PSP GPS dongle does look pretty impressive, now you have more reasons to mount it on your car besides the fact that in the US, laws were passed so you can mount your GPS.

Today Sony’s PSP guys gave us a heads-up on what’s next for the portable. Two years after launching in Japan, we’re finally going to get GPS action for the PSP on this side of the pond. Happily, it looks like we’ll be getting a much better package than Japan for a change.

DIY HACK – How to build a cheap bluetooth audio for your GPS!

max — Mon, 05 May 2008 05:44:06 +0000

Here’s a good instructable on how to build a cheap bluetooth audio for your GPS. If your GPS doesn’t already support bluetooth (I believe most don’t), this is a great cheap way to get all those audible directions into just the driver’s ears, not everyone in the car.

I needed a way to hear my cheap a$$ GPS under the helmet on my motorcycle and didn’t wanna fork over 2x the price for a “motorcycle ready” GPS device so I made it myself.
This may be interesting to bikers a well!

Easy geo tagging

David Allen — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 16:00:41 +0000

This is a great device which will allow the photographer to geo tag your photographs without any of the hassle that can be involved in this sort of process.

This is a GPS receiver which uses the satellite network to get a precise fix on a location, this is then embedded into the code of the jpeg, which is just brilliant, and unfortunately this only supports jpegs.

Priced at $99.

Looks like Shelto has been updating his internet robot project from couple months ago.

Check out this cool internet controlled security robots made with some CUBLOC PLCs and GPS modules.

We’ve lowered the overall profile and given Turtle (or should it be Tiger), a new paint job. We have also added a GPS unit. The GPS feeds signals to the CUBLOC micro controller which sends the location back to the controlling pc on the internet.

DIY HACK – Howto Hack a Compact GPS!

max — Wed, 03 Jan 2007 11:35:29 +0000

Here’s a cool GPS serial hack using a Compact GPS from older PDAs.

Below is a description of how to modify the compactGPS to work with a standard serial port. This mod will allow you to use the device using your PDA serial port, a PC serial port, and a PDA/GPS car kit.

This device is a compact flash adapter for GPS If you are a walker or hiker, you should look at this device. It is very accurate, and has a very low data acquisition time.
This worked fantastically for me for 2 years, until I discovered TomTom. I purchased tomtom and installed it. This also worked fantastically. I could plug in the receiver, and get a location of my car! The only problem I had was that I didn’t have enough memory in the PDA to accomodate large maps. I was stuck with very small maps. The problem is that the GPS receiver uses the Compact flash port… The same port I need for a memory card upgrade
This became very annoying, and I went to work…

DIY Tool – Epson unveils smallest GPS chip ever

max — Tue, 26 Dec 2006 22:41:53 +0000

Here’s the smallest GPS chip ever! Great news for us
hackers and DIYers!

PhysOrg.com says “thanks to clever use of space-saving technology the S4E19863 series is the world’s smallest GPS module (7 mm x 6 mm x 1.28 mm), making it ideal for applications with limited component space, such as mobile phones. ”

Epson’s new GPS is already being massed produced and is already integrated into NTT DoCoMo’s FOMA 903i series mobile phone. It does look extra tiny on that finger there.

Useful technology, overpriced – OnStar for GM, Chevy vehicles

max — Wed, 22 Nov 2006 23:42:42 +0000

Here’s a useful technology that I personally have on my car because I couldn’t opt out unless I got
the car with it. The news that OnStar could go black for millions of analog subscribers in ‘08 tells
only one story, that a useful technology that is overpriced might become useless and still overpriced.
I am not bagging on GM for having provided one of the first useful technology to track cars, unlock
cars, and all the bit-bang features that they have been able to do. It’s just that they have not
been able to predict the future which is bluetooth headset enabled phones and all the GPS tracking
devices available.

Here’s a comment from engadget that I do agree with:

On Star is ridiculous. They are very limited in providing help. My car came with a free 6 month trial but I didn’t bother renewing. You can sign up for a real Personal Assistant or Concierge Service and pay much less. I call my PA and have them do anything and everything for me. This company never advertises on t.v., they rely on word of mouth so I’m doing my part, check them out www.RedButler.com – Cheers, Jen

Crop cam GPS enabled plane for your farm

max — Sun, 17 Sep 2006 19:36:35 +0000

Here’s an emerging technology that will help farmers become more efficient using the latests GPS gizmos.

The CropCam is a self-guided GPS plane for keeping up with your crops. The farmer tosses it into the air, and the CropCam will fly around in a preset pattern around his fields, snapping precise stills marked with latitude and longitude of the ground below. The six pound plane can cover 160 acres per launch, which is enough for many a farmer, and is a quick option to assess distributions of disease and a convenient way to document growing progress year to year.
