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!

If you are thinking about getting a GPS, make sure to get the Knight Rider GPS with Kitt’s voice.  It’s almost like riding the Knight Rider.

the display is flanked by a series of red LEDs that mimic KITTs hood-mounted lights. Further details are scarce, but we do know the Mio Knight Rider GPS will retail for $299

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.

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.

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!

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.

Here’s a cool Smart Car system for your car with GPS tracking so you don’t have to pay some
big name service to track where your car is.

Do you need to control your vehicle using your cellphone or track

Here’s a cool smart car system built using the CUBLOC CB220 as the
brain and CLCD420B for display. They obviously hooked up some GPS
modules and some GPRS modems to make it work nice.
Our distributor in India built this,

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…
