Tour De Picnic
September 2, 2011Ronan Murphy, Dave Clarke, David Byrne and I recently put a site live for Tour De Picnic. This is a charity cycle to the Electric Picnic festival in Stradbally in aid of Temple Street Hospital. Ronan was doing the cycle and we decided it would be nice to track him on his journey.
Thus was born a website that used an iphone, a handy iPhone app called SendLocation, a little lamp coding, google maps api and some html/css/javascript to update Ronans location throughout the trip. We also integrated a twitter feed that updated with tweets using the #tourdepicnic tag.
The results can be seen at http://www.ronanmurphy.ie/tourdepicnic/
