As you probably noticed, there is a dynamic map on the right side of this blog. Not only is it possible to see where we are right now, it is also possible to track down our previous locations and see the whole itinary.
This feature is linked to the Google Latitude service, which automatically updates through our cellphone and laptop. So basically we don't have to do anything but carry our devices with us.
As this was not a standard application, our fellow friend @boskabout from @shadowmedia programmed it for us. He fetches our publicly available postion data from Google's servers and pushes that information into a database. Then, the script wraps it all together on a map and draws some lines. We would like to thank that dudemaster!!
As you see, we are currently in Cali, where we will join a massive salsa feria. After Pasto, we will head for Peru, bussing down through Ecuador.
