April 26, 2008: GPS

This week flew by. The weather here has finally warmed up and I’ve been riding my bike to school- I don’t like to imagine that I’m a fair weather cyclist, but in reality I am. I don’t like riding in the rain.

I got a Garmin GPSmap 60Cx two weeks ago- it’s a very impressive. I have been tracking my routes to and from school following different routes. Reading up on the features and the various ways data is saved and viewed is pretty amazing. It has a lot of potential.

I’m still trying to get an idea of how small a GPS device can be. I was looking at the Forerunner 201 today which has a bicycle mount so perhaps that makes sense for the first prototype.

I’m still not clear if I should follow up on my earlier plan to plot and track a series of devices and plot their relationship to each other- relating more to my earlier ideas of how we define a community.

I have been trying to take more time to reflect on these ideas for my project over the past few weeks. To just let them sit. The beauty of having some time to reflect is that some ideas which seemed hot at the time fall away and other ideas percolate to the top.
