tangoGPS goes Mongolia

Tuesday, July 29. 2008

Three students from Leeds are participating in a charity rally, going from the UK to Ulan Bator/Mongolia. The purpose of the rally is fund raising and delivering a Lada Niva for local social work - and having some fun doing so! Iain, Iain and Chris have a cool little rugged Aleutia Computer on board running Ubuntu and being connected to a GPS. Their software of choice is tangoGPS with Openstreetmap, maps-for-free and openaerial map data.

They just today entered Kazakhstan and you can follow their journey (and spent some money for their fund raising) on http://mongolia.charityrallies.org/en/teams/1480/blogs/map

They promised me to send a picture of their on board computer, for now I have this one:


 

tangoGPS in Brazil, too

And Eildert send me a picture of his Neo FreeRunner, currently on the coast of Brazil:



  Anyone else with a cool tangoGPS story / photo / place / usage / computer you would like to share? Or just being in your hometown? Then let me know!
