GPS Drawings

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the way-to-waste-some-time dept.

With all the less then happy things happening, I thought I'd share a link sent in by mustafap. The site is GPS Drawing, and the idea is to record your path driving around with a GPS signal, and then graph the results to draw pictures. It's fun seeing the routes superimposed on maps. Simple and fun. I hope you enjoy it too.

    At least they don't try to rob you. I've seen in on the news that criminals in China stole cabs and post themselves as cabbies and rob their passengers AND terminate you afterward? Well, at least the cops now would know where you end up...

    I don't think killing people can ever really be described as "cool". The Taliban are a terrible regime, but they are not the only terrible regime in the world. BTW you miss typed GPS...
