A Better Bus Tracker
During one of our brainstorming sessions for our upcoming You Are Here opening, I remembered once stumbling onto a GPS data feed for the Seattle metro transit system. The metro website has a bus tracker that runs in a java applet from 1999 (that’s like 100 in internet years!), so I grabbed a modest maps flex component and whipped up a less-crappy proof of concept. If all goes well I’ll be featuring this in an interactive window here at the studio during the opening.
