  • Share your GPS Tracks with timatio

    1

    Have you every ask what to do with your GPS Data and how to share this information. A new start-up company from Vienna (timatio) provides a online service for achieving and sharing Geodata with the aim to build up a social network based on GPS data.

    There is a potential to create a central service to view and store tracking data. The platform should be very open so there are less limits for the customers. It is planned to provide an API for the data so the users can build their applications based on their own ideas. Until now the service is used by so called “friendly customers”.

    I will observe news of this project to provide you with further news.
