GPS Hide And Seek Experiment
This afternoon Jill Pearson and I made a quick game to experiment with the GPS potential of Google’s Latitude system which allows you to view the locations of your friends as pointers on a Google Map. We decided that Jill would go in to town (as she needed to anyway!) and through our mobile phones I would try to seek her out. Watch the video before you continue as we documented the process and it will ruin the outcome.

Although I never found Jill, we were really very close. I think to the point where we must have literally passed each other without noticing. A second attempt is definitely on the cards! Any recommendations for alternative GPS based games?
edit - the video has JUST been uploaded to youtube so will hopefully become available very soon if you cannot access it
edit - the video is working now!
Is it me or does your beard grow longer throughout the film?
Awesome idea, and really great documentation of it. Nice work!
