Live-demo of the generated map or checkout the full screen version

Features

• Automatically plot your adventure progress on a gorgeous map
• Grabs your SPOT checkins and tracking data
• Post messages and photos from your Android device (requires data)

1. SPOT Fetcher

   Periodically fetches the latest data from a SPOT GPS messenger data feed and stores it in a SQL database.

2. SQL Database

   Stores the raw spot data, as well as manual data uploaded from the Android app

3. REST API

   Exposes trip data via HTTP. Updates to trips can be submitted (from the Android app)

4. CartoDB syncher

   Syncs geo data with a cartodb table.

5. Android App

   Upload tracks or waypoints with metadata (messages, images, etc)

• Points - discreet location events with associated metadata (e.g., photo, message)
• Paths - collections of points interpreted as a path or route
• Trips - logical collections of points and paths with metadata (name)

On Transforming SPOT data

SPOT messages with messageType of TRACK are treated as points in a path. All other messages are treated as waypoints displayed on the map.

On Cartodb Syncing

Paths are added as MultiLineStrings and all other points are added as single points.

The following columns are used:

• message - string
• happened_at - date
• the_geom - lat,long or geojson repr

Everything in requirements.pip, just use pip install requirements.pip as well as spot-persist
