The most distinctive feature of GPS MapCard is that it can display a photo and a map on the same screen and shows an address based on its coordinates. Additionally, it displays date & time and a user comment as well on the map.

I Am Here Map is a Javascript library to create and embedded map to find the

latitude and longitude of a point, using the ModestMaps Javascript API.

It also supports geocoding, reverse-geocoding and automagic client positioning

using a variety of geolocation providers as well as the ability to display shape

contours for locations that have been reverse-geocoded.

good to separate out machine tags and display them after displaying “regular” tags. That started me thinking about how best to display machine tags.

This project involves creating a Persistence Of Vision (POV) device for mounting on a bike wheel. There are a few of these devices already on the market (and we've bought a couple to experiment with); this project differs in that it combines a basic bike meter with the POV readout. The device will display speed and total distance travelled. Unlike standard bike computers, this information isn't displayed for the cyclist but broadcast to other people in the street. By making this information public we give the cyclist's activities greater 'visibility' within the urban environment.

researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have developed buttons that pop out from a touch-screen surface. The design retains the dynamic display capabilities of a normal touch screen but can also produce tactile buttons for certain functions.

how you can use machine tags with your next web app or even your blog. With Machinetag, a jQuery plugin, you’ll be able to search and display machine tagged content as trees faster than Colbert can crack a quip.

Would you know if a dear, but seldom seen, friend happened to be on the same train as you? The proximeter is both an agent that tracks the past and future proximity of one’s social cloud, and an instrument that charts this in an ambient display. By reading existing calendar and social network feeds of others, and abstracting these into a glanceable pattern of paths, we hope to nuture within users a social proprioception and nudge them toward more face-to-face interactions when opportunities arise.

So what I love about WOE ID is it is a simple non mapping solution to an age old spatial problem. In fact a map is ultimately relegated to just a display function.
