Flying cars and general tracking...
Posted: Sat Oct 28, 2006 9:10 am
As an experiment I put the phone in my car as soon as I got the phone and Accutracking working. It did seem to work very well the phone was inside the center glove box.
Now that I knew it was working I decided to set a GeoFence up so I could see how it worked when I went to lunch. Also set the alert to text me at the same time. Well! Around 11 I got a text that my car had left the parking lot, obviously without me in it.
I thought a moment about calling the police but decided to check first, I know how GPS can be a bit buggy now and then. Sure enough when I looked the car was right back where I left it. But latter when I checked the web site to adjust the GeoFence bigger I noticed that while the position had indeed changed to set the fence off the altitude had changed dramatically, my car had been flying around at over 19,000 feet! And it wasn't even a Delorean...
