I've been working on a website in my spare time that tracks sailing trips and lets you share them with your friends. The site uses the new HTML5 GeoLocation API's for tracking a user's movements on the water and then giving a grade to the trip once they are done. Trip scores are based on time, distance and the weather conditions during their trip. Eventually, you get enough points to grow through the ranks.
I've also been looking into the new Win Phone 7 resources and wanted to make a proof of concept out of the website. Here is the result, a quick demo of a Win Phone 7 app that uses MVC 2 as it's service layer. I created a new "Area" (a new feature in .Net MVC 2) called API that exposed most of my necessary data as JSON based REST-like services. I'll try to post something with more technical detail later.
Now Playing: Styx - Sail Away (come on, that's like... mandatory song attribution...)
neat work. I'll post on it shortly to MobilityDigest. Just curious though - why Goog maps on WP7 when Bing is all throughout the platform (and I thought pretty easy to connect to because of that).
ReplyDeletedid your app ever make it to the windows phone store?
ReplyDeleteNo it did not, didn't think there was a big enough interest so I let it die out.
