For fun I have added a new link to the front page called "Where's BigJimny"
I have been playing with live GPS tracking and the output will occasionally appear on this website. I am also playing with a webcam that will occasionally upload pictures from a camera when we are out at events. There is no guarantee this will work, if the pictures and location appear to be "at sea" then it could well be a feed from my boat instead!
If you have a GPS, 3G and the ability to upload "kml" files in real time (if you are using a laptop why not try "
GooPs
" ) then why not upload your kmls to this site and let us know where you are?. Some Iphone apps can do this as well.

The back garden is pretty accurate given that the gear is set-up on my conservatory table!
The live webcam view is of the sea off Mauritius, a slightly better view than Berkshire this morning! - real live pictures from Berkshire will appear later!

I like it but a note of caution, I have read a post in a fishing forum about thieves using Google Earth to find boats that are parked, I looked at my back garden and could clearly see my boat which is not much bigger than a Jimny you may attract unwanted attention to your self
I have thought about this a lot before I did it. It only really shows the Jimny which is locked in the garage behind all the other cars in the drive. The boat is not kept at home. When I am out and about in the Jimny then the rest of the family is at home with the dog as they (including the dog) hate off-roading.
It also is not working well. The 3G card drops out a lot and the 3G software will not always recover the connection without a reboot. The GPS software hates the server disappearing so it falls over as well. Earlier this afternoon it was showing BigJimny as being off the coast of Africa so all is not well.
If I get it working it will only be switched on on special occasions (unless you all like watching me in the garage!)
