  Nuviphone, Dominos in Geo News

  Posted: January 31st, 2008, 3:30pm CET

  Tags:  Tracking  

  Garmin has, as some expected, launched its first phone, which focuses on navigation. It's called the nuviphone. Garmin doesn't yet have any information on its website, but there's plenty of coverage elsewhere, including at Engadget and the Kansas City Star.
  
  Also, word from Dominos you can now track your pizza order to your door - at least from 3,200 outlets. But, it's really a "what step is it at" tracking, there's no geo involved. From the PR:

  
  Once customers place an order, they can go to www.dominos.com and click on the Pizza Tracker icon. They will see a horizontal bar that lights up red as each step in the process is completed. Customers will see confirmation of their order being received by the store; when it's being prepared; when it's been placed in the oven; when it's been boxed and placed in the Domino's HeatWave(TM) bag; and finally, when it's on its way for delivery.

  
  Still, Dominos has applied for a patent on the technology.

  Quote of the Week

  Posted: January 31st, 2008, 2:27pm CET

  "The collaborative expects to develop the ability to map the full range of plant biology research in much the same way that Google Earth and Mapquest use mapping technology. Researchers could then use the application to "zoom" in and out of various levels of plant biology, from the molecular to the ecosystem, the grant administrators said."

  Large Scale Weed Mapping via Landsat

  Posted: January 31st, 2008, 1:50pm CET

  Tags:  Remote Sensing  

  "No-one has ever attempted to map weeds using remote sensing technology on such a large scale before," reports Minister for Primary Industries and Fisheries, Tim Mulherin of Queensland, Australia's efforts.
  
  The weed in question is lantana which is among the 20 "weeds of national significance." It forms dense areas so ground observations are limited. Thus the use of satellite imagery and GIS.
