Hi, this is Florian, speaking from Melbourne.
In the series, "Searching with Picky", this is a little screencast I've put together.
So, from the last blog post we know that Picky can search coordinates.
What I'm using now is a radius of 25km, which is quite big.
As you see, Switzerland is small, so you find a lot of stuff with just 25 kilometers.
The data I'm using here is the iPhone data, the cell tower location data, which
Apple is collecting.
I describe how I extracted it, it's easy, it's an SQLite database.
So I've extracted it and fed it into Picky.
And now, as in the last blog post, you can search for these
dots where I was, so apparently I was never here, but I was here.
Once. Or here.
So now let's enable the timestamp and disable the coordinates
and enable the dates.
So, when I bought the iPhone,
I started out in Zürich, and then I moved quite a bit
At the end of November, I've moved to
Tessin. Some friends of mine have programmed a nice iPhone
game. it's called iMapIt.
You can learn about Switzerland, its places.
It's quite nice, you can download it
They'll be happy.
And you can also see that for example
I spent my new year's around here.
Near St. Moritz.
And then I went back again.
But you don't see me
on this January 9th.
Fact is, I went to Berlin, and
gave a talk at the excellent RUG Berlin, with my friends, which
also came.
It was a Swiss evening, quite cool.
So yeah, as you can see
how I've moved around, and at the end of the timeline
which is about now, that I've moved to Australia.
Melbourne.
So, now let's combine these two attributes.
What I can say now is, when was I around here?
Aha, it was around new year's I was there.
Just for me this doesn't make lots of sense.
If I want to know if I was somewhere I can just disable the timestamp and click.
But if you have lots of people
Say, intersecting data, with lots of intersecting geospatial
timestamped data.
Could come quite handy if you can combine these or choose which you need.
Or enable the latitude, or just the longitude.
Hope it was fun, hope you learnt something.
I'll describe how I did it in the blog post.
Cheers!
