News Radar

Post categories:

| 15:50 UK time, Friday, 13 May 2005

I would like to use the increasing integration of SatNav technologies, linked to ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ News to enable people to find the latest news about places they were travelling to or through. Imagine, you go away for the weekend to a town in the country and you get a news story about the places you pass; or you walk past Parliament and pick up the latest politics news, or walk through Leicester Square and get the latest film reviews. The best way to do this would be to have a tag on news stories that identified the GPS co-ordinates of the area they should cover, plus the distance they should 'radiate' from that point. In city centres, news wouldn't radiate far (to avoid overload) but in villages, it could cover 5 or 10 square miles.

I'd love to enrich my experiences of travelling (worldwide) by getting the latest football news when I went into a stadium or Spanish news when I went to Madrid for the weekend.
