I travel constantly for work from February until November and update a googlemap on my blog manually when I stop somewhere. With this, I could even post updates while in transit using the new(ish) brightkite iPhone interface. Nice work! I have been looking/waiting/hoping for something like this.

You have to tell it the context you're in? That won't work for me while I'm on the road, especially as we don't have a plan. Did I miss something there?

I have been using a little app called "Marco Polo" that detects where I am using any number of resources. I'd like to have it update my BrightKite account and I've talked to the developers - now we just need to wait and see if it gets coded. Sadly, I do not code.

I have 15 days before I'll be killing for a solution, so I am working on it often right now. Oh don’t worry, I’ll post whatever solutions I use to get my iPhone to do what I want.

I wonder if we can hack a Crackberry to get this function to work as well. KK Nate,

Thanks for the reminder about that. I'll take a look at that again. Yea, I did see that, but haven’t had time to dig through Erica’s code yet to find how it was done.
