GPS Art

g0g

I was out doing many laps of the Phoenix Park a while ago and I got thinking about making pictures with GPS routes or writing things. Has anyone ever given it a go? As I expected, lots of other people have thought of it before (googled it when I got home!) and I'm including some examples below. Anyways has anyone on here ever tried it? It'd be interesting to see what could be written by picking a route around the streets of an Irish town/city, or more impressively if you could find a large route that actually drew a picture or wrote something. To start with I made an attempt at writing a "g0g" on today's cycle on one of the football pitches in the Phoenix Park, although you have to zoom in to see it and it's a bit pants!


Anyone else ever given it a go? Would be interested to see attempts!!

Here are some examples I found on tinternet!

Cool idea! Valliant attempt gog. Now I will have to get a gps device so i can track an outline of a giant floppy penis around the coastline of the Ards Peninsula. Getting the frenulum and bell detail will be the tricky bit and may require some offroading.

Richard Long has made a very healthy living from his walking routes among other art.. So why not. He takes things he sees and signposts etc and makes a story to go with them.

From spins in the park may grow bigger things;)

This is brilliant. I wonder if this could have some other application....
