  • Eagleeye – Fireeagle and Bangalore traffic

    Posted on May 23rd, 2008 jebu View Comments

    I have been using Fireeagle (FE), the location platform from Yahoo!, for some time and its great. It is a one stop place for location aware apps to take off. There are a dozen apps which update your FE location on a periodic basis, Navizon works great. But the real power of FE is going to be services powered by location information from FE. Take for example wikinear, wonderful stuff which gives you places of interest around your current location.

    So then inspired by wikinear i have a mash up of FE and btis.in to give you a view of the traffic hot spots around your current location. This queries your FE location and then gets the live traffic data from btis for the current city that you are in. It orders the traffic information based on the distance and then presents it on a map in 3 sections. Hopefully that should give some warning of the spots to avoid when you are planning to go out. Traffic information for cities supported by the Mapunity API’s will be given out. So this is not Bangalore specific. Best used from a mobile device. Feedback welcome.

    Here’s a snapshot

      I see you're using Navizon to update your position on FireEagle. Unfortunately, Navizon-FireEagle integration is not fully supported any more, at least to my experience.

      What I did on my website (Shhpot!) is to integrate Navimote with Fireeagle. Navimote is a very small app that runs in the background and sleeps until Shhpot! wakes it up (via push technology).

      In few words, once you have Navimote installed, you just have to visit http://www.shhpot.com and your FE position will be updated in few seconds using cell towers and nearby wifi access points.

      If you want to give it a try, head to http://www.shhpot.com/navimote.php

      Mark S. is definitely on the right track. If you want to get a professional looking email address, Id recommend buying your name domain name, like or

      If its common it might be difficult to get, however, be creative and you can usually find something.
