Serving RDS/TMC info via GeoRSS
As RSS and GeoRSS get more popular every day, here are my 2ct:
Once again recycling old code: pulled my RDS/TMC decoder out of the drawer and made a running setup. Then wrote a simple script to generate a GeoRSS feed from it. The hardest part is getting the traffic information formatted right: having a icon on the (accident’s) location and displaying the affected area as a line.
Several searches gave no real satisfying results. Finally i modified some VE and GE demo-code to get at least close to what i wanted: see it on Virtual Earth and Google Maps.
As you can imagine, i’m working on a) a flex version showing the traffic info b) in realtime. Stay tuned.
