Phillip Torreone of /run fame told us that he is beginning a “Runner Art” project. He is doing a series of 10 mile runs in different cities, collecting data with his Garmin Forerunner 201, and producing map satellite map overlays using an application called USAPhotoMaps.
Phillip has already done the runs in two cities:
- Seattle, Washington (his home city), and
- Minneapolis, Minnesota.
His goal for this project is to run 10 miles in 10 different cities. I like this idea, and I want to try to do something like this myself.
The only issue I can see with what Phillip has produced so far is that I need to get better at satellite image interpretation. I think I recognize Lake Union in these satellite photos of the Seattle area; The addition of a few captions would dramatically increase the usability of these photos.
If I get more details about this effort from Phillip, I will pass it along here on Operation Gadget.
