Barcelona City Tour

   Posted by: Stefan    in Mountain Biking, Outdoors, Spain, Technology

Have been playing around with My Tracks for Google Android this weekend. It’s an application that tracks your location on a map (e.g. during a bike tour or a day of skiing down the slopes or whatever else you can think of) and monitors real time statistics like time, distance, speed and elevation. I didn’t log the whole thing, because I was already on low battery when I left the house, but this should give you a pretty good idea of how it works. Here are the two links to view the route: [ Google Maps | Google Earth ]. FYI, I had my Nexus One almost the whole time in my pocket. For that I’m pretty surprised with the resulting accuracy of my track.

My Tracks doesn’t support adding pictures, yet, but you can easily do that with Google’s My Maps Editor for Android. And other than playing around with new mobile technology all day long I was also able to enjoy another beautiful “winter” day in Barcelona (see pictures below).

bliquo – ¿Dónde vamos? for Google Android and iPhone

   Posted by: Stefan    in Spain, Technology

Whoever was wondering what I did the last months in Barcelona besides kiteboarding, playing beach volleyball and jumping around in the mountains, here is the answer. After 2.5 months of hard work, long office hours and sometimes even weekends behind two big computer screens we are finally ready to release the first version of bliquo for Google Android today.

The app is available for free on the Android Market and there is no charge for using it or making reservations. Actually you will even get discounts if you book via bliquo. For iPhone users there’s also version available in the App Store. For now the application is only out in the Spanish market, but there might be more countries coming in early 2010 as well as new exciting features. Stay tuned!

Download it to your Android or iPhone, test it and let me know what you think :-)
