Eric Blue has been tracking his location since 2002 using various methods including GPS devices, Google Latitude, and building his own location tracking system. He started with a GPS device to track hikes and trips, then created a personal travel journal consolidating photos, videos and details of trips over 10 years. Inspired by others' work on lifelogging, he experimented with real-time GPS tracking apps on his iPhone. While Google Latitude was useful, he wanted more control so built his own location tracking system recording over 1 million coordinates since 2010. His system integrates with maps and places and provides reports on top visited locations and track logs by date and location.
