Eric, our guest speaker at Woodbyne, was trying to explain current GPS limitations and the 'live data' solution MINI2.CLUBS and Erics company are currently working on for delivery to MINI owners by the 1st quarter of 2004.

The system is in beta phase however the reults are excellent so far. Vehicles on the MINI Tasmania Tour will be participating in a major live trial which will include the ability to track the cars via the internet on any computer that has a broadband connection. This will also include live pics from four camera cars which will be fitted for the tour.

The tracking feature can be password protected with users nominating who has access to the the url. For the Tasmania Trial there will be open access which we can turn on and off as required from the support vehicle travelling with the tour.
