Map Tribe

Map Tribe is a mobile device-based tool for "learning about the image of the city," although perhaps that short (and translated-from-the-French) description doesn't do it justice. Basically, it's a software app for mobile phones that lets a group of users see each member's position superimposed on a city map and add shared objects / locations to the map.

The platform will be server based , allowing computation to be carried out outside the relatively constrained capabilities of the mobile phones. On the server, GIS software will be interfaced with an SQL engine to answer the ping requests from the mobiles. Neat!
