We have already featured David’s map this month, but he’s created another great one that is too good to pass up. The map below was plotted using a GPS device and is entered in the Nokia GPS Art Contest. In David’s own words:
This heart was made using a GPS tracking program and lots of preparation. I discovered the app could be paused for strategic straight line drawing. The actual route was 39,5km (24,5mi). This is for a contest Nokia are using to promote their new N79 Active phone, which tracks your exercise workouts with GPS while recording heart rate data. Grand prize is a N79 and runner-ups get a Polar BT heart rate monitor compatible with many Nokia devices.
Good luck!

Once again, thanks guys for noticing my map. I go into detail on how I went about creating this entry for Nokia’s contest on my blog. It is 100% drawn using the mobile GPS program and took two attempts of nearly 40km each to get the results. Crazy, I know, but the grand prize represents possibly the perfect mobile phone for my active needs. I’m having fun.
