Debating Tracking a Trip

ricardo1064 - May 28, 2009 - 15:24

Hello All,

I am a Joomla user and have recently learned of Drupal and it's benefits. Very impressive system and I am thinking of using it for a project. I am taking a trip overseas for ten days alone and am debating on "tracking" my entire trip... posting where I am, uploading a pic, writing a review, the change of plans... the whole nine yards.

Not to be used to comment on, more like telling an informative story for anyone else who is thinking of heading to the same places.

Are there Drupal Modules that will help me somewhat easily develop a platform that i can track and post the type of information that I am describing? I know Joomla has community builder and some others, but it's so cumbersome and not good for growth. If I can finesse a system where this is easily done from a smartphone, maybe it would encourage others to track their trips as well.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Check out http://mongolia.charityrallies.org/en/twolegsgoodfourwheelsbataar - these are blogs with coordinates, sent in via SMS.

You can upload images via email from a smartphone, too.

A bit of custom code plus GMap, Mailhandler and Mailsave modules.

Pete.
