We built this same APP at Startup Weekend Boston two weeks ago, but didn't release it because we still wanted to finalize some features. Nice to know we have copycats.

Also: The data provided by Bing's API was minimal, this app won't be accurate. There is also the issue of how do you know where I am leaving from in the future?


Rest assured, this was rolling around in our heads longer than two weeks ago, and we had no idea a SW team had tried to build something like this.

Not that, that would have changed anything anyway... :)


I've been thinking about this for at least a year. Good ideas tend to be invented simultaneously... good luck with Bounce, looks awesome (apart from the battery draining GPS usage)


I actually patented this about 6 years ago. Now I just got to dig up the patent...
