What in the world is a Proximity Cast?
My older brother, David Robert, has been working on a project for over a year now. It’s called Proximity Cast. So what in the world is a Proximity Cast? It’s an idea that my brother came up with while he was flying life flight helicopters. He developed software that allowed the flight medic to determine the nearest medical facility that could effectively treat the patient. Taking the idea a bit further he mashed it up with his interest in GPS technology. Proximity Cast provides travelers with a way to plan travels with a bit more information, and also a way to participate in helping others plan their travels.
There are two features of Proximity Cast that set it apart from other websites of this sort. Proximity Cast provides you with a photograph of what the establishment looks like. This reduces confusion when you arrive because you’ll be able to recognize the location. You’ll have already been there through Proximity Cast. The second is that each photograph of each establishment has the geographic coordinates. This enables you to enter the latitude and longitude, the geographic coordinates, into your GPS. The advantage over an address is GPS accuracy. Addresses may be similar, and this can confuse the GPS. Geographic Coordinates do not suffer this problem.
Have a visit at Proximity Cast. It’s still in beta and if you’ve got any suggestions I’m sure that David would appreciate them.
Happy travels.
