Hot on the Heels of the MDR with GPS

With the aid of new and innovative software, BGI solutions provides a map visualization in real time of the path of the MDR “Mann-O-Mann” tour presented by MDR 1 Radio Sachsen-Anhalt and MDR “Sachsen-Anhalt heute”.

MDR presenter Andreas Mann and his team will visit all 851 municipalities of the state of Saxony-Anhalt during the month of September, and all web users can participate in real time.

No matter where the „Mann-O-Mann“ vehicle is located – be it at a kindergarten, a bakery or a market square – it transmits a GPS signal to the MDR website every 100 seconds. With the aid of this geo tracking, anyone can follow Andreas Mann’s path through Saxony-Anhalt on a map.  http://www.mdr.de/mann-o-mann/geo-tracking/6628700.html

BGI Solutions has developed a reporter solution for this purpose, consisting of BGI ReporterMap and GPS Tracking with a Standard WinMobile Smartphone with GPS and camera. 

BGI ReporterMap is a lean geographic reporter software tool for marking points, routes and areas on maps and aerial images and linking them with further content such as photos. The solution is entirely based on Microsoft components such as Microsoft’s Bing Maps for Enterprise map service (formerly MS Virtual Earth, Live Maps), WinMobile and .NET technology.
This combination of BGI ReporterMap and GPS Tracking with Smartphone is the ideal equipment for modern live web journalism. Be it sports events, travel tours or audience reports – this easy to use BGI toolset offers reporters new and fascinating possibilities for their coverage.
