Inspired by millions of people saying "Where did I park?" or "Who has my car?"
This project is for the people who have amnesia, short term memory, a little too much fun last night or simply are too lazy to take a picture of where they parked.
Originally this project was supposed to incorporate an accelerometer to detect when your car has been moved, but unfortunately there were no accelerometers at this hackathon. How it works is that the SoC uses GSM technology to refresh the current whereabouts of your vehicle, whats interesting is all of this is happening in REAL TIME! Our build has a refresh time of 3 seconds. An implementation of our code can be used to track your current location (on your phone) with the GPS coordinates in your car (or last location). If there's a difference then it would send a notification telling you that your car may have been stolen or moved without your consent!
