Surveying Nottingham










In order to create the world of Love City we first have to go through some extensive mapping of the 3 cities. Yesterday we mapped most of Nottingham by circling the city in ever decreasing circles.

I now know what it must be like to be a taxi driver now . From 12 noon to 8pm we drove around and around bouncing over a million speed bumps like a small boat in a storm, stopping whenever the motion sickness set in.










The equipment we used was 4 mobile phones to track the 4 phone networks in the UK: Orange, Vodaphone, T-Mobile and O2 and a blue tooth GPS unit to establish our position. In 10 hours we managed to map most of the inner city area of Nottingham. On monday I mapped the city centre on bike.

Let's hope the data is good as I don't fancy doing that again!
