Project MAM - test run

This week I had enough time to dedicate to my Project MAM (the automatic flea-market-mapper) efforts (mainly because there was too snow outside to go to any real flea market) so I decided to finish sketching up the basic software and do a test run.

Project MAM - alpha client hardware

I finally received my SparkFun GPS shield for Arduino so I can go on building my first Project MAM client! MAM is an acronym for Mappatura Automatica Mercatini which means automatic flea-market mapping in Italian.

Why would someone want to do this? I want to keep track of the size flea markets I visit and draw maps to show how and where the benches are placed. Doing this manually gets boring VERY fast, so a bit of automation is needed.
