GPS-HOG: A Tactical Tool to Ensure Seclusion in Public Space

Here's some information on version 1.0 of 'GPS-HOG,' a new project I am working on that connects to my former project “Wifi-Hog“.

'GPS-HOG' is an open-source toolkit to allow its user to ensure they are the only one occupying any single location on Earth. The idea is presented as a critical approach to the multitude of consumer devices with integrated GPS hardware that allow for people to keep track of their locations through a global network of satellites. As international population levels rise, crowds are becoming more common in public spaces to the point where solitude is often hard to find. Even with specified waypoints that allow for near pin-point accuracy in location determinism, the system is continually over-burdened with multiple devices attempting to receive coordinate data in similar locations. The project is presented as a step toward enabling solitude through coordination retrieval.
