Can I get the FF pic on my phone?

Postby dhahn11 » Mon Jun 26, 2006 10:54 am

I was wondering if there was a way to get the real time pic of launch on my phone.
I understand that it's not possible currently, but it seems technologically feasible.

Just wondering,

Browse to flyfunston.org

If you have a data plan and a capable phone, just use the mobile web browser and go to flyfunston.org . I have it set up to recognize most phones and automatically give you a page that's better formatted for the small screen. Please post here with your carrier, phone make and model, and whether or not it worked. ;-)

I don't have SMS alerts set up yet, but that should be doable once we get a computer and a wind meter at the clubhouse.

I hadn't tried to use my phone for any data service until now.
I signed up ($5/month) and I can get flyfunston.org (the last 2 pictures).
This is excellent.

Thanks,
Doug

I have verizon on a samsung A950 phone.

Wind data

You should also be able to click on "Funston wind data" to get the live wind data.

The data doesn't seem to refresh very well, so until I figure that out I just clear the cache from the browser.
