That way hitch hikers may see where they are and arrange to meet up should they be on similar paths. Sure some people may have privacy concerns, but personally if i had a car and was on a roadtrip i would not mind carrying such gear.

: Not a bad idea actually. The biggest problem would be implementing a software for mobile phones. You won't need hsdpa, i actually did that with my gprs-only phone, using [http://www.mgmaps.com/ mgmaps]. If you find a open source software, or something that is customizable enough to let it work with hitchwiki, let me know :) We could at least start with a little community map, showing where people are hitchhiking at the moment, and hope that some drivers will join as well. The next problem will be the costs. Here in Germany, people hardly use internet on their mobiles, as it can be very expensive. There are some cheap providers, but usually people don't know their price plans and just thin k it's too expensive, so they don't use it. And if you go abroad, it's definitely way too expensive. But hey, I'll do some research and put it on my to-do-list :) --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 20:31, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
