The heading reads like a rap…

No geo service these days can live without a Google Maps mashup. Following the implementation of geotagging, we added these shareable personal maps of real time flight arrivals. ‘Real time’ means that the arrival markers appear on the map immediately when you turn your mobile after your landing – altogether with SMS, email and social network notifications. The markers bear the arrival info (where, when) and provide ‘Search nearby’ link. Red markers are past arrivals, yellow are forthcoming ones.

ArrivedOK.mobi Now Supports Geotagging

26 Feb   |   Author: Andrey Deriabin  |  Category: Air Travel, Applications, ArrivedOK News, Community, How-to, Mobile 2.0, Travel, Travel Apps

ArrivedOK now passes geographical coordinates of the travel destinations from its database to Twitter, so every arrival tweet is now geotagged, enabling your followers to see on a map the place where you just landed and have additional context when viewing tweets.

Though Twitter website does not display geotags yet, the growing number of third party applications does, for instance, such popular clients as Echofon, TweetDeck, Seesmic. Examples of other location-based Twitter apps are: Happn.in and Trendsmap.

Enable geotagging in your Twitter account

Enabling geotagging in Twitter

By default the geotagging service is disabled for Twitter users. This means that you have to opt-in to sharing your location and this can only be done through the Settings page on twitter.com.

Follow these links right now to enable geotagging in Twitter:

mobile – twitter.com/account/settings/geo
desktop – twitter.com/account/settings

How it looks like

Now your ArrivedOK tweets will be geotagged and marked with an icon of some kind, depending on what Twitter app you use. Clicking the icon will open a map for you – in the app window or in your browser; some apps display Google Maps, some use Yahoo.

See below the example of Arrivedok geotagging in TweetDeck client. Happy landings!

ARRIVEDOK FLIGHT ARRIVAL TRACKER LETS AIR PASSENGERS NOTIFY OTHERS ABOUT THEIR PERSONAL LANDING BY SMS, EMAIL, BLOGS, TWITTER

Austin, TX – 23 March 2009 /PR Newswire/ — ArrivedOK (www.arrivedok.mobi/hello), the personal flight arrival tracker, is now open for public beta testing. The service lets air passengers automatically notify others about their arrival to airports worldwide by SMS, email, via weblogs or Twitter, and enables users to save on international roaming charges.

Developed by Eyeline Communications Inc., ArrivedOK lets air travelers automatically alert others about their arrival at their destinations. Schedule your flight at www.arrivedok.mobi with the destination airport, expected arrival time, your recipient phone numbers or emails. ArrivedOK tracks your cell phone in the mobile network when you turn it on after the landing. Then it instantly sends ‘Arrived OK’ messages to the list of your recipients.

The unique feature of ArrivedOK is that it alerts about one’s personal arrival instead of flight status in general. “Unlike other flight services, which are based on general flight data from dispatcher centers, ArrivedOK rely on particular subscriber’s mobile phone status. It tracks one’s actual appearance in the destination airport, so one’s friends and family are 100 percent sure the person is landed okay.” – says Andrey Deriabin, Director Business Development at Eyeline Communications.

Based on patent-pending technology, ArrivedOK works by detecting its subscriber’s mobile phone when it is registered in a local GSM network. ArrivedOK allows sending personalized arrival alerts to different groups of recipients, and enables subscribers to save on international roaming charges when traveling abroad.

“The service is designed to be both fun and useful,” says Andrey Deriabin. “Air travelers usually spend remarkable amount of money when texting or making phone calls in roaming just to let someone know they landed fine. With ArrivedOK those people who care about their expenses will be able to make it for less.”

ArrivedOK starts its public beta testing with 29 mobile networks in 10 selected countries. For more information visit http://www.arrivedok.mobi/hello
