More On The iPhone Balloon Tracking Application

The local TV news station KOB has more on the iPhone balloon tracking application. The app is written by Anthony Cardinale and is a real time tracking application. It’s being tested by 5 ballon pilots and chase crews at this years Albuquerque Ballon Fiasco, I mean Balloon Fiesta.

“At some point, every pilot could be using this, and we are going to have a free version that allows people to come to the Balloon Fiesta and load it up to see where all the balloons are in real time,” Cardinale said.

Might make going to the Balloon Fiesta worthwhile.

Just goes to show you how little I really know how to operate this camera. Turns out I had it set at 1600 (!) ISO even though I swore I went in and set it at 200. It’s also clear how hard it is really tell any detail on the built in LCD. I’m going to chalk this up as a learning experience and consider these worthy enough for the web only. There’s always next year.
