Road Hump Records...

wgwwd - 17-SEP-2013

As said in another post, I tried to create a road hump record using my basic andriod phone which just costed me 6.7k. I just mentioned cost to tell how valuable a phone can be, if it can be used constructively. 

The road humps are plotted in google maps, real time.. Also data can be saved in internet.
