TomTom is a well know brand in the navigation segment where it offers top quality PND devices. So for $249 you get a stylish running watch with heart rate monitor and 24/7 health and fitness tracking band in a single device + really cool extra features on the app. And this is the area where Fitbit is the best on the market. The company had built its business on fitness bands where the most important thing is not the device itself but how the company analyzes and visualized the data gathered by a tracker. Moreover it has a cool, urban design which looks good enough to use it as your main timekeeping device. The watch features GPS antenna and build-in heart rate monitor. And it’s my first choice.įitbit Surge is a new fitness watch made by a start-up known for its famous Fitbit fitness tracker. If you like more or less extreme outdoor activities this is the GPS watch to buy. But my favorite feature is that you can display your track trace directly on the watch.

I has a great aggressive and sporty design, it has a top specs, simple API which allows to create your own apps, it connects via bluetooth to your smartphone for extra features and a variety of alerts such as missed calls, text messages and other push notifications.

Suunto’s top watch model is called The Ambit 3… and I love it. Suunto is a Finish company well known for its wearables for extreme athletes. Below you will find our choice of the best 5 GPS watches you can find on the market. At Geoawesomeness we are interested only in watches equipped with embedded GPS sensors. The Christmas is coming… almost every week we hear about a launch of a new smart watch or fitness watch. Considering that air pollution is one of the serious forms of pollution and often the one that we hardly notice, it is a great initiative. Some of us might have our concerns about the Internet of Things and Sensors that collect data, but this is definitely not one of those cases. Might be an interesting idea to develop a method to combine these two great services together. Remember, the open source NoiseTube application. Since the AirCasting platform is open source, it is possible for many of the current Noise monitoring applications to coexist and cooperate. The results of the AirBeam device recording will enable us to make better choices to improve our health by either deciding to travel when the pollution levels are lower or take an alternative route or in the worst case scenario, understand the risks that we are facing and take necessary precautions for a healthy life. Heart rate measurements recorded by the Zephyr HxM.Heart rate, heart rate variability, R to R, breathing rate, activity level, peak acceleration and core temperature measurements recorded by the Zephyr BioHarness 3 and.Temperature, humidity, carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO 2) gas concentrations recorded by the Arduino-powered AirCasting Air Monitor.Temperature, humidity, and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations recorded by the Arduino-powered AirBeam.Sound levels recorded by their phone microphone.

Here’s everything the AirCasting app can do (information from the AirCasting)

You could also download their Android app – “ AirCasting Android App“. The scattered light is measured by a detector, which enables the estimation of PM 2.5 (particulate matter that is harmful to our health) The data is then shared via bluebooth to your Smartphone and to the community via the AirCasting platform, which is an open source platform for recording, mapping and sharing health and environmental data using your smartphone. 3 days ago, they successfully crowd funded (via KickStarter) their new $200 wearable air quality monitoring device “ AirBeam” that maps, graphs and shares your air pollution exposures in real time.ĪirBeam draws air through a sensing chamber where light from an LED scatter off the particulate matter in the air. HabitatMap, a non-profit, environmental justice group based out of New York, utilizes online maps and social networks to raise awareness about the impact the environment has on human health. Here is an interesting example of how GI Science in its version 2.0 is helping understand the impact of the environment on our health. GIS has come a long way since those days. Interestingly, GI Science started off as an aid to a Doctor. ( How often does a map change the world). A map that helped him figure out that Cholera spread through water. One of the most famous applications of Geographic Information Science is the 1854 London Cholera Map by Dr.
