Thought some other CF developers might like to hear how I'm using cfmx right now in my car....
Many of my friends already know this - I'm driving across the United States. I've got a Sprint Sierra Wireless AirCard 595U plugged into my laptop. There's an option to enable a NMEA port from within the Sprint Connection Manager. That's kind of like a data stream of GPS data. I installed another program that will log that data to a text file. Then, I created a CFMX script that reads the log, parses out the GPS data, and dynamically creates some maps code with the Google Map API. Finally, I created a CFMX scheduled event to FTP my google map to my website. The result - a "live" map of our journey across the United States with pinpoint precision as to where my car is <http://www.jonathanblock.com/?page_id=107> (including a live webcam). The map will update every 15 minutes, so long as we have an internet signal.
