Gear Live Appears In O’Reilly’s Google Maps Hacks Book
Alright peeps, I know you all remember that Google Maps Saved Me From A Traffic Ticket story we did last year right? In case you missed it, we used Google Maps - pulling it up while in a court of law - to show that a police officer was lying (or had a horrible memory) and that the ticket presented should be thrown out. Oh, and we won.

It seems like it happened to me only yesterday. I wish Google would’ve gotten me out of a speeding ticket (my first ticket where I was found guilty) that I received a month ago….

Yeah, did they mention the site, or at least hook you up w/ some cash for the story since they are selling the book for $29.99 a pop?

They gave us full byline credit, listed our names, and gave a permalink to the story. The book is actually quite good
