Re: [PLUG] OT: MontCo Dispatch system web & RSS

[Chad Waters <chad@chadwaters.com>]

There is an iPhone app that maps that data:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/montco-incidents-and-radio/id420250824?mt=8

I haven't been tethered to a (work) iPhone in a while, I can't attest to the current version. I am unaware of an Android equivalent.

Yes, I should have mentioned that too.  The RSS XML has TTL = "2" which
I assume is 2 hours, but it does go very fast.  My RSS reader is now
checking every 30 mins and I've got 175 records since 9:05 last night.

Note any persistent local storage with one of those scripts would need
to deal with duplicates when you run the script every N period of time.
It looks like the "description" field could be used for a unique key to
handle that.

Later,
JP
