A Pebble app that lets you focus on the road ahead

#Roadwatch Node.js backend for a Pebble app to provide haptic feedback for "road events" in the DC area. Designed to keep your eyes watching the road, and not your smartphone.

Road events may include -

• Red light cameras
• Speed cameras
• Speed detectors
• Speed humps

Built at Bitcamp Spring 2015 by me ([email protected]) and Sean Freemerman (who doesn't want his email listed). I built the server side components, he built the client.

We used the DC open data portal for location information - http://opendata.dc.gov/

##Stack Server: MongoDB, Node.js

Client: PebbleJS, exists somewhere in the clouds.

The app makes special use of Mongo's GIS capabilities - my favorite feature by far.

##Getting Started Clone the repository, and add Mongo credentials to config.example.json. Then, rename it to config.json.

Run by executing

node app.js
