Show HN: GPS + Calendar + Traffic = always on time

Big thanks for the feedback Jon.

1. Bounce doesn't actually (at least it isn't supposed to) use your GPS all the time. It should poll for updates every 30 minutes until it gets closer to when you need to leave, then we ask for updates the closer we get to your "Bounce time."

2. Yeah, we'll make it smarter so you can customize which events it notifies you for and which it doesn't.

Thanks again.

Sure thing.

1) Hmmm is there some sort of timeout if it can't get the location via GPS? I'm in a room with no sky view so it can't effectively get the location via GPS. It seems to me like it never gives up if it can't find the location (maybe I'm wrong, that's just a guess).

2) It'll be way more awesome when you can do that.

Keep up the good work!

We'll try it out in a place where we can't get a GPS signal make it better. Thanks again.

If I do not have any appointments all weekend you are going to poll my location from 8pm friday till 6am monday for no reason all?
