Something a bit different.
I built a dashboard built on Telemetry from my car's ECU, using a bluetooth module and an Android application.

Allan, can you post a workbook? I'd like to see what it looks like animated.

Shawn,
Try this http://public.tableausoftware.com/views/ECULogwithPages/ECULogging
I've put the device time into the Pages function, and allowed download
Interesting Allan. Do you have any idea why it plays so slowly? I tested it in both 8 & 7, and it's about the same. Even at fast speed it takes forever to move to the next dot. Thoughts?

Interesting. It is chunked up into .1 second intervals, and it's having to re-draw each lat/long every time; however, that is the exact device time. I could maybe put it up with 1 second intervals, but then you loose the granularity. Also, it isn't showing history, so you don't get the "trail".
OK, that make a little more sense. You're not traveling very far in a tenth of a second, so it's probably just putting dots on top of each other. I was able to get history to work, but I had to take the 'fade' completely off -- then you get a very slow progression of dots along the street. Anyway it's a fun viz, post back if you do more with it.
