The Transborder Immigrant Tool Helps Mexicans Cross Over Safely
2009 November 15
What is the device, exactly?
We looked at the Motorola i455 cell phone, which is under $30, available even cheaper on eBay, and includes a free GPS applet. We were able to crack it and create a simple compasslike navigation system. We were also able to add other information, like where to find water left by the Border Angels, where to find Quaker help centers that will wrap your feet, how far you are from the highway–things to make the application really benefit individuals who are crossing the border.
