Hi Guys
As a young lad I was an avid traveler and hitched hiked from John O Groats to Lands End at the age of 14 and I have had the travel bug ever since . My children and grandkids have also got the travel bug - my youngest granddaughter is about to embark on a round the world trip with her parents and younger brother. She has already visited 9 countries so far – not bad for a 2 year old.So I decided to try and make a module that would be helpful to them on their travels and allow me and the wife to share in their adventures from afar.
Where to start – well there was only one place , the innovative MMM-iHaveBeen there by Sebastian Merke. This is the module that first got me hooked on Magic Mirror, and it got me thinking how could I modify it to fit with my four loves, family, flying, football and travel.
After lots of trial and many errors and frequent help from AI assistance I would now like to introduce the result - MMM-iAmGoingThere , a MagicMirror² module designed for travelers and flight enthusiasts to track their current live trips and visualize their past travel history and future planed trips.
