Hmm, dump “permits” don’t help, we already paid for the dump, let us use it. Councils are starting to admit they got it wrong and created a problem that didn’t need to be there in the first place.
Dump permits may be to blame for rise in fly tipping
Someone clever should do a mashup between this site https://musicmap.global/country/GB or last.fm and GPS so the app just played music from bands you like, as you drive past their town. Ace for those who travel lots or drive for a living.

According to a top-voted answer on Quora, you can hire capacity on a large communications satellite for around 200 dollars per hour – which is what big tv channels do…
“CNN, Fox or the BBC will rent 6-8MHz of satellite capacity to get video and audio back from a live news, sport or event. If it is something like a sports event then they’ll rent a few hours…You could be talking about $200 per hour or more for 8MHz.” – Bob Hannent, Innovation Architect. Satellite specialist in broadcast and telecoms.
most companies just lease usage of communications satellies, look at https://www.lyngsat.com/ to see the latest bunch of tv stations and stuff share their satellite service providers.
Not likely the Govt would make the app, or even an api that others can use to access the registry, but good idea, should be done somehow. Why is it that its almost a secret who owns what?

This idea sort of exists already, but I guess it needs work – or to be replaced by a populate facebook group for each town or something. Anyways, somethings are best lost to the ether. You can’t take it with you anyways.., so it goes.

I am pasting part of an answer from Quora here for those who don’t get it…
Does the life jacket need to know where it is?
Suppose it gets its position from GPS.
Then what?
No real need to have it built into the jacket, everyone should have a GPS beacon attached to them anyways.
A beacon, mirror, whistle and stobe light would be more useful. Why do you want to know where you are while stuck in a big ocean?
They are such a great idea. I can’t imagine going out without GPS. Floating around until you die isn’t a nice prospect, Yay for GPS.
Like this idea, could work with existing GPS trackers, if the app keeps a record of its location over a long period of time.
Expensive but just one of the functions this thing could do.
Brighton and Hove council have finally caught on that adding cameras and prosecuring people is cheaper than providing enough bins.

would look better like this.
Good samaritans to the rescue – think this app does it. Nice idea btw.
Yeah, cops don’t like being a handy service we can locate – in the donut shop. Wonder why.
This would be ace, especially if it had a map that looked like this and animated as you travelled from town to town.
Ahh but can it spot the culprits of light seen from the ground also? Lots of people now worried the night sky is being ruined by SpaceX.
NASA already have the data – There’s no hiding now.
Good article here, its not just a problem for astronomers.

OminiBuzz does the trick…
Google can do it for you on your phone now.
You can find cops easily with WAZE – though its not really created to find them to get their help, just to avoid them lol.
String em up, but not if they tip next to council bins.
You can buy this already…
