On my recent car trip to Michigan, I logged our journey using SMS and Plazes. This is a cool service where you can geolocate yourself using your cell phone. However, for maximum accuracy, it really needs you to supply a street address. When you're on the interstate highway, this isn't always easy. I noticed though that what is available are an abundance of billboards and road signage. It would be cool if someone figured out a way to incorporate a simple geomarker on that sign that would tell you the precise location you're at. This geomarker could be a shortcode to text to that would return the latitude and longitude coordinates, or maybe the address of the advertiser.
