Location Aware WapAtlas Client
 

 

 

WapAtlas client is a location aware Java application which runs on many mobile phones which have built in GPS.  It uses the phone's GPS capabilities and the phone's WAP browser to quickly and easily open maps of showing the current location.

It works in the following way:-

  • WapAtlas client uses the phone's GPS receiver to determine the current location
     
  • It then uses phone's browser to open the WapAtlas.mobi web site, passing the latitude, longitude and other parameters to the site opening a map centred on the current location
     
  • WapAtlas client then closes automatically and control passes to the browser allowing the user to pan, zoom and search for another location

Customer specific versions of WapAtlas client are available which provide access to maps on which customers sites are superimposed and available as detailed lists.

WapAtlas client does not contain any geographic data and as a result has a small footprint on the phone - the jar file is only 66KB.  It can be easily downloaded and installed on phones which support the following:-

  • Connection Limited Device Configuration CLDC 1.1
     
  • Mobile Information Device Profile MIDP 2.0
     
  • ..and the Java Location API 1.0.1
