Task:
Develop a tool that allows the user to capture a photo and send it, the GPS position and other information to a chosen address.

Solution:
J2ME was selected as the platform for this solution. The software can be downloaded from a web site and uploaded onto a GPS-enabled cell phone. It attaches the GPS location to an image that can be sent via MMS. Clicking on the application’s icon opens an interface that shows the camera. When a user takes a photo, the software identifies the GPS location of the photo (latitude and longitude accuracy dependent on the phone) and attaches the information to the image, along with a date, GMT time and other data, such as image name and image description.
The software was implemented as a J2ME midlet and has the following screens:

• Viewfinder screen;
• Captured image screen;
• Setup screen.

Technologies: J2ME
