Mobile Google Maps application
August, 2007Task:
Develop an application that
- provides browsing a Point-Of-Interest (POI) on the mobile phone;
- searches POIs by category, subcategory and keywords;
- searches for driving directions for specified locations; and
- provides a way for users to rate POIs.
Functionality:
- The application consists of two parts: a server proxy (SP) and j2me smart client (JSC). The server proxy works under JBoss and provides floating-point calculations and all specific communications with the Google server.
- The client works on the user’s mobile phone and provides a representation of map images, POIs information, search facilities, POIs rating and also maintains a history of user-entered data and maps caching.
The zest of the project is that it has been developed long before the launch of the official Mobile Google Maps product.
Technologies: MySQL, J2ME, JSP under JBOSS server.
