gvSIG is a Geographic Information System (GIS), that is, a desktop application designed for capturing, storing, handling, analyzing and deploying any kind of referenced geographic information in order ... [More] to solve management and planning complex problems. gvSIG Mobile aims at broadening gvSIG execution platforms to a range of mobile devices, in order to give an answer to the needings of a growing number of mobile solutions users, who wish to use a GIS on different types of devices. So far, gvSIG Mobile is a Geographic Information System, as well as a Spatial Data Infrastructures client for mobile devices. [Less]

Can record cell tower ID on devices with active GSM phone Devices with access to a GPS can use GPS Features: Current position can be marked on the map Map can be scrolled automatically to keep current position in view Track of journey can be recorded to .gpx file Can send current position to a web site Tested devices: Developed using AT&T Tilt Tested on AT&T Fuze (high screen resolution makes map details smaller) Test results on other devices are welcome The barcode below leads to the mobile installer. Point your mobile browser at www.i-nigma.mobi to get a free barcode reader. Source Code All source code is available as open source. VataviaMap is written using VB.Net. Most code is shared between both versions. VataviaMap Desktop is developed using the free Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition. VataviaMap Mobile is developed with Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition. Express Edition will not work. Also required is the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK for Smartphone downloadable from Microsoft GPS_API is a C# library used to provide GPS and other Windows Mobile functions. GPS_API is based on example code from Microsoft named Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Samples.Location. The GPS Intermediate Driver, introduced in Windows Mobile 5, is used. This driver allows sharing of a GPS by multiple applications. A big change would be needed to support GPS devices that cannot be accessed through the intermediate driver. This project was formerly hosted on the MapWindow svn server under the name OSM_VBnet. Versions before 17 May 2009 may still be found there. [Less]

Occyd is an application for social tagging of geolocations, aimed at GPS-enabled network-connected devices. It currently consists of an Android client for tagging and searching, and a server backend ... [More] running on Google App Engine. The word Occyd is pronounced like 'rockied' or 'oggied'. Most up-to-date source code is hosted at GitHub ( http://github.com/pansapiens/occyd-android and http://github.com/pansapiens/occyd-gae-server ), while bug tracking is managed here. [Less]

OverviewThis program allows turning any GSM phone supporting python and bluetooth into a GPS car antitheft. Upon receiving properly formatted SMS, phone replies with an SMS containing its GPS position ... [More] and/or uploading position to a web server. Program can work in "one reply" and "tracking" mode; in the second case, upon receving the triggering SMS is starts sending location-SMSs (or uploading data)at user-defined time intervals, to allow real time tracking. No subscription to online service required, just a cellphone subscription is required. Variant with SMS sending can be useful in case no PHP-supporting server is available. Written in Pys60, tested on Nokia 6600/6680. DetailsAlternativesThere are several programs around capable of tracking a phone via GPS, but looks like all of them require "free subscription" to some services, or they only allow tracking through GoogleMaps, or just export KML files to be manually loaded into GoogleEarth. Boring. I have a better idea: I publish the source of a PHP script which anyone can store on any server he likes, possibly a free hosting service (which must support PHP, such as http://www.altervista.org ). How it worksThis script receives position data from a program installed on your phone, which can be: LCCarTrack or Trakkcor The first is written by me, in python, and it's currently under development. First version sent position by SMS directly to the phone. New version (currently UNstable) sends data over GPRS; being it a matter of a few hundreds of byte, each upload should cost much less than 1 cent (with my plan I pay 6 euro/MB, i.e. 0.000006 euro/byte , or 0.0006 euro per upload!). The biggest issue with my program is that pys60 does not support socket timeout, so in case of missing network the program locks up! The second program is an opensource j2me midlet: just like my program it allows sending data to any webserver (in my program you have to manually edit the source, in Trakkcor you just edit an option). The main advantage is that (I guess) java is more robust in case of missing network, so it shouldn’t lock up. I think my final choice will be to "couple" trakkcor to LCCartrack, getting it called by LCCarTrack every time an upload is needed. In the meantime, you can use Trakkcor alone to track your mobile: once you authorize it to connect to gprs, it does not ask anymore, so you can start autoupload ("Live tracker") and put the phone on the car (or whatelse) you want to track. Try it: See your current position on a web page or in GoogleEarth!You can try it with these parameters: URL: http://jumpjack.altervista.org/lccartrack/upload_trakkcor.php NMEA message type: $GPGGA HTTP method: GET Your upload will be stored into two files: http://jumpjack.altervista.org/lccartrack/trakkcor.txt (history) http://jumpjack.altervista.org/lccartrack/trakkcor.kml (current position) You can add the second address to GoogleEarth (menu ADD->Network Link) and set your favourite refresh: this will result in your position being continuously updated as you move. :) Don't have a GPS receiver right now? Manually send a fake position and chek it on GoogleEarth, just by opening this url (specify your own coordinates, LAT and LON): http://jumpjack.altervista.org/lccartrack/upload.php?pos=42.0,12.0 Then check your position on http://jumpjack.altervista.org/lccartrack/lccartrack.txt and (in GoogleEarth) http://jumpjack.altervista.org/lccartrack/lccartrack.kml GoogleEarth on phone?But not all people has a notebook PC, so here it is another idea: use MGMapsto track the phone on another phone; this program allows displaying position on a map without downloading maps from network, but rather using cached maps, which you can for example produce using Microsoft MapCrunch, to obtain maps even from scanned images! After installing MGMaps, open Application Manager of phone, select MGMaps, and grant permission to allow file system reading: this will prevent MGMaps from asking you for permission every time it loads map from phone. Then, launch MGMaps, and choose Services->View KML : insert the above address for KML file. This will result in MGMaps loading position from network and displaying it on a map on the screen. Unfortunately there is no auto-update option (AFAIK) at this moment, so you have to manually refresh the waypoint. But fortunately an SDK for MGMaps exists (http://www.nutiteq.com/ ), which should allow writing own midlets which just show position on a map (without all other MGMaps options) and implements autorefresh.

The Plazes ProjectThe Plazes.net website and API service are ceasing operation as of August 15, 2008With the acquisition of Plazes by Nokia now complete the Plazes development team is concentrating ... [More] its resources building something new within Nokia, and it's very likely that the structure of the Plazes API will change significantly. As such, the Plazes.net website and the Plazes.net API will cease operation on August 15, 2008.The Plazes.com site, and the Plazes.com API, will remain in operation for the time-being. Plazes is a geopresence service with a rich API that affords the ability to build applications and mashups that are "geo-aware." Plazes consists of a consumer web application, Plazes.com, and a developer-focused geopresence engine, Plazes.net. This project is a home for open source code that uses the Plazes API, as well as a place for developers to document applications, obtain sample code, and obtain answers to questions.

This project is part of live.opengpstracks.net - a project run by private individuals - and implements a small client for gps-data logging for mobile devices (phones, pda, netbooks). It can be used ... [More] with all mobile devices supporting the J2ME configuration profile CLDC-1.1 and MIDP-2.x device profile. The client only polls the current gps coordinates and posts the data to the web-server using a HTTP connection. It is built upon J2ME Location API (JSR179). [Less]
