README for Maplets, 30 May 2006
Caveats
- You should probably be a programmer familiar with MIDP to build and
use this program
- The MIDlet is parametrised using its JAD file which is constructed
from etc/maplets.properties
- If the target device does not support JSR-75, FileMapCache can't be
used, use RmsMapCache instead --- edit WhereMIDlet.java
- The RMS can grow indefinitely; this needs to be fixed, see RmsMapCache
- The basic coordinate mapper, org.syzygy.gps.Googler no longer
works; version 2 is now the default, org.syzygy.gps.Googler2
Prerequisites
- A GPS receiver which reports location using NMEA sentences
- A MIDP device which is capable of connecting to the GPS receiver
via the Generic Connection Framework (javax.microedition.io.*)
and which can connect to the Internet with HTTP
- Ant (http://ant.apache.org), javac, Sun's wireless toolkit,
(http://java.sun.com/products/sjwtoolkit/) and antenna
(http://antenna.sourceforge.net) to build the MIDlet
Testing
- This MIDlet has been tested under me4se
(http://http://kobjects.sourceforge.net/me4se/) with Impronto
(http://www.rococosoft.com) on Linux with the BlueZ stack.
- It has also been run on a Sony-Ericsson k750i
- If you get it working on another device, please let me know.
