mobile maps help needed!
I'm trying to design and develop an application which uses Location Based Services and basicaly shows an interactive map of the current location.
I would like to ask if anyone knows where to start, I know more or less how to use JSR-179. Let's say I have current coordinates and then I want to display the map, the point is I would like to know which way to go from here.
The Google Maps API is fairly easy if you use Java Script and a web browser, does anyone know how to get the map from google or maybe yahoo and display it in the midlet without the browser?
There is a midlet available straight from google (mobile goolge maps http://www.google.com/gmm ) which is just great, I have no idea how it is implemented, If anyone knows, please send me some suggestions.
I would like to accompish all the processing of the retrived images(possible from the google maps server) with Java EE and then retrive them and display them on the mobile (maybe as an XML file - SVGt image). Anyway, I hope I have described the idea, as I said I don't know where to go, and if there is someone with some experience with that kind of staff please help, this is my final year project and I'm not asking for the solution, just for some directions and the proper way of implementing those things.
Thanks a lot in advance!
