I need help with my project [Navigator application acesible thru the phone]
I am currently working on my project proposal for the project i want to do. I need to develop a navigator appliation that is accesible thru a phone and hsa the following features:
1. Load image in display buffer and deending on wat user inputs, then i can manipulate the image and draw stuff on it like if the user requires the shortest route, then it can be drawn...
2. Provide traffic updates from rss feeds [online]- in this case i need to know how to use the http request class in J2ME wireless toolkit.
3. Incorporate GPS System or if any other otpion is there for me to be able to tell the location of a user dynamically and use that info to map the location on the map image in the display buffer
4. Provide info about places using pop ups depending on what the user inputs
5 general advice on MIDP development esp that its different from wat am used to [desktop programming]...
The biggest challenge is that am new to mobile apps esp MIDP,Am a student in my final year, and the proosal is this coming week and ineed some help [or should i say breakthrough] SOMEBODY HELP ME..!!

Sup mismis,
Its a shame to say this but am so new to this i would bore you to death coz i have little (if any soultions)...but i believe if we work together we can go far...
The gps part was quite as process because either way, i had to go thru a 3rd party to get the service, so wat i said i will do is simulate a gpsi.e have a sub component on the side that simultes a gps (as i believe it return the latiotude and longitude positions of wea u are) then using this info i can trace on which region of the map you fall in depending on what mesh u fall in, is that simple or wat?
The othe rthing is that am using J2ME which am not familiar alot wih. Ive used netbeans but for desktop applications not mobile....
But i also have a question, since the whole app would be better on the mobile fully, how do u include the dbase?
well that makes two of us who are new to j2me.
which 3rd party application are you using?
according to my research the LOCATION API would have been the best for us but i cant find it anywhere to download.
as for the database we can use the landmarkstore from the location api or recordstore from j2me.
