Diseño e implementación de un servicio de localización y visualización de mapas utilizando J2ME para dispositivos móviles y herramientas de libre distribución

Abstract

The present paper exposes a thesis project that proposes the design and implementation of a service that allows localization and visualization of maps. The software developed has mobile phones as deployment platform, so it was implemented with J2ME. The application provides to user a means of knowing his position, moving through the map and knowing the localization of special sites (restaurants, hospitals, hotels, etc.). The application communicates with a map server and a geographic data base. To build this service open source tools were used as for the geographic database and for the map server.
