Spatial Media LBSzone Alert - Adapx, Nokia, Apple making new
Written by Spatial Media LLC
Friday, 18 July 2008
Another LBSZone Alert has been released... enjoy this edition for the latest developments in Location-based services.
Hello from the Spatial Media LBSzone...
Please excuse the delay in the delivery of this edition as travel
resulted in us pushing back the schedule... it's now business as usual
here! Today you'll notice a slightly different focus that lately as we
pay more attention to mobile mapping, field GIS solutions, and
enterprise geo-technology. In our spotlight we're very pleased to share
a product review that looks at a "wow" technology you may have seen
demo'd in your recent travels... the digital pen. This exciting Digital
Pen Technology from Adaptx and Capturx for ArcGIS, bridging the gap
between digital and tangible. The Adapx digital pen is both
Bluetooth-enabled and a USB device. The pen weighs just over an ounce
and is about the size of an average ballpoint pen. Communication is
either USB 1.1 standard, USB 2.0 standard, or Bluetooth 1.2 standard
and makes field data capture a breeze. I'm looking forward to getting a
hands-on once again at this year's ESRI user conference
in San Diego next month... more to come on that. In the news today we
share details about an event from Nokia focused on the open source
mobile developer.
We also share details of how ViewRanger has expanded with European Map
Coverage, delivering Topographic Maps Over Mobile Network - ideal for
the frequent outdoors sport participant or outdoor enthusiast. Finally,
we're also pleased to share details of how TruePosition
was recently Awarded Patents that Facilitate Location-Based Safety and
Security Services for GSM, CDMA and UMTS - recall, the Location
Platform that is designed to enable mobile wireless service providers
to determine the location of mobile phones and wireless devices. I'm
sure you'll find much more of interest if you take a couple of minutes
to browse the contents below. Have a great week-end all, until next
Wednesday! PS: Don't forget to check out our LBS user group on
