LocViewer v2.0 S60v3 J2ME Update

ellerinesaglik · March 12th, 2009, 09:21 PM

LocViewer loads map sections according to the current position from a Web service from the Internet and indicates the position on the display of the mobile phone. As data source e.g. road maps or satellite photos can be selected. In addition the speed and the moving direction are indicated. The map sections can be panned and zoomed.

In order to reduce data traffic, the map sections are stored in the mobile phone. So a map section must be downloaded only once.

LocViewer runs on all phones which support at least CLDC 1.1 and MIDP 2.0 and allow access to Bluetooth (JSR 82) or the serial interface (data cable). That applies to nearly all current mobile phone models. Alternatively an integrated GPS receiver can be used if it can be accessed using JSR 179.

GPS receivers with Bluetooth or serial interface are supported, which provide the NMEA 0183 sentences GGA and VTG or RMC. That nearly all at the market available might be.

In the connection mode "Network/Internal" the Location API (JSR 179) is used. In this case no external GPS receiver is needed. In this case the location is determined by the GPS receiver or by the network provider. The latter is obviously supported however in Germany so far by no provider.

LocViewer can load maps from Google Maps™, Yahoo! Maps™, and ESRI™. For the use of the ESRI™ services, a free ESRI™ Global Account is required. In a second step a registration for the ArcWeb Services™–Public Services is needed. Unfortunately a new registration is not possible any more. Existing customers can use these services until 30.06.2009. For the usage of Google Maps™ und Yahoo! Maps™ no registration is required.

LocViewer is Freeware.

Installation

* Unzip the file LocViewer.zip on a PC and install the application according to the type of your mobile phone. Further references you can find in the FAQ.
* Make sure that Internet access is configured correctly (GPRS or UMTS preferred). Any Internet sites must be accessible, not only those of your provider. On Siemens devices the HTTP profile must be configured correctly.

Usage

* If applicable switch on GPRS.
* Start LocViewer.

Menu
* If needed, enter user name and password of your ESRI™ account in menu "Options" and change the desired connection mode. On Bluetooth capable mobile phones Bluetooth is preset, otherwise the data cable. In addition with selection of the data cable the Baud rate can be changed. The NMEA default value of 4800 Bit/s is preset. Furthermore, the level of the device’s backlight can be adjusted. A value of 0 normally causes that the light goes off after a few seconds. As data source Google is recommended. If needed, the automatic or manual altitude correction can be activated. Push the "OK" button to save the options. If this function is not directly accessible on a function button, it hides behind the button "Options."

Options
* To display the map section, choose "Map". In the top the coordinates, the altitude, the speed, and the driving direction are indicated. The display can be switched to show UTM coordinates (Universal Transverse Mercator) or MGRS/UTMREF coordinates (Military Grid Reference System). In this case the Zone, Easting, and Northing are displayed. This information as well as the permanent position actualization can be switched off in the menu. The color of the cursor reflects the validity of the GPS data.
