--- Begin Message ---Dear Sir, I am an undergraduate student in computer engineering. I am currently working on my final project "low cost GPS/GPRS based Tracking system." Main target of my project is low cost and bundle fee free approach. Another objective is to find out the possible areas where GPS can ease life. This is for mass use of tracking moving objects and make available to the general users in all over the world. I am currently using Telit GM862-GPS module and Google map. Now understand in many ways combination of GPS device and free online map can change our life. I am very interested to work with you and contribute all of my little knowledge, experience and effort for this project. Problem: Users may not always have system to see online maps. Specially when they are on go and may have mobile phone or any embedded device. But the mobile may not be capable of showing online maps. Moreover static map in a mobile device will be far costly. Possible Solution: Relative Coordinate system: If the user have a simple j2me supported mobile then they can easily find the location of the GPS device (local or remote) by relative coordinates. The GPS coordinates will be sent to Geo server and the server will calculate and send the location comparing to well known places near to the device. The location will be shown graphically. Please see the attached image as rough example. The mobile or embedded device software will have only signs. It will get relative coordinates and data from the server. Then it will match the sign and show the data graphically. My idea may not be enough or may have lots of lacks. Please advise me for proper and effective approach. I will be waiting for you response and advice. Thank you, -- MD.MAHBUBUR RASHEED (Captain___nemo)<<attachment: relative_coordinate_system.JPG>>
