Stefan, The smartphone app "Layar" can do exactly that! It sends your server a request with lon/lat and you throw a JSON response with nearby POIs. For each POI you can set a "autoTriggerRange", a circle around the POI. When you enter that circle, the action defined for that POI (play an audio or video file, pull the next POI from the server) is triggered. Check out:

Hi Stefan Our RayGun application does this. It was first developed for the Army to tell soldiers when they were nearing mine fields. In our consumer version it tells you when you are near other users and brokers a chat session. www.planet9.com/raygun/ Thanks David Colleen From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of perry tancredi Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2011 5:05 PM To: Stefan Keller Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Geowanking] Smartphone app. to display website or video if crossing a 'geofence'? Hi Stefan, The Geonotes feature of Geoloqi comes close to this. It lets you leave a note for yourself (or someone else I think) when you cross a geofence. The notes show up as push notifications. Geoloqi also has an API that lets you trigger custom events, so showing a website or video should be possible. geoloqi.com PerryOn Thu, Oct 27, 2011 at 5:22 PM, Stefan Keller <[email protected]> wrote:Hi, In navigation systems it's obvious that if coming close to landmark an alert is issued. Does anybody know of a Smartphone app (and a website?) which displays a website or video if close to a POI or crossing a polygon? Think of an event which is issued when "crossing a geofence". Ideally it's open to everybody (or customers) to supply POI with content like for example for a mobile guide. I found some OGC Sensor Web Enablement documents but no Web 2.0 application - except some local-based advertisement solutions.
