Have you taken a look http://where.com/create
This is a new free service that lets anyone quickly get a GPS capable application up and running on a cell phone. As a point of full disclosure I work for Where.com evangelizing to developers, but that being said WHERE is giving away quite a bit to any third party developer that wants to try out creating an application. They are not only giving away access to a phone's GPS which is almost impossible to get access to any other way; but also MapQuest maps and driving directions, sending text messages from a widget, and development in html like (with Ajax) language on a mobile phone. WHERE is available on a dozen Sprint phones right now with other CDMA carriers hopefully following soon. The WHERE framework was developed internally by uLocate and is used in MapQuest Find Me and Helio Buddy Beacon so this is not a toy but an application capable of running full-fledged commercial applications. WHERE.com just rolled this out to outside developers 6 weeks ago so there may be some gaps in the documentation. Please take a look and try it out in the online emulator, no phone is necessary for that. And if you don't understand anything please ask me a question directly or post in the group: http://groups.google.com/group/wheregps Several people monitor that group so you should get a quick response.

Hey guys, Im working on a free mobile app and I am trying to find a FREE API that meets the following criteria. Does anyone know of one that fits?? - Returns a single image – no JS or HTML. It's a mobile app so we can only show images. We should be able to specify the dimensions and the zoom level - Multiple points place on the map – the Yahoo Image API automatically places a star in the middle of the image, we would like to be able to show a list of results or have a blank image so that we can map our own results on top - Routing? Does anyone offer route tracing in a free service? Not critical, but just curious… I guess in general I wanted to kick off a discussion of the available Mapping APIs (free and not free) that work for mobile devices. Thoughts? _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking
