Actually, the clients being tracked are not given any information
regarding the map.
Let me give a small description of my project maybe it clears things
out:
I an developing a tracking, mass notification emergency system that
will help clients evacuate a particular city area in case of an
emergency (e.g. fire, terrorist attack etc.) If an emergency occurs,
the system will help each client reach safety by providing information
on how to get to specific safety locations. Such a system will be used
in public events such as open air concerts, mass meetings etc.
So basically, the system consists of 2 parts:
1. server: the server will basically allow an administrator to plan
the particular city area by including locations such as ambulance
sites, safety meeting places, police sites, evacuation exit etc. Once
the event has started, the application will display all the connected
clients on a map as they traverse and move around the city area. If an
emergency occurs, the administrator is allowed to mark the location on
the map where it occurred and mark it as an emergency. The system will
then give directions to clients to reach the safety places defined by
the admin.
2. client: this is a mobile application which connects to the server
and performs 2 tasks:
- send the GPS location of the client to the server
- receive evacuation information sent by the server
Hope this clears out any confusion.
