Hi Oscar, My solution works as a standard PHP/MapScript implementation. You need to keep control over the size of the image returned, and the amount of data returned. We use the search function at the front to help the user navigate and chose the map file they want to use. I have recently built a measure tool for our main site, which I am considering implementing here also, but again it is just PHP. Another key is to keep the interface clean and simple. With the layer control, I don't show the Map, this makes it easier to fit on the screen. I have also used a smaller screen size than what fits on my iPaq, this is to fit better with some of the other PDAs (i.e. Palm Treo). The key to having it work is to return the basic core HTML. Hope this helps.
