[maemo-developers] web based local application GUIs

[From: Darius Jack]

Hi,
why not ?
It's a very popular gps monitoring application to send gps data to www server
from gps-enabled cell phone, over GPRS.
It works fine for car, personal monitoring.
2 years ago I run such server and could watch tracks of 100 car live in maps application.
There is nothing special to send gps data that way.
To have local search you can run middle-server communicating with Google local
and Nokia tablet, residing gps data and query string and sending back search results.

Why do you mean to introduce your idea as a standard ?
Some ppl need some privacy from time to time.

There is another solution. Under latest EUC proposal 
operator of cell phone and manufacturer of sim card could be obliged to incorporate gps chip into sim card to let operators of alarm phone to know exact geoposition of a calling party on a map.

Another idea and solution already known in PDA +cell phone + gps market.

I see no problem to incorporate your ideas into N770, N800, N810 (not smartphones).

You can go to local.google.com and put in a location, then do something like search for the nearest pizza point. Works great.

Also some windows mobile and j2me phones/PDAs can download a google maps app that talks to the gps device.

But what I'm talking about is a standard that any website can use automatically by embedding something like  into their page and getting back a javascript object with the latitude & longitude info.
