Hello Everyone,
I'm investigating the possiblity of using GPSDrive as a component in a
college end of term project. The project requires that there can be a
variety of multimedia data (text, images, animation/video, sound)
associated with each waypoint / POI on the map which is activated by
proximity to the waypoint/POI (or could be clicked on) and can be viewed
by an appropriate MIME viewer (i.e. a web browser with the appropriate
plug-ins).
Does GPSDrive have an API that will allow a request to be sent to a
server process to establish the waypoint/POI in question against a
database and, having done that, serve the user with a menu via of data
items which can be handled via the installed browser? I suppose more
generally, is there a way to use GPSDrive with host application that can
act as a bridge to provide other appropriate services? And if this could
be accomplished on a PDA that would be fantastic!
Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome!
cheers,
Mark
