guGPS PROJECT DESCRIPTION



guGPS provide a free and upgradable mobile client for Location Based Services, it is like a RSS-reader based on gps localization.

Thanks to AGPS or GPS coordinates provides by cellular, guGPS Client can comunicate with any server that offer any type of services based on GPS localization.

guGPS run on symbian uiq




Everyone can make a server that offer a service throght guGPS, thanks to standard tecnology like http, xml etc.
I explain project thru very simplified example:


WebMaster John read and implement a service by using requirements found in guGPS sourceforge project.
John want to send a localized list of restaurant basing on user coordinates.
User throught guGPS (by http connection) connects to John url,
User request “locale” list of a restaurant: guGPS in hidden mode send to John server the coordinates that aid John server to send a little and localizated list of a restaurant to the client.
Then if the user activate the restaurant list (called restaurant feed, that contain info about restaurant like name, description, image etc etc.), guGPS in background retrieve every period actual coordinates in order to matching it with all restaurants coordinates (contained in the restaurant feed); if matching is ok then the user is called by guGPS thru pop-up or audio message, and then detailed matched restaurant info is displayed.
