SketchMap is an example of the kind of "mapping" app that can run on a Palm device: http://www.palm.com/us/support/jvm/samples.html Reminds me of the stuff we used to do on the Apple II. Kind of reduces your expectations, doesn't it? Google Maps on the iPhone it isn't.
OSGeo has a wiki. Still just brainstorming: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Mobile_Solutions Nabble has a Mobile GIS forum in their GIS group of forums with 9 posts: http://www.nabble.com/Mobile-GIS-f16522.html Looks like ArcPAD will get no serious challenge soon. I propose we put this idea on the shelf for a year and see if any new iPhone inspired devices appear. Larry On 10/3/07, Stefan Steiniger < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > mhm..
