Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] WAP SMS in GIS
Sir, Aryabhatta Geo-informatics Space Application Centre (AGiSAC),Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, India has done work on sms. We visited this center one day during our Off-Campus training programme at Shimla, and they described about their work including sms based services. http://agisac.gov.in/ http://agisac.gov.in/lehpgis/Home.aspx They may be contacted further to provide insight of the work.

NGO's can later login to vrgeo hosted on lsi server and view gis data. Each project comes as a seperate layer and each sms comes as feature on the corresponding layer. a sample sms would look like gac500032.ls.gt.sp.10 the first code is for the location its tied with pincode + three letter from the place, Gachibowli here in example. ls - live stock gt - goat sp - small pox 10 - affected number but for some cases you can specify decimals using comma 10,5 - 10.5 used for mapping in borewells we use . (dot) as seperator for fields which is easily accessible on phone with keypad. and , (comma) is used in decimal numbers This is a very simple explanation but I can give you a document explaining everything in detail. I am putting Naveen and Varun in CC who has been in charge of the implementation of the web interface. 2) Interface is automatic. As soon as an SMS is received it is passed to VRParser which parses and pushes the data to an internal database. (we sync these database with the one hosted on server on a periodic basis.
