Abstract

PocketPanorama, an original client-server application, provides mapping data and 3D terrain visualizations to a handheld Pocket PC. The Pocket PC acts as a client to a server PC, which contains all data and peiforms all display manipulations. The terrain visualization displayed on the client uses the GPS positions transmitted by the Pocket PC. All exchanges use the http protocol and remain independent of the network connection used. Within the United States, a networked Pocket PC can automatically obtain high resolution maps or aerial photography around its position with a single click of the stylus from the Terraserver web site.
