Hi Cameron,<br>
<br>
It's interesting that I know about other mobile mapping applications
since I posted my application to OSGeo. Sure I will contact gvSIG to
find more information.<br>
<br>
I know another mobile tracking application - Mobile Trail Explorer
(MTE) at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://code.google.com/p/mobile-trail-explorer/">http://code.google.com/p/mobile-trail-explorer/</a> . I have
contacted the project owner and joined it too. The difference is MTE is
a GPS tracking application.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>

<br>
I understand that gvSIG developers are investigating porting gvSIG to
the mobile.
<br>
Miguel Montesinos probably has more to say on this topic.

Both projects are targeting the Mobile platform.

Is there any room for collaboration between the projects?

Khanh Le: Yes, of course we can collaborate together.

Khanh Le: In my opinion, there are
<br>
similarities:
<br>
<br>
* Both projects target at mobile platform
<br>
* Open-source
<br>
* Based on open standards
<br>
<br>
differences:
<br>
<br>
* JVNMobileGIS use Java. MOSS4G is going to use C/C++ (which may
<br>
be more powerful).
<br>
* JVNMobileGIS is platform-independent at the beginning. MOSS4G
<br>
will be developed for Windows CE first.

<br>
</blockquote>
Khanh Le: I don't see any competition for now. Two projects should
complement each other.

Khanh Le has submitted the attached incubation application on behalf of

the JVNMobileGIS application - a mobile Java mapping application. I
have

also asked him to join the mailing list so hopefully he will be able to
