[Mapserver-users] mapserver for phones / wireless

[Ethan Alpert]

Well I finally sat down to work through some things with my PDA. It was
not pretty my palm OS 5.2's stock browser is a POS wrt javascript.
Furthermore it only supports jpeg and gif. I have not been able to get
any of the javascript driven examples to work *yet*. The weirdness of
the javascript leads me to believe that javascript should not be used in
handheld displays and php mapscript or perl mapscript is the way to go.

That's it for now.

PS) my tungsten C's 320x320 display does a pretty good job.

Funny you should ask this...I just got a Tungsten C and have been
planning on working a mapserver display for it. My first attempt to just
browse the variations of the itasca demo on it failed. My PDA does
support javascript so I thought I'd be find but there are some path
problems. For instance it's looking for the itasca_dhtml.html file in
/cgi-bin/ which is odd.

Only had this thing a week but am planning on getting into it a bit more
as eventually there may be some PDA applications for my work.

What have you tried?

Anyone here used mapserver or otherwise done anything with maps on
phones/pdas before?

I know I asked this a while ago, but never got any response, trying
again.

cheers,
