MapServer on PDA

[Bob Basques]

I can think of a few GPS business opportunities for such a device.

The ability to store a basic map along with the GPS tracking would be nice.

I've often thought about a cascading mapSERVER setup that would
automatically keep the data stores in sync between a static server and
mobile version of MapServer.

With the advent of some of the ultra portables available (that still run
full fledged operating Systems) this idea is becoming more and more feasible
