Background Reading

Most of the existing systems for viewing maps on mobiles use GPS or fetch maps from servers such as GoogleMaps, Yahoo! Maps, Windows Live Local.

None of the existing softwares provide reminders and alerts for events at a particular location. There isn't any software product which builds custom mobile based maps for a specific location. There is a very good possibility of the existence of a company that does exactly what we are doing for our project.

JVNMobileGIS :
This software is something we should look into. It is a J2ME based map viewer and offers features like
saving map to image file and layers sorting. There is a 100kb file which can be downloaded from the link given above.
