Dear Amit,<br>
<br>
This looks like a good idea !<br>
<br>
Could maybe GeoChat (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://geochat.instedd.org/">http://geochat.instedd.org/</a>) be of help for the
geolocalized SMS part ?<br>
<br>
If yes, they are planning to get working on a new version soon

<br>
You might want to let them know about what would be useful for your
project :<br>

<div>Re: I attached a sample java project to my previos mail .since
it exceeded the size limit its waiting for <span

</div>
Sir,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The IDEA :</div>
<div>How many times have we called our friends, relatives or
colleagues,etc to know their whereabouts while waiting for them to
arrive at the decided meeting point. This is after we took big pain in
deciding the meeting place. The solution to this problem is what I
would like to take up as project.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The PROPOSAL :</div>
<div>I would also like to propose a routing project which would allow
user to find a suitable path and if used with a gps device it will take
user's desination as input to show the path(updated as he moves). Also
the time of journey(estimated using various factors) will be updated
taking his current speed of movement into account. The ( intelligent
) application will ,in addition, also have a group connect feature
which will allow various users to find a suitable meeting point ( mall,
park, restaurant, etc depending on user choice) and will suggest the
group members detailed plans of travel depending on time of meeting. It
will show the real-time location and estimated arrival time ( speed of
the user will be taken into account ) once the user embarks on the
journey[privacy feature can be added if required]. Every user will be
alerted at the appropriate time they should depart , also other will be
notified once he has arrived the meeting point. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The application can be developed as both standalone desktop app
or web-browser based. I wish to use java for it as I have already
worked on one very basic map application which has basic feature of
geocoding and reverse-geocoding along with weather info search and
wikipedia search, user can store temp record of a place for
future references and also store his favorite place. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The IMPLEMENTATION :</div>
<div>The routing algorithm will be developed so as to take very less
resources , requiring only as much data (nodes) as necessary ,ie before
path finding I would use a node selection algo to reduce time to
compute the path. Once the path has been calculated we don't find it
again(only repaint it by changing the starting point ) until user
deviates from it. Every update in the user's position can be sent to
the server using Xml ,which produces an update in the groups database
which in turn issues an update to other group members using the
application concurrently.</div>
