Map Compilation is the process whereby a navigable digital map, such as that licensed by NAVTEQ, is reformatted for optimal use in an application. In the case of transmitting the map over a limited bandwidth or costly connection, compression and partitioning into small chunks is the primary concern. For use in an affordable, pocketable, consumer device, both compression and run-time performance enhancing transformations and indexing are required. In the case of use on a server, run time performance is paramount and therefore transformations, re-organisations and indexing of the data are required. Posted: 8/11/2008 |

Location-Based Services (LBS) refer to the applications that deliver specific information based on a wireless handset’s location and movement. Handset location is determined by positioning technology in the handset, by the handset’s location in the carrier’s network, by the user, or a combination of the three. Each location technology can be characterized by four measurements: accuracy, yield, consistency and latency. This white paper will examine how handsets determine a user’s location, what are the characteristics of that location fix, and how the application can access location information. Posted: 7/14/2008 |

| Understanding the Efficiency of deCarta’s Routing Engine | Routing engines try to emulate human logic when performing a route calculation. When trying to determine the best route from an address in City A to an address in City B, one first considers how to get from the local street to a major arterial, then to a highway and ultimately to a freeway. As one gets close to the destination, the directions would step down the same road hierarchy leaving the freeway. Local roads would never be used for traveling a long distance if higher priority roads were available. Routing algorithms do the same thing. Posted: 4/9/2008 |
