I am trying to figure out a possibility of serving maps/location services
for wap and gprs enabled devices. Just interested in what choices are
available. Thanks in advance !
:: FYI: Last year, I was surprised to be able to view a MapServer application on the Samsung browser of my WAP device. Although, my attempts to view other MapServer applications resulted in Content/Browser Errors [#607/#902]. But when MapServer did work, I was able to enjoy basic functionality- zoom etc. I have not had the same success with any ArcIMS application.
Overall, I did not feel it to be very useful given the small screen-size [+/_1.25"x1.75"]. I also tried using static maps [WBMPs] for personal use, but they were not very useful either. So I suggest that you make sure you would be satisfied with the usefulness of inch-long maps before you invest time into making them, and then take a look at MapServer.
