Using maps in j2me

Hi,
I don't know if this is the apropriate place to post this, but I'm starting to become desesperate about this.
I'm a student and my degree project needs to use maps. My application cannot comunicate with web so I'm limited to use maps stored in the PDA. I've searched in web and found the open street map project that allow the download of maps. I'm planning to use this source in my project and I've found an API for j2me called osm2gpsmid and I cannot find any documentation about its implemtation. I cannot use j2meMap (it uses google maps) because I can't have connection to web so I would like to know if someone can help me and give me some tips about the use of maps on j2me without using a internet connection.
Thanks for your atention.

Hi,
A Combobox like in J2SE is not available in MIDP.
But, you can use a ChoiceGroup for providing a list of choices. It's even possible to play with the ChoiceGroup configuration by specifying a choicetype. Most implementations will visualise Choice.POPUP as one visible choice and when 'toggling' a small box comes up. ChoiceGroup configured as Choice.POPUP seems to be the best alternative to the 'known' J2SE Combobox.
Hope that answers your question...
Good luck!

How to map lattitude and longitude on a map in j2me.

hi all,
i am new to this forum and new to j2me.
i am developing a pplication to track location of a gps mobile phone.
i am using wtk2.5.1 jsr179 to develop it
i know how to get location of a mobile phone but i cant find any method how to map those lat long coordinates on a map...
please help me out if anyone knows about it..
thanx

Hi,
I'm afraid that this is large problem... and it's not related to J2ME.
The first question is whether you want to use some map provider and its API or you have a bitmap and you want to place a cursor of your position in the map.
In the first case find an API to use (I don't know any). In the second case you have to understand what the GPS coordination mean, know projection type of the used map, then find and use the transformation formulas to transform GPS coordinates to map coordinates and vice versa.
Regarding the GPS coordinates start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Geodetic_System
Regarding the projections - my map I tried to use in my application uses Lambert conic conformal projection http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert_conformal_conic_projection
but it may differ from map to map.
Enjoy :-)

Questions on Using MAPS 1.0 on E90.

A couple of questions on Maps.
I started fiddling with Navigation. If I back out and come back, is there a way to resume where I left off with regard to route planning without having to select the from/to locations and re-do the entire thing? I guess, can I save a route?
Can I 'speed up' the simulation? (drive faster by, say, forcing the driving speed to a higher speed)
Can I 'start a simulation' from a point along the route? Particularly so if I am interrupted during a simulation.
On my E90, I find Maps to be rather unreliable. Maps 1.0 Crashes - how can I try the new 2.0 Beta?
Is there a 'supported/official' way of downloading Maps and putting them on my E90 given that the Map Loader application does not work? Well, it didn't work last time I tried it, does it work for anyone else? Sheesh, I have been using Maps via my Wireless Home network - it sure does soak down the data - it would drive me broke if I was paying the data costs here in Oz!

I am pretty sure I tried all the stuff you mentioned, except I don't think that I had achieved a GPS fix prior to using the Map Loader.
The manual said nothing about requiring a GPS fix first, it only says to have run MAPS and to connect in Data Transfer mode (yes, I have read the manual and just about all the info there is on MAPS and Map Loader).
I am a long time user of Symbian (since a Psion Revo, and a Psion Siena before that) and each time I buy a symbian device after the Revo, I go through a period of disappointment, then frustration before settling down to acceptance. Apps crash, functionality is crippled by people who have no idea about user friendly interfaces (Revo Agenda was awesome compared to the garbage Calendar used nowadays on Symbian) and applications/System are flakey. I think I might even call this the Symbian Syndrome.

Lots of different errors when using Maps on Linux, help?

I'm trying to use Maps in one of my programs, but for some reason I get all sorts of different errors when compiling.
I've tried both my own (very) simple tests of it and also I've copied and pasted the code straight out of the official tutorials.
//Edit: Ok, I've tried it on several different IDEs, and Netbeans (on both Linux and Windows) and JCreator(on Windows) both work now for whatever reason. The only one I still have problems with is below.
Here some of the errors I get, and nothing is making sense.
On a Linux machine, using a simple IDE (Geany):
MapTest.java:6: not a statement
Map<String, Integer> m = new TreeMap<String, Integer>();
^
MapTest.java:6: ';' expected
Map<String, Integer> m = new TreeMap<String, Integer>();
I don't know why it isn't working.

What do IDEs have to do with this? It's a compiler error.
Do you import java.util.Map and java.util.TreeMap?
Are you using JDK 5 or higher? Generics didn't appear in Java until JDK 5.

What are the advantages of using Map IDs?

Hi:
I am trying to find out the advantages for using map ids as
opposed to just using the file names for the topics, but I couldn't
find this information in the RH7 Help or the forums. Can you please
list the advantages and disadvantages.
Also, I am describing how I wish to implement the context
sensitive help feature for my application and you can tell me which
approach is better. We make an application that is packaged within
a Java IDE. We want to launch context sensitive help topics from
the wizards and cheat sheets. Now, this context sensitive help can
be either be installed on the local machine or network (file://
protocol) or available on our portal (https:// protocol). We do
have the infrastructure in place to let the user decide whether
he/she wants to access the local help topic or the one over the
internet. Will map ids work for both the scenarios?
Thanks,
K

It sounds like your application call needs to call an online
version of the help first and if this is not available to point to
a local copy. Is that right? If so, how this happens is entirely in
the hands of your developers. I know it can be done, just sketchy
on the actual procedure.
As far as the CSH in the help is concerned, you can use
mapids for both versions of the help if you want. If using webhelp
you'd do well to check out
this

Using Maps with Apple

I'm totally confused about getting going using mapping software. I'd like to be able to plot routes along roads in the midwest. Any notion of how to proceed? What do I need to get going?

Depending on exactly what you want to do, http://maps.google.com may do the job.
Click the "Get Directions" link and input start and stop points.
Then you can drag the router (blue line) and even the start and stop points to fine tune the solution. You can easily move the line to use preferred roads or even to account for intermediate stops.
After you get the map looking the way you want, you can print it or email a link (so others can use the map).

Long running mapping when using Mapping Transformations

Hi,
I have a source table with 8,000 records which I would like to merge using the update/insert operator into my target table. This simple operation takes 15 sec which I am very happy with. The problem I have is when I try to call a series of Functions using Mapping Transformations - when I do this the performance of the mapping is dire - it now takes longer than 40min!!!
The strange thing is that when I generate the intermediate result and run the code (not including the Merge in to my Target table) in TOAD, the results come back quickly? So I am not sure if there is a problem with the fact that I am using Mapping Transformations or if I am using a Merge on the Target Table...
I have taken off Parrallel hints on the target table and applied the relevant indexes.
I am really lost and any help would be most appreciated.
Regards
Mitesh

If you could let us know what kind of functions you are using? I had experienced the same problem while calling a function using a Mapping Transformation. The functions used a cursor and for every source record these function were getting called and the cursor was opened and closed, which caused a performance bottleneck.
Better write the functions with direct SQLs and no cursors, if possible or use a temporary table, joiner operator or look up operator to achieve the task.
This should reduce the execution time considerably.

I cannot use maps in india, n thats shame for ios6

I was trying to use maps on ipad2 and iphone 4, i was helpless to use it. Called up coustmer care and they replied ios6 is not feasible for india. Why? Fr the kind information of apple , india has the greater commercial market of phone users. I was a great fan of apple, but now i regret to be one of. Apple has to reply on this comment when it can be solve. I am completely relaying on apple product. Instead of concentrating on rubbish publicity u guys should really look at our problem. Rest of the application are good. But maps? The most important thing in apple is missing. Really missing steve jobes hand on it. I request you to please check news papers for the same.

You cannot downgrade. Do a search in the forum and you will find alternatives that might help you solve the Map problem.
The easiest one is to add the maps.google.com link to your homescreen. It is not perfect but it works.

Creating context-sensitive HTML Help without using Map #s

I am uisng RH 8 and am producing a compiled HTML Help file.
I am wondering if there is another way to call a topic from our application without using the MAP numbers in RH.
The developer would like to use the MAP ID (string) instead.
Is there a way to do this?
Please let me know.
Thanks.

Your points are valid but there are also situations when urls are an excellent method.
For some projects our developers name fields and we have a method of identifying the name applied. We use that as our filename. By that means they know what the help file will be and can create the call before the topic exists and we don't have to maintain map ids for those projects. If we should fail to create the topic, the call has the logic to go to a higher level.
I wouldn't advise using map ids or urls, I would say understand how both work, their pros and cons, and then decide what works for the project.

How to show speed, when only using maps

Hi
I have a 5230, I will like to see the speed I am driving, only using map, but no destianation, is that posible and how.
Br/

Ah, depending on how new the car model is, the speedometer is more accurate.
Anyway, as of the moment Ovi Maps is incapable of doing what you're asking. However you can however simply put the navigation volume at 0, set a random destination and drive around. Just ignore the blue line in the navigation.
You do know where you are going, so why dont you just set that as the destination when you drive? I mean, that's what the Nav system is for right?

How to delete Duplicate records from the informatica target using mapping?

Hi, I have a scenario like below: In my mapping I have a source, which may containg unique records or duplicate records. Source and target are different tables. I have a target in my mapping which contains duplicate records. Using Mapping I have to delete the duplicate records in the target table. Target table does not contain any surrogate key. We can use target table as a look up table, but target table cannot be used as source in the mapping. We cannot use post SQL.

Hi All, I have multiple flat files which i need to load in a single table.I did that using indirect option at session level.But need to dig out on how to populate substring of header in name column in target table. i have two columns Id and Name. in all input file I have only one column 'id' with header like H|ABCD|Date. I need to populate target like below example. File 1 File2 H|ABCD|Date. H|EFGH|Date.1 42 5 3 6 Target tale: Id Name1 ABCD2 ABCD3 ABCD4 EFGH5 EFGH6 EFGH can anyone help on what should be the logic to get this data in a table in informatica.

Using MAPI with JavaMail

I want to use MAPI protocol to send mail. Is it possible with java mail API.
I would appreciate if some body can give me a solution.
Thanks
Saikumar

There are only two JavaMail providers by Sun and are for POP3 and IMAP.
For MAPI, there is no JavaMail provider, but JIntegra has a product called
JESP-JavaMail Exchange Service Provider.
This is JavaMail implementation and is like a provider.
You can use this provider, which internally makes MAPI calls.
