    The first start-to-finish guide to developing location-based services.

    Tomorrow's mobile applications must be smarter than ever, accessing and intelligently using a wide range of location data. In Mobile Location Services, leading mobile application consultant Andrew Jagoe presents the first end-to-end solutions guide to building and deploying location-based services and applications. Jagoe addresses every key development challenge and presents insightful case studies and interviews with key industry leaders.

  • Mobile location servers and the components of an end-to-end location-based solution

  • Spatial analysis: digital mapping, geocoding, routing, map image generation, and point-of-interest searches

  • Mobile positioning: using and augmenting GPS technology

  • Authentication and security in location-based applications

  • Personalization, profiling, and privacy

  • Mobile location clients: platform, protocols, languages, and localization issues

  • Key applications: navigation, emergency assistance, travel services, advertising/marketing, and more

  • Includes detailed appendices on the Geography Markup Language (GML), the Location Interoperability Forum's Mobile Location Protocol, and P3P privacy standards

    • CD-ROM INCLUDED

    The accompanying CD-ROM contains several useful tools for developing mobile location services, as well as a list of important resources on the Internet.
