Google Maps Mobile integrated with Database Software for Windows Mobile September 13, 2007 [Pocket PC] | By Edward J. R. Google Maps is a native application from Google, that provides detailed mapping and navigation - however only through Internet connection (maps are stored on Google servers). Windows Mobile is also the only platform where Google Maps can use integrated GPS. Here comes a clever way to combine mobile database applications for Windows Mobile with Google Maps mobile! More information from SYWARE follows. * * * * * SYWARE's Visual CE Tightly Integrates Google Maps Mobile with Easy-to-Use Database Software for Windows Mobile Pocket PCs Allows users to build handheld database applications with built-in mapping capabilities. SYWARE, Inc., a developer of mobile database tools for business and personal productivity, announced that Visual CE, the award-winning rapid application development software for database and forms development on Microsoft Windows Mobile Pocket PCs, now support Google Maps Mobile. Applications built with Visual CE can launch Google Maps Mobile and display the map or satellite view of the area related to a specific record. To display the area relating to the current record, users simply click a button on the Visual CE form. Visual CE will retrieve the location from the current record, launch Google Maps Mobile, and display the area in map view or satellite view. The record may contain an absolute address (for example, "1600 Pennsylvania Ave Washington D.C.") or a description (for example, "Statue of Liberty"). The integration of Google Maps Mobile with Visual CE means developers can create information-rich, mobile database applications for end users in just a few hours or days. For example, an inspection company can create a database application that allows inspectors to find directions to the site they are to inspect. Pricing & Delivery Visual CE is available in Personal and Professional editions, and as part of SYWARE's cost saving Mobile360 bundles. It can be purchased through SYWARE's online store at http://www.syware.com. Visual CE Personal (US$129) is licensed for single device applications. Visual CE Professional (US$399) includes a royalty-free license to distribute created applications. SYWARE's related products, Report CE, sqlceEnable, and mEnable are sold both separately and as part of the Mobile360 bundles. Credit: Sy Danberg.
