Location aware systems you say?

Take a look at these links for a better look at what context aware systems are:

PlaceLab describes their system:

What would be really beneficial is information regarding road overlay in conjunction with cellinfo. SVG is a brilliant tool for mapping roads on mobile phone without using to many resources.

If we allready have access to road-maps or road information that is insupportive to SVG, what then? Well we need to find a way to link cell info to a fixed position which again can be transfused into a position on a road. So what we are looking at primarly is a two-step solution. Firstly we need to get cell info signals linked to an area and secondly we need to link that area to a roadposition.

There are ways in which one can further develop this. For instance the roads may be given attributes. That is, along a certain road one has an estimated speed of travel and direction. But looking into that at this point is a little too early.
