Global Information System

INTRODUCTION
A global information system (GIS) integrates hardware, software, and data for
capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced
information. GIS allows us to view, understand, question, interpret, and visualize data in
many ways that reveal relationships, patterns, and trends in the form of maps, globes,
reports, and charts. A GIS helps you answer questions and solve problems by looking at
your data in a way that is quickly understood and easily shared. GIS technology can be
integrated into any enterprise information system framework. Your organization has new
and legacy data stored in a variety of formats in many locations. You need a way to
integrate your data so that you can analyze it as a whole and leverage it to make critical
business and planning decisions.
GIS can integrate and relate any data with a spatial component, regardless of the
source of the data. For example, you can combine the location of mobile workers, located
in real-time by GPS devices, in relation to customers' homes, located by address and
derived from your customer database. GIS maps this data, giving dispatchers a visual tool
to plan the best routes for mobile staff or send the closest worker to a customer. This
saves tremendous time and money.
ABSTRACT
The objective of the project is to provide the user easy capability to search
one position in the world map like country, city name, place etc using GPRS or WEB
SERVICE & J2ME technology from his mobile. This will help the users to locate our
mobile; can access the road map of the place with the help of a web service from the
mobiles having GPRS and J2ME technology. The Application gives the user, ability to
locate or edit one position on the map manually via mobile phone. If a connection is
established the user can access the world map from the wed service. This also helps the

mobile users to search one position in the world map by giving Geographical position coordinates of the place.

Aim
1. This application is designed to provide the user easy capability to search one position
in the world map like city name, place etc using a Web service.
2. This project is to enable the mobile users to search one position in the world map by
giving Geographical position co-ordinates of the place.
3. This project is to enable the mobile users to record or map on position in the world
map with the help of a web service from their mobile.
4. This application is also designed to provide the user easy capability to search the
position of his or any mobile in the map using the Web service.
5. The application must consider the limitations of mobile devices.
6. The application must work properly without problems on all targeted devices.

Purpose
The purpose of the project is to make an application to use the web service to
search, locate and also provide the mobile users a service that facilitates them to access
the world map on their Mobiles. The basic idea behind the project is to bridge the
communication gap in the mobile phones. This type of service enhances the capabilities
and features of mobile devices. With this type of service one can have a familiarization
over the places in the map in addition to accessibility features.

Applications

GIS technology can be used for scientific investigations, resource management, asset
management,

archaeology,

environmental

impact

assessment,

urban

planning,

cartography, criminology, geographic history, marketing, logistics, Prospectivity


Mapping, and other purposes. For example, GIS might allow emergency planners to
easily calculate emergency response times in the event of a natural disaster, GIS might be
used to find wetlands that need protection from pollution, or GIS can be used by a
company to site a new business location to take advantage of a previously under-served
market.
