Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to design a desktop utility, MapDUO, which will provide support to offline map applications in small hand held embedded systems. The underlying architecture of MapDUO can calculate route directions for particular locations while working in an offline mode of internet access. This generic architecture can be extended to other areas of web computing working with offline support to web services. MapDUO bypasses the database layer for location based search. In current location based map search systems, the points of interest are pre-determined where the user inputs these locations and the system make a query to database for getting the route to these locations. MapDUO bypasses all other computing layers, thus reducing the current location based search architecture from an n-tier to a 1 tier architecture keeping in mind the limited memory and application support for small hand-held embedded systems. Removing these layers will give the user a cost effective solution for future web applications and services for embedded systems.
