Spot connects the worldwide GPS positioning with the access to satellite maps. A huge amount of mapping services like: street level maps (e.g. Google maps), geological surveys, altitude profiles, weather and environmental monitoring maps, and much more of them are available on the internet free of charge.

GIS Framework allows the integration of Spot into an existing company GIS.

Using Moving Map Navigation, the map centeres current position and will therefore move with you. This makes it easy for you to navigate visually in your environment. You can either do that with street level maps or in remote areas with maps composed of satellite photos.

Spot includes an integrated Google maps layer which can be used in combination with other WMS layers or just on its own.

You can use Spot’s routing feature for navigation as well. It will guide you to a waypoint and give you information on the distance, estimate time of arrival and so on.

Spot can be used for a wide range of outdoor activities. You can add waypoints/POIs (Point of Interest) to mark you favorite locations or download them from the internet. They will be visualized on the map of your device and simplifies orientation wherever you are.

Spot can perfectly be used for Field Naviation with your Blackberry, you do not need any additional hardware. ou can get field maps from your company GIS or from public map services. The waypoint management system allows you to add additional data in the field.

What exactly does this mean? Basically, you enter in your phone number and the number you want to call. Then, JAJAH voip connects the numbers together. Simple? oh yes. But it gets better… The rates are extremely low! How low, how about $0.0245 per minute from Toronto - UK! Now thats normally about 10x that price.

RIM recently announced details of a software update (named BlackBerry Multi-Mode Editionâ„¢) that has been designed and tested as a contingency to allow RIM partners and customers to continue to use the BlackBerry service should the court implement an injunction in the current litigation involving the NTP patents.

BlackBerry Multi-Mode Edition has been designed for customers using BlackBerry on converged voice/data networks in the United States (US), with either BlackBerry Enterprise Server or BlackBerry Internet Service.

The Multi-Mode Edition software update enables underlying changes to the message delivery system. These underlying changes are not visible to users. RIM will activate these changes if necessary. RIM has assured users that service will not be affected, users will not see any changes in the way they use the BlackBerry device, and developers do not need to change existing Java applications.

Summer is coming up. And your gadgets have to have a home when you are on the go - especially your iPod. Say Hello to the Kenpo iPod jacket.

A short while ago we were contacted by Kenpo. Informing us of their newly released Kenpo iPod jacket. This is a tough area to fill your mid-section with. Especially since Burtons iPod jacket has done so extremely well. To be perfectly honest, we thought, hey, this company has to be crazy in order to compete with the likes of Burton for iPod wear. But they have guts. So we said, hey, lets give this a shot. Lets put it through the tests.

We werent expecting much when the jacket arrived. Boy were we wrong. The Kenpo iPod jacket was constructed very nicely. And the fabric felt really nice. But that wasnt really our main concern. Of course it has to look hott, and fit nice, but could it perform?

We apologize for the lack of postings as of late. In an attempt to keep Mobati.net up with technology, the team updated the database and platform used for publishing. All was great. Not. We ended up getting tons of errors, and conflicting scripts.

The good thing is that we are back on track - database archive intact - and ready to roll out new content.

Stay tuned for some really exciting product reviews that are not to be missed!

Thanks again for your patience!
