About

PushPin is a proof-of-concept JavaME application allowing the user to 'drop' reminders in physical locations, and be alerted to their proximity when nearby. PushPin implements a custom UI object model designed to make JavME applications look and feel like modern smaerphone applications.

GPS data is obtained from a GPSProvider daemon - a .NET application serving GPS data on a local HTTP port (typically 8080). The Demo below uses a google maps GPSProvider to provide dummy GPS data, however a Bluetooth GPSProvider is available in the source package download.
