Introduction

Completed

• GPS coordinates obtained in usable format
• Installed pocket python onto the pocket pc.
• Recieved and synced up GPS devices to the PDAs.
• Tested GPS with Google Maps
• Simple Database designed here(A message is defined with a title, a latitude, and a longitude)
• Added tags to the database, and the ability to search by tags
• Script written for getting the messages within a certain latitude and longitude, and uploaded onto the PDA (doesn't work when the PDA is connected to the computer...very curious)
• Script extended to include searching by tags
