SnapTrack's SnapCore provides accurate location information for wireless products used both inside and outside of wireless network coverage, and supports location-service infrastructure implementations.

The solution offers three different modes of operation -- SmartServer mode, ThinServer mode and Autonomous GPS mode -- combining the company's WAG architecture with stand-alone GPS functionality. It enables on-demand location services, such as emergency-location safety features and mobile Yellow Pages in any network configuration or signal environment.

By leveraging the company's algorithms for multipath mitigation, sensitivity enhancement and fast response time, and combining this with GPS-processing techniques and a parallel GPS signal-processing engine, SnapCore provides GPS acquisition speed and sensitivity while minimizing cost, space and power. Key features include fault detection and isolation for improved accuracy and advanced processing techniques that provide cold-start times in all modes.

The technology's Location on Demand feature ensures a caller's privacy. Its neutral air interface is applicable in any 2-way wireless system: cellular/PCS or paging; 800MHz to 900MHz or 1.8GHz to 1.9GHz; GSM, CDMA, TDMA or 3G.


DeLorme's Earthmate Road Warrior Edition is designed for users of Handspring's Visor and Visor Prism portable devices for real-time GPS navigation on detailed street-level maps. Solus Pro application software allows users to download searchable vector maps and route directions online through the DeLorme Souls MapMaker site or from the Street Atlas USA Road Warrior Edition software.

Users have immediate access to a set of mapping and location features, allowing them to monitor speed, direction of travel, latitude/longitude and elevation when tracking with the 12-channel Earthmate GPS receiver.

Users also are able to locate individual addresses or specific points of interest by city, state or zip code or download maps and route directions wirelessly on Web-enabled devices with purchase of the company's online data service.
