Re: [webcms-53] Geo-something-or-other

To Greg,

The term used is spatially enabled.

Most users get a spatial location assigned to them from the ISP as a latitude and
longitude.  This is then located on a map through GPS type calculations.  I think
you can convert from a street address to latitude and longitude using the
publicly available National Mapping system.  Most of the work for this is done at
State Government level through DNRM.

Many of the mobile phones are GPS enabled.  Nokia was first and then Apple. 
Accurate to a metre or so.  That is the same as GARMIN"s Navman devices for
street navigation.

I first got involved in these devices around 1993.

Ring up an Apple salesman or Garmin salesman and ask him if this is the current
retail term....

Cheers
