Google latitude is again a global system. It reads your latitude and longitude and puts you in that location. I am talking about making a localized application. I am thinking on how to get location without the GPS. One of the ways is that I map not on a map but an abstract floor and label routers by the name of the location. For e.g. John's cubicle is connected to the router finance.ibm.com. along with 5 other people in the finance department. Then, based on the topology that router is connected to its nodes, one should be able to give a bacground-less map. finance.ibm.comis then connected to say security.ibm.com which is a WAP. The security guard's phone, based on the signal strength it receives should be able to create a radius of a particular distance around the WAP. The point is, if i am an employee of the HQ of IBM, I dont need to visually see on a physical map where the other person is. If I am told that he is 12 mts away from the Main Gate (where the WAP is) that is enough for my purposes.I dont have to see visually where he is roaming. I don't know if i have convinced you of the method. PLease reply with further points.
