Here are a few of the products that we have for evaluation on our site:

To simplify the creation of location-aware software, we have created a reusable component for interfacing with Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers called the GPS Wedge.  The GPS Wedge provides a simple, easy-to-use interface to a GPS device that allows you to get Latitude, Longitude, Time, Speed, Direction, etc. with simple programmatic calls from any Windows program -- even a web browser.  It's easy to create web-based LBS applications using the GPS Wedge just by including a few lines of HTML and Javascript in your web pages: your GPS information is included with each page request you submit. more...

We have used our experience in location-based services to create a shareware product called GECco, the Geographic Event Capture Collector Object.  GECco is a windows-based application that let's you record geocoded events using your mobile PC and a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver.  A geocoded event is an event whose exact geographic location (i.e. latitude & longitude) has been captured along with the record of the event.  GECco also includes a timestamp, your current speed and heading, and any notes you choose to enter.  At its simplest, GECco only requires two mouse clicks to save a geocoded event.  After you save a few, you can export your saved events to a text file and import this file into Excel or Mappoint  in order to visualize your data. more...
