Okay heres the basic idea behind the project: A businessman is in Florence, Italy with a Palm Vx handheld. He is lost and needs to find the Bar Rotunda. By logging onto the internet on a wireless connection he can enter where he is via a landmark, street name etc. and then enter where about he needs to be.
Once this is done the data is processed by Filemaker returning guidance directions.
I have a 16x16 sub-sectioned map of Florence which I intended to scan into GIF format. These small maps could then be presented on the screen showing where the user is, and where he needs to be. I presume that I will need some sort of cross-reference location facility to locate the user/amenity on the map, and then some sort of algorith to "link" the starting point with the destination.
At the moment I have a database filled with Amenity information such as price, goods offered etc.
I am in the process of scanning the maps in to a new Filemaker database which will be linked to the original.
I hope this is a bit clearer, thanks for your reply
