Too Vague
21 Aug 2003
Format:Hardcover
The back cover praise says "I only wish it was available to our staff as we developed some of our earliest services."
This might be true for somebody who has been a lawyer or a doctor his whole life and then one morning wakes up with the idea of building a Mobile Location Service.
On the other end anybody who only knows what Mobile Location Services are all about will find this book poor.
It just tells what is all the stuff you might need without delving into any detail. It simply restates the problem. For example the chapter about map displaying is only about "illuminating" us on what a rasted image is compared to a vectorial. At the end of it you won't know anything you didn't know before and won't be anywhere ahead to building your service.
In the end it looks more like a newspaper Sunday edition article to be read by that lawyer or that doctor than like a book who could be of any use to somebody wishing to build a Mobile Location Service.

what! appendices more than the content?
3 Feb 2004
Format:Hardcover
Well, i'm not sure if this is a rush job. One of the chapter is just 5 pages long and the appendices are having more number of pages than the content. Reason is, the GML, LIF and P3P specification could have been provided as an URL instead of printing the whole thing in the book. Can anyone imagine that. Not up to my expectation as "the definitive guide".

What to expect
30 Mar 2006
Format:Hardcover
Expect this book to inspire a new generation of engineers and help propel a new wave of independent software vendors.
Jagoe's book on mobile location services will be viewed as a technology classic and a key reference work.
I continue to consult it on daily bases.
What types of mobile location services are likely to provide successful , and therefore worhty of the application developer's time and effort? This book will point to that.
