From the requirements Symbian seems to be the best option available. I suggest that you start looking into development tutorials for symbian . Some excellent info is available at [url]http://wiki.forum.nokia.com[/url]

You can use Location API for accessing location information. Also in Wiki you can find quite many ready made examples on how you can use these APIs.

Some useful links:

But if device don't have GPS you can obtain CellID information and use it (for example, like "Google Maps for Symbian OS" do this ). For retrieve CellID check this article:

hey i am fresher. wanted to know- How do you compile and run carbide c++ programs ???

See this article - [URL="http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/How_to_create_project_in_Carbide.c%2B%2B_for_the_s60"]How to create project in Carbide.c++ for the s60[/URL]

wanted to know- how to create .sis file using carbide c++ and what is use of perl software?

Perl is a scripting language, and many of the Symbian build tools are actually Perl scripts (or they create Perl scripts on the fly, that then get executed). That's why Perl is a requirement for the Symbian SDKs.

Wanted a link where i could download the pearl software (v 5.6.1) ?? and how to enable pearl??

[url]http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/forum/showthread.php?193736-ActivePerl-5.6.1-635[/url]

i have downloaded pearl. But error message comin - " Pearl not found on your path" how do enable it

Change the relevant environment variable to include the Perl binary directory (folder) to the path, so that the compiler can find it.

In Windows 7, launch Contro Panel.
In "View by:" (upper right corner) change from "Category" to "Large icons" (or "Small icons")
Choose "System"
Choose "Advanced System Settings"
Choose "Advanced" tab
Click on "Environment Variables..." button
Under "System Variables", add the directory with Perl binaries to the "Path" variable.

sir, could u elaborate the last point. Where would i find the binaries?? ...thanks in advance

Where ever you decided to install Perl, or search for the file named perl.exe and it'll be there.

Read all related threads first .....You will get your answer..

Go through [URL="http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/forum/showthread.php?177977-Cardbide-2.0-perl-was-not-found-on-your-PATH"]This[/URL] thread.

if u still disable to do.then try to reinstall it......it will solve your problem.

hie I have developed an app for mobile tracker. . I want to know- " Is there any method wherein i can meaure battery consumption of my cell phone while my GPS reciever is on? "
