Mobile GIS combines maps with mobile technology, allowing users to access geographic information systems (GIS) on mobile devices. GIS links location data to information in databases to answer questions about places. Mobile GIS is moving from desktop to distributed systems through open standards, increasing interoperability. Location-based services (LBS) use mobile GIS and location data to provide services tailored to a user's location through their mobile device. JVNMobileGIS is a cross-platform mobile map viewer developed in Java ME to demonstrate mobile GIS capabilities.
