Benefits

Webraska Navigation SDK combines Webraska’s patented off-board technology and on-board navigation capability in order  to offer users a smooth and efficient navigation experience.

In off-board mode, a “corridor” of navigable data around a calculated route is extracted, compressed and transmitted from the server to client terminals over a wireless Internet connection The strength of Webraska’s technology lies in making this process fully transparent to the user thanks to optimised functions including:

• Data streaming: navigation starts at the very beginning of the route download. The download sequence continues as a background task.
• Recovery system: If the GPRS/3G network coverage is down during the route download session, the system automatically resumes the procedure as soon as the network is back.
• Data Compression: extremely powerful compression algorithms allow minimising the amount of data transferred over the wireless network during a route download session.
• Flexible map corridor size definition: the corridor size may stretch from very light to dynamic “fishbone corridors” with return loops that allow managing local rerouting in case the driver does not follow manoeuvre recommendations.
  

Portability

Webraska Navigation SDK has been designed to run independently of OS and hardware-specific resources. Two different versions of Webraska Navigation SDK are available today. One is written in C++, the other in pure J2ME. Implementations on various Windows, Windows CE, Symbian, and Linux environments have already been performed.

Support

Webraska Navigation SDK (C++ or J2ME) is provided with 3 days training, access to European or North American SmartZone Geospatial Platforms, and technical support via a web interface.
