Searchoptions

Hi,

 

I am developing a J2ME midlet for geocaching. I would like to add a feature to search for caches from the actual coordinates where I am at the moment.

I would like to do this directly from the midlet and connect to the database with an url something like this (for 10 closest) ...search.php?lat=lon=nearest=10 and get the result as a file (gpx or loc) or a list that is possible to parse from within the midlet. Is this possible (I mean from the webserver point of view, I know how to do it in J2ME)?

 

My plan is to let the program send the search-url and then take care of the resulting datastream, then parse this stream and update a little table/db with waypoints in the midlet. From this table I will then 'Navigate to' for a selected waypoint

 

Is there any documentation for the search.php and how to use it? Is it allowed to use it directly or do anyone have a better idea?

 

BTW, the midlet is using a BT connected GPS and will run on every MIDP2.0/CLDC1.1 device with BT connectivity.
