A perfect application for hikers on a MS Smartphone with bluetooth GPS receiver. It uses the same maps of its Palm version and Pocket PC version.

HyCon is a framework and infrastructure for context aware hypermedia systems developed primarily by the hypermedia group at the University of Aarhus, Denmark. The HyCon framework encompasses annotations, links, and guided tours associating locations and RFID- or Bluetooth-tagged objects with maps, Web pages, and collections of resources. The HyCon architecture extends upon earlier location based hypermedia systems by supporting authoring in the field and by providing access to browsing and searching information through a novel geo-based search (GBS) interface for the Web.

HyconExplorer/J2ME requires a Java device supporting at least the MIDP-2.0 profile and the BlueTooth APIs for Java (jsr-82). The prototype has been tested on Nokia 6600 phones and any newer Nokia Series60 phone should work as well.
