System Architecture

• Mapquest.com returns directions to servlet

• Servlet parses directions, returns them to midlet

• Midlet displays directions for user

Lifecycle Plan

• Small initial development• Midlet is very simple

• Servlet has some complexity, but is very feasible given the short time frame

• Future support could be problematic• Mapquest may change its query format,

requiring changes to the servlet
