• Gets driving directions just like on mapquest.com
• Marketed towards end consumers
• Doesn’t display maps – just text directions

System Requirements
• Cell phone• Supports java
• Has internet/server access
• Mapquest must be online

System Architecture
• Midlet inputs query from user
• Midlet sends query to servlet
• Servlet sends query to mapquest.com
• 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

Feasibility Rationale
• This idea is feasible• Servlet prototype went smoothly – the data we
need is easily accessible
• Parsing may be tricky, but is doable
• There is a market for this product
