Features to Support Map-Based Mobile Collaboration Technical Report HMT-1102

The intent of this project is to develop methods that will eventually be used to support mobile collaboration. This project uses the Google Maps API along with additional JavaScript code to produce a map-based interface that supports drawing with either a mouse or a user’s finger. Map Features, a means of organizing information on a map by its spatial locality, have also been developed. These two concepts, drawing and Map Features, will ultimately be used alongside other features to support mobile collaboration.
