Allan has put together a nice applet where we can drag the "blip." I
have uploaded the latest version which updates the blip's location
based off of the mobile device's sensor ouput. The next steps are to
implement an underlay feature where the user can have the blip overlay
a blueprint or other bitmap image for tracking. After this is done---
and if time permits---we can implement an example functional feature
like the first responder incapacitation detection we initially planned
to include. The said base station application can be found at

Never mind it 18A is good, i forgot i made a new class and copied
everything over to tweak it. I thought i left something important out
in the version I downloaded. Everything is ok. Back to java coding.

I have uploaded version 20100419C which has been tested extensively
with the phone in the building in an effort to try to improve the
tracking to physically realistic scale. There were a couple of issues
I came across in my experiments, however. Halfway down the corridor
the tracking would cease until I returned to a closer proximity. What
I believe is happening is that at large distances the information is
distorted enough that our try-catch blocks are discarding the
information instead of acting upon it as we intended. Unfortunately,
this is the reality of wireless transmissions and data communications
in general. Also, I have renamed the classes so that their names are
more meaningful and accurate.
