Comob Net 1.0

Comob Net allows a group of people to see each others geographical locations in real-time and connect them with up with lines.

The application was designed for an arts / cultural project and has some features to support its use in galleries or in the street.

On the main screen (Map View), the user is able to see their location along with others who are have entered the same group name in the Settings screen.
The buttons along the top of the Map View:
1. allow access to the Help page at www.comob.org.uk
2. allow users to zoom the map to a scale in which they can see all members of the group
3. tells the server to mark this position

Settings screen
The Settings screen allows users to:
1. set a user name
2. set a group name (You are free to chose any group name you like, but be aware that if you use a very common name, other people might choose it as well, in which case you may be seeing more positions than you expected. This may not be what you want to happen, especially if those people are on the other side of the world!)
3. set the update interval for connections with the server. You usually should not change this value. We only provided this option for those who use their own server.
4. users may also change the base URL if they want to run their own server for more details see the Support page @ www.comob.org.uk
5. change the map type (Map, Satellite, Hybrid)
6. change the way that lines are drawn between users (None, All, Convex Hull)

Status screen
The Status screen
Is uneditable, but reports the following information back to the user:
1. available location data
2. general status of the connection with the server
