var fDesc=new Array(); fDesc[0] = "Devicescape SoftGPS is a software-driven positioning service for devices and location-aware applications. SoftGPS uses Devicescape's global, high quality database of Wi-Fi access points in order to provide location in a uniquely cost effective manner.

With this software, you can provide location awareness without the need for GPS hardware, because this software can be incorporated into Wi-Fi equipped mobile devices. The surrounding Wi-Fi environment is used to determine location by querying the SoftGPS service over any form of connection.

Uniquely, SoftGPS can function over many types of Wi-Fi network, including Devicescape's Easy Wi-Fi Network without full authentication. SoftGPS can also be embedded on the device to function in a completely standalone manner.

SoftGPS can also be utilized to translate Wi-Fi access locations (BSSIDs) to geocodes. This allows location data to be determined later by mobile and server-based applications. For devices with GPS hardware, SoftGPS can be used to gain a rough location and reduce startup delays, and to provide location indoors and in other areas where the GPS signal is compromised."; function tShowHide(id, show) { var s = document.getElementById("desc"); if ((s.innerHTML.length<=212 || show==1) && show!=2) { s.innerHTML = fDesc[id]; if (document.getElementById('m1')) document.getElementById('m1').style.display='none'; if (document.getElementById('m2')) document.getElementById('m2').style.display='none'; if (document.getElementById('more_txt')) document.getElementById('more_txt').style.display='inline'; } else { s.innerHTML = ''; } }
