This is my design for Spaceweb MK 2 - the portable part. At the bottom left is the electronic compass, at the bottom middle is the processor, the silver box is the GPS receiver, at the top, off board in this photo, is the graphics screen. The Nokia phone is being used as a modem to the public telephone system. This whole set-up can be used globally given that the phone is set for roaming and that my server back at NCR is informed of all the locations. It was proposed that the system would tap into the www for its data in the final version. An oem phone module would be used in the final system NOT a domestic phone.

The prototype portable hand-held device incorporated an ordinary mobile phone, a GPS receiver an electronic compass and a micro-processor. So, if you walked around central London and pointed the device at an indexed building (one that I programmed into the server's database at NCR) and pressed a button, the device would dial back to the server with the global position co-ordinates and also the compass bearing. If you were at a location with recognised co-ordinates and if the compass said you were facing the right way to be looking at an indexed site, then the server would send the data and pictures for that location
