    HomeRun is a platform for low-cost development of location-based services, especially of small services outside the mass market. HomeRun provides a set of basic services, e.g. import of geo data from public sources. It contains an efficient communication infrastructure for service usage and offers functional blocks for mobile devices, e.g. to display maps. As basic functions already exist, a service developer can concentrate on the actual application. A development based on HomeRun is cost-effective and due to the modularisation, can easily be modified later.

HomeRun has the following facets:

HomeRun Overview
Blue Bullet Mastering Geodata
  • Import, data fusion, editing [3][4][6]
  • Rule-based classification, naming and tagging of geo objects [3][4][6]
 Blue Bullet Spatial Indexing
  • Geospational Add-on (GAO) [1][2]
  • Double Bounding Boxes (DBB) [7][8]
Blue Bullet Spatial Services
  • Map rendering
  • Routing
  • Geographic and symbolic search
 Blue Bullet Mobile Platforms
  • Context-aware apps [9]
  • Extracing geo data to mobile devices [5]
  • Migrated services to mobile devices
