Client development is the fastest growing part of Internet Mapping. Mostly this
is due to the availability of large GI servers open to anyone. Google GI servers host
several different worldwide mapping databases such as Google Maps and Google
Earth (Google 2011 ). With this type of service available numerous mapping clients
are develop either for wide user or focused users. One of the many aspects of
developing client Internet Mapping application is the deployment environment.
One of the major advantages for Adobe Flex environment is that is build both
application for the computer desktop and web application that run with in a web
browser. These are two of the three main client deployment environments the third
environment is the mobile environments such as Android iOS. The mobile envi-
ronment is the most complex and varied of this three. Mobile computer is the
newest of the three, so there is still a large amount corporate maneuvering at time of
this research. In the future (such as the next time the course is taught) a reviewed
implementation will need to be considered.
10.2.3 Exercise Plan
All the exercises in the course were design to consider all three learning outcome
discussed so for with in the research. This list of exercises for the course show the
wide difference in task student did with in the course. At first glance the effects of
the university and program outcomes are not apparent.

• Multi-Server Demographic GI service *
• Desktop Client for GI service
• Desktop Client for Multiple GI services *
• GI Service Standardization for Integrated Internet Mapping Website *
• Topic Based Client Web Application *
• Interactive Client Applicants
• Desktop Client Application for Corporate Task *
• Final Project Student Focused GI services and Client Application
* group assignments
The course was dividing into 5-h blocks each week of the 15-week semester. The
first hour devoted to lecture on core ideas and concepts. A second hour was
developed technology issues regarding GI services and management. The third
