In this chapter, you managed to complete the first example, the TelZaViBa tower analysis tool. The tool which you just started working on in Chapter 2, App 1 – the Cell Tower Analysis Tool, and enhanced in Chapter 3, Mapping Signal Strength, has finally come into use in this chapter when you added the real-time maneuvering. You learned how to read an external text file with GPS values and convert these GPS values into projected map points. Then you used the code that you wrote in Chapter 3, Mapping Signal Strength, to draw the cell phone and execute the logic of finding the closest tower and signal strength. You also configured a timer interval to read the GPS records. Finally, you managed to highlight the closest tower as the simulation took place, which gives the user of the tool a clear idea of the signal strength and the connected cell tower at that particular location.

In the next chapter, you will start working on the restaurant management application using the extending ArcObjects...
