  19. …and the mobile piece? • Text Messaging • To: 74574 • Text: voteks 12878 Bond

  20. Voters in Johnson County, Kansas are able to use their cell phones to easily locate the polling place that corresponds to their address. Text the “keyword” VOTEKS along with their address to short code 74574. This information is sent through the TextCaster servers and a secure inquiry is made into AIMS’ information Database. TextCaster AIMS

  21. Address information is processed by the AIMS Address Webservice and the location of the Voter Polling Place is returned to the cell phone of person making the inquiry. AIMS TextCaster

  22. It’s also possible to collaborate with an online mapping service to return a link within the text message that, when clicked, will launch a cell phone’s web browser and show the actual location of the polling place. We can even show the address entered by the voter and provide detailed directions to the voter’s polling place!

  23. Highlights • Embedded iframe – development between 2 locations • Use of AJAX on main page • AWS to optimally match addresses • Don’t return multi address at single location • Do return multi address at multi location • Webservice performance – resolve addr & poll location • Maps for point to point driving directions

  24. Hurdles • Routing Points • Lat/lon doesn’t always get you to a street • AIMS addresses more accurate than google/virtual earth
