Mozilla / Netscape compatibility
We've changed around our application a bit to let Mozilla get further into the system and be able to use more functionality trouble-free, like the maps. Some forms will still seem to make Mozilla stuck, like sending an IM for example. To workaround this, just click any link after Mozilla gets stuck and the data will get through. It's the best we can do until the bug in Mozilla is fixed.
ActiveCampus SOAP access for all users
Ever wanted to write your own location-aware application, automate some part of our system, or just think you can do better than ActiveCampus Explorer? Well, here's your chance! We've created a SOAP layer for ActiveCampus so you can easily tap in with .NET, Java, C++, etc. to write native programs, or even use PHP to make your web pages location-aware. Let our system and the PDAs do the hard part of figuring out where y'all are, and you just write an application to do something interesting with it. Fun!
New geolocator clients available
We've updated the ActiveCampus Locator clients available for PDAs that might have lost them due to battery failures, and included new locators for Linux, Windows XP, and Mac OS/X.
