Mailbox Find iPhone Application Released

I am pleased to announce the updated version of Mailbox Find Application. This application uses iPhone Mapkit API. There is a local database of all US mailboxes.

Brian Gillett, The original creator of mailbox find collaborated with ObjectGraph to improve his existing mailbox find app.

We decided to scrap the old code and rebuild the app from scratch using what I have learned by writing blog posts about mapkit usage in iPhone SDK.

Our designer did a splendid job with the app icons, splash screen and the pins used to identify various mailboxes, ups, fedex and post office locations.

A couple of interesting things were learnt during the creation of this app like

• Calculating span dynamically
• custom sqlite database with math functions like sin and cos
• gzip compression to reduce size of the database
