[mapguide-users] Tracking vehicles, Displaying positions

[Kenneth Skovhede, GEOGRAF A/S]

Hi Carmelo.

If you pre-process your NMEA data and extract lat/lon values into 
columns, you
can use the ODBC provider and make points of the columns.
I would suggest some kind of service that regularly does this on the 
MySql server.

Since DWG is a proprietary format, you can't do it with open source tools.
Autodesk MapGuide Studio can import a DWG for you, and it is fairly 
inexpensive.
