[mapguide-users] Tracking vehicles, Displaying positions

[Carmelo Saffioti]

Hi Kenneth,
thank you for your suggestion. I stored NMEA data with separate columns for lat/lon...
Regarding DWG import, I'd like open source solutions, do you know anything about? DWG is proprietary, but if I export to DXF is there any open source solution to import it into MapGuide?

Cheers
Carmelo

  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.

    Hi everybody,
    I need to develop a system for tracking and displaying vehicles
    positions. I'm storing NMEA gps sentences into a MySql DB. Now I'd
    like to display these positions on a map. How can I do? I'm new to
    this, can you give me any suggestion?
    I have to create the map too, because this zone is not mapped. Is it
    possible to create a map from a DWG cad file?

    I hope you can help me
    Cheers
    Carmelo
