[mapguide-users] Tracking vehicles, Displaying positions

[Carmelo Saffioti]

I don't have Autocad Map, but I'm planning to get the trial version to do this job faster...
For exporting shape files do I need Autocad Map? Do MapGuide import shape files? Some people told me that it can import DXF files...

  Do you have Autocad map or land desktop?  If so you can export to shape files.

  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
