[mapguide-users] Tracking vehicles, Displaying positions

[Warren Medernach]

Yes, AutoCAD Map can import, export, and direct connect to SHP files.

A DXF is an Autodesk 'exchange format' and can also be read by AutoCAD
Map.

 

Yes, MapGuide can import and connect (external) to SHP files.

 

Hope this helps

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'm new to

		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
