[mapserver-users] Tracking vehicles, Displaying positions

[Venkat Rao Tammineni]

Hi,

 

   1)There are different ways to place GPS points on map.

     a)  You can display points using OGR direct connection, Please refer
below url

searchterm=ovf

 

2)And You can not create DWG file by using mapfile.Mapfile will give you
image format.

Please have a look below url.

I hope this helps you.

 

Thanks,

Venkat

Subject: [mapserver-users] Tracking vehicles, Displaying positions

 

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
