[pgrouting-users] Matching edges with its raw GPS traces

[Daniel Kastl]

Hi Raghavan,

Your GPS data contains a timestamp for each point, right?
So you could first import your points into a table and then make a
LineString from your points, ordered by time.

SELECT ST_MakeLine(pnt_geom) AS geom
    FROM gpstrack ORDER BY timestamp;

And then you could simplify your Linestring to make it look more straight.
That's also a PostGIS function: http://postgis.net/docs/ST_Simplify.html
