Spherical Mercator demo: Yahoo Satellite + SHP + GPS + waypoints.csv

4 12 2008

What I’m doing in this video is:

- Set the SRS of the view to EPSG:3785 (Spherical Mercator)
- Add the Yahoo Satellite layer
- Add a shapefile with a few streets of Valencia
- Connect the GPS device
- Record a few waypoints, choosing the attribute values for each one from two easily customizable choice controls. Type: Tree/Lamp. Condition: Good/Medium/Bad.

This is the CSV file created during this demo:

And this is the CSV as it looks in a gvSIG view, on top of the PNOA WMS layer:

Oh my God, it’s a FPS (First Person Stylus).

Congratulations, very good job.

But someone please donate a real videocamera to this wonderful development/developer.

Very cool. The video is a little fuzzy but you can still see what you are doing. Very useful info.
