GIS/GPS Programming Help

Dear All,

I have a device (installed on vehicle) which sends latitude and longitude on the Server through GPS. I have a route of that vehicle which is successfully plotted on Google Map.

My Problem is how can I plot latitude and longitude at runtime on Google Map in PHP dynamically on Desktop Application. I want to plot fetched latest latitude and longitude on Google Map to show where the vehicle is running.

How to tell iPhone X that I am walking

How can I indicate to my iPhone X that I am walking (and not driving) while I am using the built-in GPS map services to provide me with turn by turn directions?

This is especially important since I visit a lot of towns that have one-way streets.

I need to sell on the road and sometimes need a reminder which stores I visited. So, a map if where I went each day would be helpful.

I have successfully installed tilemill and styled my maps using OSMBRIGHT as the a starting point
I've edited this theme to get it the way i need, it looks great apart from one thing:

I when zoom out to the world, the style is pretty bland (just one colour)
I wanted to use something like google streets on full zoom out level
https://www.google.com/maps/@-19.3740644,-55.8196685,4.18z

or like this
https://cloud.maptiler.com/customize/#streets/0.76/0/120.5

I've found something called natural earth 2 which also looks nice
http://www.shadedrelief.com/natural2/pages/about.html

My question is, how can i style OSM bright at max zoom out levels to look like the above?

I've been looking an it appears i need to apply GlobalLandCover layers like
landcover_treeland
landcover_cropland
landcover_scrubland
landcover_forestland
etc

I'm currently using Raster tiles

This is the base.mss that I was using as my starting point
https://github.com/mapbox/osm-bright/blob/master/osm-bright/base.mss

Can someone give me the code to achieve the above please?

My Galaxy Note 4 (already updated to latest Android) tends to lose
connectivity to GPS (even though the connection to cellular/mobile
data network seems to be intact) while driving for 3 to 30 secs.

I'm using Waze. The disconnection can happen even on a bright
sunny day (ie don't have to be cloudy/rainy days) or in open
highway (ie not while going through tunnels).

The same SIM card was previously used on my Galaxy Note 2 for
for almost a whole year previously & I never had this issue.

Is this a known issue with Note 4 or the Telco ? Maybe one way I
can test this is to use the Note 4 as a hotspot (tethering) to an
iPhone & test to see if Waze/GPS disconnects intermittently:
map is still there but there's a red alert message that 'connection
to GPS is disconnected' at the top of the screen.

I only noted 2 changes:
1. I switch from Note 2 to Note 4 at around the time I disposed
the old Honda Airwave to Toyota Sienta hybrid: not sure if
there's something in Sienta that interferes
2. Note4 tends to get very heated up while Note2 is not that
hot while Waze is in use: I've since taken out the backcover
of the Note4 (& used scotch tapes to hold the battery & SIM
card in place) when in use so that the heat dissipates

Can I replicate a search using the Google Maps API local search with an iOS MKLocalSearchRequest() ? For example, using the Google API, making a map search using the keyword "hostels" works correctly. In iOS using MKLocalSearchRequest(), using a naturalLanguageQuery, I just get hotels. Is there a way to fix this? Or am i forced to use the Google Maps API within iOS?

I have the following c# code(all variables are doubles)

 if (Latitude == lastLocation.Latitude && Longitude == lastLocation.Longitude)
                    {

Open in new window

This just compares exact numbers, what i need to do is Compare latitude and longitude to see if in 10 meters of previous location
This code runs 100 times a second, so i need it to be super fast too

I'm not sure how to achieve this so would appreciate some code help

Need Free Satellite Photos of New York City

Need Free Satellite Photos of New York City

I found Google Earth displays perfectly the images I need to use. But if I used that image in a presentation, I could be sued by Google.

So, I would never do that, clearly.

Are there other ways to get Satellite Photos of New York City which are public domain? Or that have some easy to accept license such as putting a copyright notice at the bottom?

I heard some French company had some which were free?

Can you please give me any Satellite Photos websites I can check their terms??

Thanks.

I have to process a list of latitude and longitude co-ordinates to see if a device has moved in/out of a geo zone

Previously, the app was single threaded, and we delayed processing this information for a few minutes, then we ordered the list by the dateTime and then checked each item in date order to see if it entered / exited a zone

i.e.

12:00:01 - not in zone
12:00:02 - not in zone
12:00:03 -  in zone
12:00:04 -  in zone
12:00:05 -  in zone
12:00:06 -  in zone
12:00:07 -  in zone
12:00:08 - not in zone
12:00:09 - not in zone

Open in new window

this then saves date to db like

12:00:03 - entered the zone
12:00:08 - exited the zone

Open in new window

We have since made the console app multithreaded and we are now seeing race conditions where the data is processed in the wrong order, and its causing data integrity issues where sometimes exits the zone too early, and then the next record see's its inside the zone, therefore its creating data like this

12:00:06 - entered the zone
12:00:08 - exited the zone

12:00:04 - entered the zone
12:00:09 - exited the zone

Open in new window

the user then thinks the device entered the zone twice, when it was infact just once

Due to the high volume of data we process we need to stick with multithreaded solution
We currently check the next item in the list against the in memory "lastPosition" object

I'm now thinking we need to change the approach where we check 1 record against another, and batch the records to speed up performance …

GPS Software

Hi,

I am running a loan business for cars.

I am looking for a GPS software solution that would allow me to monitor each car. With features that allow me to track the car locations, turn it off, and help me in case to locate the car if the customer does not pay. Could be web base, monthly payments, safe and secure installations of the device in the car and others features.

Please send me your recommendations.

Raster based Monte Carlo

I have a simple equation to calculate the "CL" from the sum of four different grids as:

CL = A + B + C + D

I am attempting to use the mc2d package with R to express uncertainty in the CL results based on uncertainties in each of the input grids.

The uncertainty in each input grid is expressed based on uniform distributions with uncertainty ranges of:

+/- 6 for raster A
+/- 10 for raster B
+/- 12 for raster C
+/- 5 for raster D

I would like to run a Monte Carlo simulation whereby the input grids are summed multiple times (e.g. n = 1000) based on values for each grid cell that are randomly selected from within these uncertainty ranges

The code below fails with:

Error in .calcTest(x[1:5], fun, na.rm, forcefun, forceapply) :
cannot use this function

Any suggested edits?

library(raster) 
library(rgdal) 
library(mc2d) #load package

# Input grid files
A <- raster(matrix(c(20, 35, 40, 60), nrow=2))
B <- raster(matrix(c(6, 10, 13, 14), nrow=2))
C <- raster(matrix(c(6, 8, 12, 14), nrow=2))
D <- raster(matrix(c(35, 40, 50, 60), nrow=2))

# combine the RasterLayer objects into a RasterStack 
s <- stack(A, B, C, D)

# Uncertainty distance for each raster used to establish the 
# min/max for the uniform distributions in the function just below
uA <- 6
uB <- 10
uC <- 12
uD <- 5

# Function for generating CL
ndunc(1000)
fun <- function(x) {
  # Convert each raster to mcnode object
  dA <- mcdata(x[1], type="0")
  dB <- mcdata(x[2],
