Help with plotting NMEA latitude and longitude data on a map

Hello,
I am working on developing a GPS application. I have suceeded in retrieving and interpreting the NMEA data to the required longitude and latitude information.
can anyone tell me how i can show this information on the required map in a windows application ( waypoints/ tracks) what kind of maps would be suitable and how so i interface my NMEA data on the maps.
All information would be duely appreciated no matter how trivial
thanks

Custom Map using latitude and longitude data points

Hi,
I am new to Apex and I want to lost custom data points using latitude and longitude data points. I
have seen posts referring to the chart example (http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=36648:65:2214483882702::NO:::) ; could someone help me with the following:
1) How to add On Demand Application Process to a map page (step 4 in the demo)
2) What is a hidden item and how to add it to a page (step 6)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Lisa

I am trying to do the same thing. I have got the get_data function working to create the desired output. However when I replace the xml <data> block with &P65_DATA, it does not work. If I display P65_DATA on the page, it has correct output. If I cut and paste the output into custom XML, it works fine. Anyone have come across this issue..any ideas how to fix it?

Need a little help with Slimbox (Lightbox clone) and Spry data sets

Hello guys!
First of all let me say that I'm not a programmer in any way,
shape or form, and somehow I managed to build me a dynamic
thumbnail gallery that reads data from an XML file and displays it
on my webpage using a Spry data set and a slider widget (yay!)
This is of course only thanks to the many great examples
provided by the Adobe Spry team, and me being stubborn enough to
keep at it, even though I don't really understand what I'm doing :D
But I got to this point where I have basically everything
working, except that I can't get the Slimbox (Lightbox clone)
script to work with the Spry-generated thumbnail gallery.
From what I could understand from other threads on this
forum, is that I need to add an observer somewhere, only that I'm
not sure where and how (those threads are pretty old and the
examples aren't available anymore).
I'm sure you guys know what I'm talking about, anyway, here's
what I got so far:
http://www.riotdesign.com.ar/misc/gallery/test1.html
I have the thumbnail gallery populated from the external XML
file, a basic page navigation using the Sliding Panels widget, and
the Slimbox script which works only on the static test image.
Okay I guess that's it for now, sorry for the long post and
of course any help with this will be GREATLY appreciated :)
Thanks & bye!

Kev,
Where exactly does the .evalScripts = true; text need to go?
Does it go in the href call?
<a href="ManageNotes.asp" title="Manage Notes" onClick="this.blur();
Modalbox.show(this.href, {title: 'Manage Notes', width: 575}); return false;">View your notes.</a>
Thanks for any assistance.

Help with MIRO Badi's and Translation Date (Exchange Rate Date Reference)

Dear experts
This is a problem I have read a lot about, but none of the answers work properly and I wanted to create a new thread in order to try to compile a final answer for this problem (at least in version 6.0)
As you know Standar SAP uses posting date as translation date in MIRO for foreign currency.
This is not always true (imagine Crude Imports with 3 dates: Invoice date, posting date and Bill of Lading date. The last one happens to be the fiscal date for exchange rate in my county and the other two are also mandatory).
I am proposing thus to use 3 dates: Document date as invoice date; posting date as posting date and Invoice Receipt Date
(REINDAT - RBKP) as Bill of Lading date. I would like to implement this third date as translation date.
Lot of ways to do it, but none works properly as for the end user it is complicated to enter data in a certain way so that BADI's work properly. I have implemented note 574583 and only works with some restrictions.
I have also used some more BADI's like MRM_HEADER_CHECK, FI_TRANS_DATE_DERIVE, INVOICE_UPDATE,... and all of them have some restrictions (depending always in data header taps data introduction or saving the exchange rate properly in MM TABLES but not in FI TABLES).
I would really appreciate if anyone could help with this, ensuring that the Badi get's always the data and makes it work with no screen selection dependance.
Thanks in advance.

Dear All,
I have found the solution with the help of ABAPer. The system has a bug for which SAP has given a Sap Note no 22781.
Actually what happened in the Invoice is, the system by default fetched the exchange rate for the Exchange Rate Type 'M' for the rate last maintained. Since we were using different Exchange rate it did not match. Also we came to know about the difference only because off-late the users had stopped updating Exchange Rate 'M' .
The funny part is in the Invoice if we click on each tab at the header and come back to the first tab where we find the Exchange rate for accounting, the system picks up the actually rate as per the Exchange Rate maintained.
Regards,
Karthik.

Please help with restoring different apps and their data between 2 iPads

I just bought a new iPad Air 2 . I currently have 2 iPads, 1st gen and iPad 2nd, each with its own set of apps and their data. I backed up each older iPad manually as a full backup. I created a separate library for one of them when doing this. Now I want to transfer iPad 1st gen apps and data to iPad 2nd, so I reset iPad 2nd to factory and then restored from the manual back up of the iPad 1st gen and it seems to work fine. Before that I had backed up iPad 2nd's current data. So now I now I want to transfer the iPad 2nd apps and data to the new iPad Air. I selected the backup by the time stamp that I had backed up iPad 2nd. I didn't know how to rename each iPad to something unique. It restored from backup, but it's all the apps and data from my iPad 1st gen backup, not iPad 2nd.
I'm utterly confused. Even when I have the separate iTunes library open it shows all the manual backups I performed, so it's not truly a separate library. Do I need to manually install/remove the various apps on the newer iPad?

If you only have 1 file per quarter, one obvious thing to do would be to edit out the time in between plays, the time-outs, and the like. That is easily done in iMovie.
Having said that, importing (and exporting) in high definition takes time, and your times do not seem unreasonable.

IPhoto '09 - Adding your own latitude and longitude

It appears that iPhoto 09 does not allow you to add your own Geo location (e.g.: latitude and longitude data). Is this correct?
Are we limited to the list Apple provides?

I downloaded a Exif viewer app to double check to, and it was there the 2nd time I exported and ticked locations, and text and keywords.
I also just downloaded Picasa for MAC, and it doesnt support direct looking at Google Earth on the Mac yet, but the L/L is there in the pic data, but the keywords are not shown, in picasa
So is this the only way to get it out then?
can you make a new album with all your pics in, and then export all at once?
Or can I take it that if I pick the picture direct from the iPhoto library in Finder and copy it , it will have the L/L and keyword data in?
cheers

Sharepoint 2013 - How to get Geolocation column's latitude and longitude

Hi,
Can anybody help to get the Geolocation column's latitude and longitude values programitically ?
Regards
Durga

SharePoint 2013 introduces a new field type named Geolocation that enables you to annotate SharePoint lists with location information. For example, you can now make lists "location-aware" and display latitude and longitude coordinates through
Bing Maps. An entry is typically seen as a pushpin on a map view.

Plotting Latitude and Longitude in Screen

Hi ,
Iam trying to implement applet application reads Latitude and Longitude from database and plots in the screen.
For this i converted Latitude and Longitude To Screen X and Y.
Some how when draw its always out of window.
Is there a way by which we can do it only using java.
Please guide
Thanks,
arvin

The objective is i want to plot a route (set of lat lon ) using applet.
Below is the code used for that,
double newLon= (180 + Lon );
double screenX = newLon* (screenHeight / 360);
double newLat= (90 + Lat );
double screenY = newLat* (screenWidth / 180);Lat and Lon in degrees.
Iam i doing correctly?
Please help,It's going to be upside down for a start, since Y position is measured downward from the top of the screen.
It can be complex issue, though, plotting coordinates which refer to positions on a round planet on a flat screen. The transformations are called geographical projections and there about a half dozen kinds in common usage with names like "Transverse Mercator" and "Albers Equal Area". Different projections suit different maps. For example maps of North America typically use Albers Equal Area (because it works best with areas with more East to West than North to South, but maps of Britain, a North to South country, almost always use Transverse Mercator.
However maps of the whole world typically use on of the the Mercator projection, which is essentially plotting latitude and longitude directly (or you can use the sin of the latitude, which gives a slightly more realistic impression of areas). However you would still need to think about the relationship between horizontal and vertical scale, if makes quite a difference to the appearance of the map. The Mercator is mathematically simple, but often very misleading.

Predict Trip time duration from Pick up and Drop off Latitude and Longitude using Azure ML Studio

I'm using Microsoft
Azure Machine Learning Studio to create an experiment for predicting
time duration of a trip by using
a data set containing previous records of the trip time along with latitude and longitude of the pick up and drop off location.
Can anyone help me out with whatregression model (or
R-Script optional) should I use to train my model?

Hi,
Are you training with raw latitude/longitude? If so, you should try clustering the start/end points into groups. An easy way to do this is to take a decimal or two off the values. Otherwise, the algorithm is seeing
many, many, unique pairs which may degrade the model performance.
You will probably also want to use the
Learning with Counts modules to summarize that lat/lon data because even with clustering, the features will still have high dimensionality. Here's some info on learning with counts:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/machinelearning/archive/2015/02/17/big-learning-made-easy-with-counts.aspx
Also, we did some experiments on similar data so if you want to read more about that see:

Latitude and Longitude converting in flash

Hello team,
I have Latitude and Longitude values in radians with me. I
want to map these data to flash coordinate system (in terms of X
and Y). Could anyone help me in converting the angles into flat X
and Y system of flash.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Nilesh Walkoli

Hi Roscoe,
Based on my test, we can use the query below to convert Latitude and Longitude to geographic data type:
SELECT 'POINT(' + CAST([Longitude] AS VARCHAR(10)) + ' ' + CAST([Latitude] AS VARCHAR(10)) + ')' as geography FROM table
Geographic data is used as spatial data in map. Spatial data defines the appearance of the map whereas analytical data provides the values that are associated with the map. The following sources of spatial data are supported:
Map gallery
ESRI shapefiles
SQL Server spatial query
In your scenario, we should select SQL Server spatial query that use a query that returns spatial data from a database to define map areas. For more details, please refer to the following articles:
Tutorial: Map Report (Report Builder)
Creating an SSRS Map report with data pinpoints
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Latitude and longitude co-ordinates not appearing correctly

I am trying to allocate a 'place' to a photograph by inputting the latitude and longitude. The place is 'The Needles" at the extreme western point of the Isle of Wight, the co-ordinates being 50.3973N and 01.3552W. However, when I enter these co-ordinates in the format as indicated in the 'help' section of iphoto (i.e. 50.3973, 01.3552), the place comes up somewhere off the coast of France in the English Channel! Can anyone please advise me if I am not entering the numbers correctly or is there a problem with iphoto?

When I show extended photo info on a photo that is correctly positioned it displays as
GPS Latitude l.llllll˚ N
GPS longitude n.nnnnn˚ W
Have you tried with a space between the digits and the N or W?
Also you might try experimenting with adding a minus sign to one or the other of the fields although that does not sound correct off the top of my head
If you have a photo that is correctly located there you can use HoudahGeo - http://www.houdah.com/houdahGeo/ - to locate the rest of the photos from the correct photo's location - this is a very useful function to take lots of photos with a non GPS camera and take one with your iPhone and use its location for the others

Calculate distance between Latitude and Longitude

Hi All,
I have one Latitude and Longitude points. I need to calculate distance between them.
Right now we are using HAVERSINE formula but the query takes longer time to complete.
Reference: http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html
Please assist on this.
Thanks in advance.

Check this link...
http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/202255-calculating-distance-between-two-latitude-longitude-points.html
I never did this before, but gave it a try using the formula mentioned in that link..
Data:
                   Lat                      Long                               R = 6,371 (Radius of earth (approximated))
Origin:        44.844263(B2)      -92.914803(C2)
Destination: 44.822075(B3)     -92.912498(C3)
Formula used:
A: =SIN(ABS(B3-B2)*PI()/180/2)^2+COS(B2*PI()/180)*COS(B3*PI()/180)*SIN(ABS(C3-C2)*PI()/180/2)^2
B: =2*ATAN2(SQRT(1-A),SQRT(A))
C: =R*B                  ---> DISTANCE!!!!
WITH t AS
        (SELECT POWER (
                   SIN (ABS (44.822075 - 44.844263) * ( (22 / 7) / 180 / 2)),
                   2)
                + COS (44.844263 * ( (22 / 7) / 180))
                  * COS (44.822075 * ( (22 / 7) / 180))
                  * POWER (
                       SIN (
                          ABS (-92.912498 - (-92.914803))
                          * ( (22 / 7) / 180 / 2)),
                       2)
                   E2
           FROM DUAL)
SELECT (2 * ATAN2 (SQRT ( (1 - E2)), SQRT (E2))) * 6371
FROM t;
Check if this gives correct values... (I did not verify this properly.. ) And this is faster in my opinion..
Please post your code for better suggestions from volunteers...

Getting Power View on Sharepoint to interpret latitude and longitude correctly

After pulling my hair for a few dozen hours I come here with a simple question.
I have a SQL Server 2012 View - joining 3 different tables, one of which contains latitude and longitude in Decimal(9,6) format.
I have a Tabular model using this view which I push to Analysis services and further on to Sharepoint 2013.
However, when I pull the longitude and latitude columns to the corresponding fields in Power View, the data is just placed standardly in the Artic Sea. Now I have tried changing to and from commas and periods as decimal separator but nothing seems to work.
I can get it to work using Power Map and Power View for Excel 2013 but not on Sharepoint.
I have spent a great deal of time on Google searching for answers but nothing seems to adress this issue, despite it being asked before

I too have been frustrated by this behavior. I also have issues with locations in Puerto Rico showing up in Europe using the zip code and/or state. I've found when I use lat/long things look correct which makes resolving this
issue even more pressing for me.
Unfortunately in the SharePoint construct you cannot control how the api interrupts the address like you can in Excel. I think that is why models in excel recognize latitude and longitude without issue but in SharePoint it's a no go. I have
not tried to see if the tabular construct recognizes lat/long.

XMP metadata: latitude and longitude

I have tried to pull in latitude/longitude data on a photo. Most of the XMP fields are not populated. I am wondering if the XML is correct within FCS... It could be my issue though. I used my iPhone to test. iPhoto is able to read the coordinates as well as photoshop. Why can't FCS pull this information in?
This is going to be a very important function for us in the very near future. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So if I'm right, the Latitude and Longitude from the photo you posted maps to location in South Florida.
The XMP EXIF GPS Dynamic metadata values are completely wrong in FCSvr. The timestamp is set to 12/31/69 for some reason, but inspecting the file via the mdls command in the terminal
i.e.
mdls iphonephotogps.jpg
Reveals the following Latitude and Longitude values.
kMDItemLatitude = 28.59650039672852
kMDItemLongitude = -81.36000061035156
If this is correct, then you could write a script that could slurp the Spotlight Metadata from the file and inject it into FCSvr.
I have a script that does something very similar for extracting audio files. I wrote this for a client, so I can't open source it, but if you contact me offline, I may be able to customize it for your needs and point you in the correct direction development wise.
