MapInfo to Google Earth

MapInfo to Google Earth was much sought after by visitors who 'strayed' into this blog. Most of them by serch engines on posting tutorials direct to MapInfo or to Shapefile to KML. Finally I was trying to find a freeware tool that can convert MapInfo files to Google Earth Files (KML).
These tools MapInfo2Google named by its maker is capable of doing the conversion of one or more

layer objects visible in the windows folder on MapInfo to Google Earth KML file is. This program requires no setup, just download the file and then unzip in any directory. Download link at the bottom of this post. This program is Mapbasic executable (Mapinfo2Google.MBX) that can be executed via the 'Run Mapbasic' command in MapInfo or add the tools menu using the Tools Manager. Google Earth did not have to be installed on computers that use this Mapinfo2Google program.

China ready to launch the space shuttle

Launch of unmanned aircraft are part of China's space ambitions

China says it will launch an unmanned spacecraft on Tuesday (11/01) to be docked into a capsule that has been orbiting the Earth.

The rocket carrying the Shenzhou 8 will be launched Tuesday morning from the Gobi Desert and the capsule sealed with Tiangong 1.

Space capsule was launched late last September and has been in his position.

The launch of this unmanned aircraft in an effort to build a space station in 2020.

Shenzhou 8 will be launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Center in Gansu province at 05:58 local time.

Efforts to unite space capsule will also be carried out next year and one of them manned missions.

The move brings together these capsules occurred about 343 miles above Earth's surface, two days after launch.

The main runway
Astronaut, or taikonot in Chinese, has been trained for this mission, according to a spokesman of China's space program Ping Wu.

China plans to build and launch a space station at the end of this decade and do the mission confront capsule as part of this process.

Space station is one of China's ambitious plans.

"Technology is the bedrock of the capsule dock to the space station and exploration in space," said Zhou Jianping, designer of China's space program, as quoted by Xinhua news agency.

China's first manned space mission launched in 2003 and perform the way first in space three years ago.

"The new knowledge through space research will benefit the whole world," said Zhou.

The foreign observers invited to the launch Shenzou 8.

China led to a number of parties concerned in 2007 when destroying a defunct satellites by firing rockets into the satellite.

MAP OF GAS DISTRIBUTION IN CENTRAL JAVA PLATEAU DIENG

National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) has released a map of the distribution of CO2 gas in the Dieng volcanic complex. Dieng current status was raised to ALERT (Level 3) by the geology from the date of May 29, 2011 at 20:45 pm.


In the distribution maps of CO2 gas in the Dieng volcanic complex, there is an explanation of the Dieng volcanic complex geology, the history of eruptions, including an explanation of the mapping and measurement of gas that have been done in the period 2000 to 2007 in the area surrounding volcanic and non volcanic craters along fracture and fault zones.
BNPB also has released a Disaster Prone Area Map around Crater Weigh. The area is included in the most dangerous areas within a radius of 1 km around the crater.

Dieng Plateau is well known as natural tourism area, the geology is a complex of old volcanic mountain type strato, with solfatara and fumarola field, as well as many craters (cones). The names of the crater are: Weigh, Sikidang, Upas, Sileri, Condrodimuko, Sibanteng and Telogo Continues. In 1979 recorded history, occurred in the crater Sinila eruptions that produce various types of gases, especially CO2. The high accumulation of CO2 when it caused 142 residents of the area around the eruption died a victim of a toxic gas that is invisible and colorless. The only way to avoid the danger of CO2 gas is away from the area suspected to generate the gas to find more fresh air.

DOWNLOAD GOOGLE MAPS MAP OF USING FIREFOX BROWSER

The first post in August 2009, I want to show you how to download maps from Google Maps using the Firefox browser.

The map obtained can be very wide coverage area. The whole map of the city of Bandung on Google Maps can be downloaded with a single process! Step by step I make the download process in a mini-tutorial ebook format with 8-page PDF that you can get for free.
The word "download" is probably not the right word for this process. The word "capture" or record the Firefox browser screen display may be more appropriate, because it did capture the actual process maps from Google Maps. For that title ebooknya Record Map from Google Maps and not Download Maps from Google Maps. Why must use the Firefox browser? Since there's an add on for Firefox that has the ability to record the whole page in the browser screen. With this add on you can record the entire look of your favorite websites from the header to the footer as well. Add on is named Screengrab which can be obtained at this link.

The core of the work process download maps from Google Maps this is the time to customize the size of the map that you want to paste the web page. How, on Google Maps click on sponsored links at the top right map view, then click on "Customize and preview embedded map". In the open window that you can customize the size of the map you want to display, to later retrieve (copy) the script that is at the very bottom of the window. The script is then saved as a html file, that can be opened with the Firefox browser. Then by using the Screengrab, save the map as a PNG or JPG file.

Google Person Finder: Google Search Missing Persons Service

Along with the development of technology, many benefits that we can feel. The technology can be used for various purposes, mainly to help our activities in the midst of busy work and social life of our day-to-day. There are also services that can help us in various ways, for example, is Google's Person Finder to find the person we're looking for.

As we have seen, some time ago there was a massive earthquake that shocked Turkey. Reportedly there are a lot of casualties and wounded, and missing a lot of people who until now still sought. Search is performed either manually or by means of appropriate technology, it's Google's turn to Google's Person Finder service that we can use for free.


Google Person Finder service is a form of caring Google to help us find the person we're looking through the information available. How to use it is to open the Google site in googlepersonfinder.appspot.com Person Finder. because while this is happening earthquake in Turkey, then the option is available only Turkey region.


Then we click on the turkey-2011, the next step will be appear like this:


If we want to find people who we have not discovered, we can click the words "I'm looking for someone" in the green column. Then will appear the next step, namely the search for people by name.

Then we can enter the name of the person being we want to find. For example is "Alex", we type the word "Alex" and then click "Search for this person".



Based on the search for the name "Alex" is available 1 data, that someone named "Alex Lilly (Alexandra)" yag reported missing. Then we can see the full data by logging in and accessing the data, just click its name is.
The result is a specification of a complete data about the person named Alex. It turns out that Alex's full name is Alex Lilly (Alexandra) is a 20-22 year old girl with short hair with a British accent. The girl was reported missing and being sought by a man named Alexander Whitlock who may have relatives or friends with a girl. Hopefully they can find it and we hope the person they were looking for can be met.

That is a free service provided by Google to help us. Thank you Google, hopefully a lot of people who can reunite with their families thanks to this Google Person Finder.

MENYISIPKAN FILE PDF TIFF ATAU YANG LAIN DI ARCGIS 10

One of the new fitu in ArcGIS 10 is the ability to insert files (attachments) into the layer. With attachments, the user can add information pertaining to that layer. Attachments almost similar to hyperlinks, but the user can insert more than one file (various types of file formats) into a geodatabase layer.

Files that are used as inserts (attachments) are stored in the geodatabase, and the file can be displayed in several ways, according to the file format that has been inserted, can also be opened via the web applications, ArcGIS Explorer or ArcReader.
Links between the layers (feature classes) and files that are inserted using a relationship class, so the ability to insert a file or edit it only in ArcEditor or ArcInfo license. While ArcView license can only be used to display the attachments only.
Here is a summary of steps to enable the attachments feature in ArcGIS 10, add / edit the file to be inserted and how to display them.
(There are also mini-tutorial in PDF format full screenshot. Download link available at the end of this post)
Attachments feature is enabled through the Catalog window (ArcCatalog). The trick right click feature class, select Attachments -> Create Attachments. Drag the result into the ArcMap display.
Next right click on the feature class in the TOC, select Edit Features -> Start Editing.
Then by using the arrows on the toolbar Edit Tool, select an individual feature you want to paste the file into it, then right click select Attributes.
Select Open Attachment Manager. In the Attachment Manager window that opens, click Add, browse to the location of the file you want to insert into the layer.

To display the results, simply click on individual and last feature using Identify button. To open the file, double click on the file attachment.

You can also display the results in the form of HTML attachments Pop ups, by first doing a little feature settings in the properties class. The trick, right-click the feature class, select Properties. Layer Properties from the open, move it to the HTML tab Pop-up. Perform the settings and then click Verify. Click Apply then click OK. The result can be viewed using the HTML Popup button as shown in the picture at the top of this post.
Attachments are stored in the geodatabase, geodatabase so you can share to others or made a package using the toolbar folder opened in ArcReader Publisher to automatically file attachments that are already included in it.

MEMBANGUAN geodatabase in ArcGIS 10

Mini tutorial ArcGIS is a continuation of my previous post about the introduction geodatabase. In this post made by Irwan, ST as a guest writer on this iniGIS.com shown how to build a geodatabase in ArcGIS 10.

Here are the stages of building a geodatabase in ArcGIS 10:
Creating a Geodatabase.
Open ArcCatalog and then on the right-click on the folder that we specify and select New-> File Geodatabase or Personal Database.


It will show the New File Geodatabase.

Rename the appropriate geodatabase name you want. In this tutorial I geodatabase named with the name of Ternate, because I will try to create a geodatabase for the island of Ternate.

The next step makes the geodatabase feature datasets that have been made previously (Ternate.gdb) right click -> New -> Feature Dataset. Fill in the name of the feature dataset and specify the coordinate system.


For the Z coordinate system, select None unless you want to create a 3D map with the geodatabase, while the default XY tolerance for it.

After the feature dataset is completed, then began making feature class in the form of point, polyline, and polygon. Right-click on the Feature Dataset -> New -> Feature Class.


Fill in the name and alias and select the type of feature (point, polyline or polygon). If the output maps or data that you want a 3D map and route or you will analyze the use of network analysis, then check the values ​​M and Z values ​​as in the figure indicated by a red box above.

To create a feature class to another, do the stages as shown above. In the same way as digitized on a shapefile. Click Editor -> Start Editing, you can start the digitization as an example the figure below.

Imported into a Geodatabase feature class
In addition to making feature classes You can also import a shapefile feature class either, or other tables into the geodatabase.

I demonstrated making a new geodatabase with the name "Infrastruktur.gdb" and add the data to be imported.
I accidentally create a new geodatabase to show whether the geodatabase feature dataset can have if the data that we manage a little and does not require grouping of population data.

In the geodatabase (infrastruktur.gdb) right click -> Import -> Feature Class Multiple (if the data you want to import more than one).
Click open the data and select the data you want to import into the geodatabase and then click OK and wait for the process is complete.

In addition to Google Earth and Bing Maps now comes Marble

In addition to Google Earth and Bing Maps now comes Marble, a virtual globe application for free as an alternative for users of Linux, Windows and Mac OS. For users of Linux, open source applications are coming along with the KDE desktop, though it can also be run in GNOME.

Marble like Google Earth and Maps Bing, also can display satellite imagery, satellite imagery is available as well as night visual, map of ancient globe in 1689, temperature and precipitation information. Even the available display the Moon, Venus and Mars.

Marble is able to display data from OpenStreetMap and Google Earth KML file open maps and GPS data GPX data file. Marble can also view an image similar to the Panoramio layer in Google Earth, find the coordinates with the different projection systems and available Map Creation Wizard and Folder Sharing and measure the distance between one location to another.
Here's a video that presented the ability of Marble

Simoncelli HELMET USED

"I express my sympathy to the family. We will show us any respect to him (Simoncelli), "said race director Paul Butler. He added will soon be seeking answers to melangkapi report medical team.
Meanwhile, analysts questioned the motorsport just about helmet safety standards that are used Simoncelli. The public is also asked why the class brands AGV helmet worn Italian rider was easily detached.
Motorsport circulating among analysts claim that the hair thick and curly Simoncelli has led to the contour of the inside of the helmet was not optimal. Ergonomic side of a helmet should be maximum if the rider's hair thin.
Another question that also can not be answered AGV is about the extent to which the function applies maximum strap on a helmet Simoncelli. It is very difficult to guess that the straps cut off just like that. Moreover, the material for making rope helmets are generally very strong.
Alleged large hook helmet straps apart due to the hard earned genturan Simoncelli. This resulted in the risk of fatal for 24-year-old penalap. Even so, this revelation has not been proven.
According to reports Macchiagodena, Simoncelli has experienced great trauma in the palm, in the neck, and chest. "He has received a hard blow when the race."
He added that the medical side has to give CPR in the ambulance service to save lives Simoncelli. But after 45 minutes at the medical center, Simoncelli's life ended up going.
AGV Helmets Simoncelli

Simoncelli known to have received sponsorship from manufacturers of brand AGV helmet for MotorGP. Italian manufacturers also provide a special helmet from the base model of the Ti-Tech Evolution.
As widely used MotoGP rider, helmets specially designed for Simoncelli so as to adjust the contour of her head. The entire helmet is worn rider MotorGP, including those used Simoncelli, also approved authority FIM motor racing world.
Indeed, no helmets for motorcycle riders as strong as that worn by MotoGP. Especially for Simoncelli, for example, the AGV has designed with high technology uses a special cell tissue SSL (Super-Super-Light).
Materials are sourced from carbon kevlar construction is lightweight and is known to have high strength. Meanwhile, the inside of the helmet (padding) is also specially formulated with the network fabric cool wax and neckroll. Even the strap hook systems come with special designed XQRS Shield Mechanism (Extra Quick Release System).
To note, a replica AGV GP Tech heln very similar to the proprietary Simoncelli sold quite expensive, which is about USD 6.5 million

GIS LEARNING PROGRAMMING

Have some competence or expertise in programming has become an important requirement for working in the field of geospatial technology. Even specifically some GIS job requires programming expertise as one of the conditions. The majority of the GIS analyst positions require some level of expertise in the development and application programs. So what programming language should you learn to compete within the scope of geospatial technology work?

Python is a popular scripting language among GIS software, especially for those who want to work with ESRI desktop products. Learning Python scripting is a way to understand and create a variety of tools within the ArcGIS framework for ease of analysis.

C # is a programming language suggested a relatively easy and intuitive to learn. Learning. NET will also allow you to be able to make customization in ArcGIS. VBA programming language will no longer support the ArcGIS 10. For it to users who have built custom function using VBA, should plan a strategy to rewrite their applications using supported development languages ​​such as Python, VB.NET, or C # so that they are operational and applications continue to be supported in future releases of ArcGIS.
For web-based application development, learning HTML, javascript, and CSS as the basis. Java, PHP, and ASP.NET is an additional programming language for web development is more advanced.
The question is, should I start? Learning the basic concepts of programming is very important. From there, move to a specific programming language. Here is a guide to finding resources on the internet and books to help you learn programming.

VOYAGER 3D/4D VISUALIZATION SOFTWARE FOR GIS

Ocean Engineering released a demo version of GIS software to perform geospatial data visualization platform 3D/4D data including imagery, terrain, elevation, lidar, and volumetric flow data called Makai Voyager. This software can be run on Windows, Mac OSX, or Linux.


Unlike other GIS software, Voyager was built specifically for geospatial data visualization and analysis of highly complex three-dimensional, but still setting in GIS projections. One of them is the ability to process and visualize LIDAR data that has a number of 3D points to near the billions.

Voyager supports 18 GIS format. Geospatial data that would be visualized in 3D using the Voyager must first convert to the format *. Savoy except GeoTiff and Web Map Service. Users can divide the 3D/4D data visualization in the format *. The Savoy to other users using the free Makai Voyager Viewer.

You can go to the gallery pages are available to see Voyager's ability to process imagery data, GIS data, and volumetric flow data in a platform both in 3D (x, y, z) or 4D (3D, units of time). You can also download the sample scene data to be displayed in Voyager on this page. Here is a video showing Voyager's ability to visualize LIDAR data.

DATA SECURITY FOR VECTORLOCK ArcGIS shapefile

EMAP International and Par Government released VectorLock, security system for the first time, especially geospatial data shapefile. VectorLock is the extension for ArcGIS 9.3 or 10, which allows you or your company to protect and control access to geospatial data from the whole use of data both internally and externally when sharing data.
VectorLock ensure the highest possible level of security. Shapefile data secured and distributed to users through a proprietary encrypted format that looks like a regular shapefile data when added to the ArcGIS. You have the authority to set the time how long the shapefile data can be accessed by clients or partners. If you have set time is exceeded, an automatic data could not be accessed again by clients or partners.

VektorLock available in three versions, Standard (free), Advanced (free) and Admin. Standard version is used to invoke and display VectorLock files, including changing the symbology. Dementara for the Advanced version, in addition to having the capability standard version, this version is available Editor toolbar. For the Admin version, there is full functionality to make VectorLock VectorLock files and unlock files.

CIVIL 3D 2011 TIPS FROM SURFACE TO DATA BASE

operational tips CAD software, but this time I just want to share tips for users of Civil 3D 2012, namely how to create a surface from GIS data. Civil 3D 2012 is the latest release of Autodesk.



AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 allows to directly connect to the storage of GIS data and GIS data import, whether it's contour line (polyline) and a data collection point. How to make the surface of the GIS data, using the Surface menu -> Create Surface from GIS data (see figure above).
The next window will appear wizards to do some settings to get the display surface in Civil 3D 2012.Pengaturan starts from the Object Type Options -> Connect to Data -> Schema and Coordinates -> Geospatial Query -> Data Mapping

WE KNOW THE POSITION OF BOYFRIEND OR NOT cheating

Alleged that the iPhones / iPad has been tracking and recording the location-based data on mobile devices has been denied by Apple. Bitten apple logo company stated that it was just a bug that occurs in the location-based software that has been storing the user's location without ever automatically delete them after so long. So how do you actually know the location of the iPhone?

iPhone and iPad also has embedded technology Assisted-Global Positioning System (A-GPS) which is a refinement of GPS as a positioning satellites in the hemisphere. Advanced Positioning methods contained in A-GPS is a method of determining the most high-accuracy position detection method compared to other positions. so that A-GPS is much more efficient and effective in accessing information from the satellite because it does not need to search the data one by one from the existing 24 satellites, but A-GPS already know the target (satellite) where required or intended. Furthermore, A-GPS is a service that combines GPS systems and services GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications).



Apple and Google also through its Android also uses Wi-Fi positioning technology. This technology is the answer to a better location accuracy in urban and indoor areas, because the tall buildings and the roof of the building to get a transmission blocking GPS satellite, thus reducing the accuracy and speed of determination of the location. As is known, the GPS takes up about 10-15 minutes to get satellite transmission at the first GPS enabled, and even then depending on its location, whether in open areas or not.
Wi-Fi positioning technology will work in a way to login to the points Wi-Fi hotspots and cell phone tower near the gadget itself. For information, cell phone towers and Wi-Fi access point has a geographical location in the device when installed. The page on Wikipedia here may give an idea of ​​how the technology Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi positioning trilateration.
Apple has been using Wi-Fi positioning technology that began to be used in IOS 4 of the companies that already have a database of Wi-Fi access points worldwide, Skyhook [http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/coverage.php].

With one or both of these technologies, the location of iPhone users / iPad quickly and accurately can know its position every time you open the Maps application which is marked with blue circles. When the circle appears large, the actual GPS / A-GPS is working and collecting other sources, either from the mobile phone towers and Wi-Fi hotspots to get the most precise location. When the site is believed by the software as an appropriate location, bright blue color with small size indicates the exact location.

Displays and LIDAR Data Analysis (. LAS) in ArcGIS 10.1

One of the things new in ArcGIS 10.1 is the ability to display, updating and analysis of LIDAR data (light detection and ranging), which has a *. LAS file format. LAS format files with the extension is the interchange format as an alternative to ASCII (*. ASC) file that is currently widely used. About LIDAR can you read through wikipedia.



LAS file format for LIDAR data is said to reduce the file size by 35% to 80% compared to an ASCII file. LAS file this small impact on the speed of your computer to open and process the file. Video below is a presentation of the use of LIDAR data in ArcGIS 10.1 on when ESRI User Conference last month.


via ArcGIS Video
If you are a user of ArcGIS ArcGIS 9.x or 10 who want to display the LIDAR data in LAS format, can use a free utility from GeoCue named LAS Reader for ArcGIS.

Create Polygon Tool in MapXtreme

Polyon tool used to draw the polygons directly on the map. To create this tool, do the same by creating a polyline tool or point tool. What distinguishes the class is used to create the object. If the polyline using the class 'MultiCurve' then the polygon using the class 'MultiPolygon'.

The steps are the same as making polyline, lives changed in part that serves to draw polyline in serializable class, to draw a polygon.

Map Showing Different In One Application MapXtreme

Different maps here means, if we have two or more maps that are not related. For example if the first map appears, then the second map is omitted, or if the maps both show the first map is removed or the first map to use the administrative boundary map are both using the other boundary so that both maps are treated differently. There are at least two ways to make this kind of thing

* Create different MWS file. Each map is made MWS tersediri
* Create a file folder MWS with several aliases.

Here I write about the second way, using a file MWS for some maps.

Preparing File MWS
Note the picture below MWS file. Open the workspace manager, and create a file MWS. By default there is only one folder, "Map1". Add the map layer on Map1. Click the Maps button, and add Map2. In Map2 add other map layers.

Map1

Map 2

There are two folders (mapalias), Map1 and map2. Each folder has a different map layout. We can add another layer in each folder, here I just use a single map layer.

Setting up WebSite Project
Create a new website, use the MapXtreme template. Add the following radio button list on file Mapform.aspx (Default.aspx).
view source
print?

At the MapControl, empty property MapAlias. So the code becomes as follows
view source

Open the codebehind file, add a method for the event radiobuttonlist
view source

1 Protected Sub RadioButtonList1_SelectedIndexChanged (ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
2 Handles RadioButtonList1.SelectedIndexChanged
3 MapControl1.MapAlias ​​= RadioButtonList1.SelectedValue
4 End Sub

And in the Page_Load event, add the following code, to determine which folder alias that will be loaded by mapcontrol first. If not set, usually called the Map1.
view source
print?
1 If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
2 MapControl1.MapAlias ​​= RadioButtonList1.SelectedValue
3 End If

Run the application, the initial display is the map of Java (Map1), all information map1 like coordinate system, the position of center map, zoom range will be stored in the session. When kalimantan selected, the map turned into a central position map kalimantan but still refers to Map1 (Java). Because the information stored in the session information is for map1

When Kalimantan (Map2) is selected, the object map that is stored in the session is still a Java map (Map1), because Map1 and Map2 have the same coordinate system (WGS84) then map2 can be displayed with the map center position in accordance with map1.

This error is caused because the two maps using the same session object. To avoid this error, information of each map is stored in a different session objects. If the application created using state methods manual (StateServer), we need to change the map information storage procedures in the session. Open the file AppStateManager.vb, modifications and RestoreState saveState method, more or less be like this.

Note on the method saveState (), map and information center of each map layer is stored separately. So when RestoreState run no errors occur as described earlier.

In this way, we can display multiple maps with different themes in one application. Of course the setting in appstate will not be as simple as this if we also implemented in each thematic map.

Note:
If the application is built using a method InProc (HttpSessionState) mapalias use of this possibility will not run smoothly. Because the information stored in the session object in the handle automatically, we do not know what information is stored. Thus, in some experiments I did with the method InProc (HttpSessionState) sometimes runs smoothly but sometimes not as expected.

In the Object selection in MapXtreme Specific Radius

In MapXtreme applications we can do a selection of objects within a certain radius from a certain point. Usually this kind of selection is applied to determine the number of competitors, or the number of POI around a central point. For example how many motor dealers who are within 2 km of the motor dealer A.

Here is a sample program selection radius:
view source
print?
01 private void SearchWithinRadius (double x, double y, double rad)
02 {
03 Map map = MapInfo.Engine.Session.Current.MapFactory [MapControl1.MapAlias];
04 MapInfo.Data.SearchInfo's;
05 si = MapInfo.Data.SearchInfoFactory.SearchWithinDistance (new MapInfo.Geometry.DPoint (x, y),
06 MapInfo.Engine.Session.Current.CoordSysFactory.CreateLongLat (DatumID.WGS84),
07 new MapInfo.Geometry.Distance (rad, DistanceUnit.Kilometer), MapInfo.Data.ContainsType.Centroid);
08 si.QueryDefinition.Columns = new string [] {"*"};
09
10 MapInfo.Data.IResultSetFeatureCollection irfc;
11 irfc = MapInfo.Engine.Session.Current.Catalog.Search ("NamaLayer", si);
12 / / zoom the map to the object selected
13 peta.SetView (irfc);
14
15 if (irfc.Count == 0)
16 {
17 / / No object within a radius sought. Do something here
18 return;
19}
20
21 / / if the object is met
22 foreach (f in irfc MapInfo.Data.Feature)
23 {
24 / / Do something with the objects found here.
25}
26
27 MapInfo.Engine.Session.Current.Selections.DefaultSelection.Clear ();
28 MapInfo.Engine.Session.Current.Selections.DefaultSelection.Add (irfc);
29}

To illustrate the circle radius on the map:
view source

01 private void CreateCircle (double x, double y, Single radius)
02 {
03 Map map = GetMapObjek ();
04 / / because the circle will be created in the temporary layer, then if the temp layer already exists,

06 if (peta.Layers ["temp"]! = Null)

Creating a Web GIS with ALOV Map

AlovMap as one of the GIS engine that runs on the web is one option to be a GIS application that runs in a web browser. The question is why should AlovMap? because AlovMap is one belonging to the GIS engine is very easy to implement but very feature rich. Unfortunately (as far as the author) is very rare that try to exploit this engine to develop a web-based GIS applications. So that's why this writing, we will try to create a web-based GIS applications using this engine using HTML Plain.

Weather forecast in Google Earth

Via Google Maps, you can get the most traffic information updates, while in Google Earth, you can have a weather picture of the big cities in Indonesia. Features weather forecasts in Google Earth has been available since version 5.2 (currently version 6). Google Earth uses data from Weather.com for the weather forecast information.


Zoom in or enlarge images approach the city you want, will look look like the picture below, which appear below the cloud image with a magnitude of temperature in the city.


If you click the cloud image, you will obtain the temperature information is displayed in degrees Fahrenheit and degrees Celsius as well as the forecast for today, tomorrow until the day after, whether cloudy, sunny, cloudy or rainy. In fact you can see when the rain falls!

Moving a Layer Based on the Distance and Angle or coordinates in Global Mapper

Often I receive spatial data from clients in the local projection system. While the field data collected with reference utm projection system. To ease the process of spatial data, spatial data from the client must be in slide or be moved to sisem utm projection. Global Mapper provides an easy way to move spatial data (which was added as a layer) based on coordinates or based on distance and angle.


You can remove almost all types of spatial data formats into a new geographic location in Global Mapper, both raster and vector. You can move the satellite imagery, DEM data, shapefile, DWG, DXF, etc. using the same tool, and the process is relatively faster for large files.

Here are the stages to move the layer based on the distance and angle in Global Mapper. Note, you certainly should have a reference distance and angle of displacement or displacement coordinates this purpose.

Add spatial data into Global Mapper as a layer.>
Open the Overlay Control Center from the Tools menu -> Control Center, or press Alt + C.

Select the layer that will be on the move, right click select "Shift Selected Layer (s) a Fixed Distance".

Displacement settings window appears, specify the displacement unit, eg meters. Here you have two options to move spatial data, based on coordinates or based on distance and angle. Displacement determined from the centroid coordinate data to the resultant value or the value of the distance and angle of the destination location.

Click OK to get results. Save the layer transfer results into new files with different names.

Quick Guide How to Use GPS Garmin eTrex Series

I've demonstrated how to create a vector grid in ArcGIS using Hawth's Analysis Tools extension. Unfortunately the extension can not be used in ArcGIS 10. If you are also users of ArcGIS 10, I recommend using an extension of www.ian GeoWizards ET-ko.com to create a vector grid. This extension is also available for ArcGIS version 9.x.

vector grid ArcGIS 10

The following steps to create a vector grid in ArcGIS extension 10 using GeoWizards ET.

1. Download and install GeoWizards ET.

2. Enable extensions ET GeoWizards in ArcMap toolbar.

3. Add Layer Area of Interest (AOI), which would made ​​it a vector grid. Make sure the layers have been added has been in the projection define it, so have the file *. PRJ

4. Run ET GeoWizards. Here is a look GeoWizards ET window, select Basic -> Vector Grid, then click G0

5. Wizards of the first is to determine the source of reference for the outer limit of the grid to be created. You can choose the outer boundary outer boundary layer AOI or ArcMap data view by selecting Current View.

6. Then specify the name of the output vector of the grid, click Next

7. Next determine the input and output coordinate system. If you have been on the AOI layer define the previous projection, then you do not need to change anything here. Unless you want to output it has a coordinate grid system with different inputs, then click the button Select the output coordinate system.

8. Underneath you are required to determine the type of grid, polyline or polygon. Adjust to your needs, click Next.

9. In the past the Wizards, you can change the outer limit of the grid by checking the output and then assign the value XMin Change - ymin (lower left) and XMax - ymax (top right). If you do not want to change, leave without unchecked.

10. Underneath you determine the length and width of the grid as needed. Click Finish.

Creating a Watershed in Global Mapper 12

One new feature in Global Mapper 12 in addition to the feature to download data ASTER GDEM is a Generate Watershed or create a watershed (catchment). This new feature can be found via the menu File -> Generate Watershed.


via dominoc925.blogspot.com
Data needed to make a watershed in Global Mapper 12 is a raster data grid. You can download the SRTM data or GDEM ASTER data directly from Global Mapper 12 is to exercise. Examples of the above picture using LIDAR data.




Here below are the settings Watershed Generation Options window.

If necessary, you can change the value of the X-axis and Y-axis on the resolution settings. The greater the fill value, the smaller the resolution obtained, the consequence is the process generates a faster flow of the river, but the results obtained was not optimal (often the result is not as expected, for example of the visualization of raster data streams are clearly visible, but the flow is not in generate / not created for the flow)

In the process of making watershed in ArcGIS, we know the process of filling sinks, nah Depression Fill Depth is the same as the process of filling the sinks, where the Global Mapper will control how deep of a basin for "patched" before the basin is considered as a part of the watershed. If you do not want this process, fill with value 0, it will speed up data processing.

If you just want to get the flow of the river course, un-check the Create Watershed Areas Showing Drainage to Streams. If you check the option, in addition to the flow of the river, you'll also get a watershed in the form of polygons. Every time I tried to make the river flow following the watershed of his, I always cancel it, because it takes a very long time. I recently tried to stage produce a flow of the river course. The result as shown in the picture at the top. Maybe you want to try it? I recommend using the data with a minimum area, so that the process is faster.

Idiot Guide Learning PostGIS

PostGIS, which currently has a written version 1.5.2, is a spatial database extender for PostgreSQL Database Management System, which is used as a backend spatial database for geographic information systems (GIS), such as ESRI SDE or Oracle's Spatial extension. Unlike the two last-mentioned database servers, PostGIS is an open source GIS software under the GNU General Public License.

If you just want to start studying PostGIS, BostonGIS has made PostGIS and PostgreSQL tutorials on its website. For starters, maybe you could start with the Getting Started With PostGIS: An almost Idiot's Guide.


There is more guidance to learn the PostGIS on the site, please look at his homepage to find other tutorials PostGIS and PostgreSQL.

BostonGIS has also released a book PostGIS in Action in hardcopy and PDF format. I've posted previously about this book in May 2009. Now the book has many revisions, a more complete discussion and thicker, last updated in April 2011. PDF format of the book is actually a lot of "scattered" on the internet for download through file sharing sites

Inserting File (PDF, Doc, JPG) into the Geodatabase at ArcGIS Layer 10

One fitu new in ArcGIS 10 is the ability to insert files (attachments) into the layer. With attachments, the user can add information related to that layer. Attachments almost similar to hyperlinks, but the user can insert more than one file (various types of file formats) into a geodatabase layer.


Files that are used as inserts (attachments) are stored in the geodatabase, and the file can be displayed in several ways, according to the file format that has been inserted, can also be opened via the web applications, ArcGIS Explorer, or ArcReader.



Link between layers (feature classes) and files that are inserted using a relationship class, so the ability to insert files or edit them only in ArcEditor or ArcInfo license. While ArcView license can only be used to display any attachments.

Here is a summary of the steps to activate the attachments feature in ArcGIS 10, add / edit the file to be inserted and how to display it.

(There are also mini-tutorial in PDF format full screenshot. Download link available at the end of this post)

Attachments feature is enabled via the Catalog window (ArcCatalog). The trick right-click the feature class, select Attachments -> Create Attachments. Drag the result into the ArcMap display.
Next right click on feature classes in the TOC, select Edit Features -> Start Editing.
Then by using the arrows on the toolbar Edit Tool, select an individual feature that you want to paste the file into it, then right click select Attributes.
Select Open Attachment Manager. In the Attachment Manager window that opens, click Add, browse to the location of the file you want to insert into the layer.


To display the results, simply click the individual and use features earlier Identify button. To open the file, double click on the attachment.


You can also display the results of these attachments in HTML Pop-up, by first doing a little feature settings in the Properties class. The trick, right-click the feature class, select Properties. Layer Properties from the open, move it to the HTML Pop-up tab. Perform the settings and then click Verify. Click Apply and then click OK. The result can be viewed using the HTML popup button as shown in the picture above this post.
Attachments are stored in the geodatabase, so you can divide the geodatabase to others or made a package using a toolbar folder to be opened in ArcReader Publisher automatically file attachments that are already included in it.

Geological Map of Indonesia

In the last two weeks, on the mailing list RSGISForum many are interested to download the data and the geological faults in Indonesia. The download link is provided by any member of the mailing list lately is no longer available and that have been successfully downloaded before it had a password. Other mailing list members who are still many who are interested in the geological data.


In GIS Blog currently has available a download link Geological Map of Indonesia. But unlike the geological data is on the mailing list RSGISForum, Geological Map of Indonesia is in the form of printed maps scanning of Research and Development Center of Geology and vector data lines with the format dxf (CAD format - interchange files with DWG). The map scale is 1: 5,000,000, with a geographic projection system, the 1996 edition.

New Look at Google and Google Maps

Tuesday, Google's redesign looks. Not just on Google Search, Google Maps also has a fresher appearance. Major theme at this new design is "more focused, elastic, and effortless."

Display Google Maps now has seen many angles, see the print icon, email and a link on the image above contained in the light gray box, which at last look, there are also three icons in addition to writing beside

But apparently, Google is forgetting something, namely the loss of the feature "View in Earth Link", where users can directly download the My Maps KML files with one click. For the moment, Google only provides a small solution for users who want to download the My Maps as a KML file by adding '& output = kml "(without quotation marks) at the end of the URL in the browser address bar and press enter.

You can read more about this new look at blogs google-latlong.blogspot.com. In addition to redesigning the look of its Google also released a new social network named Google + Project, which in large sieve-sieve sebaga pesain Facebook (?). If you look at the demo site Google + Project, you can zoom and pan as easily as on Google Maps, because it is a demo site was created using the Google Maps API.

Creating Your Own Application of GIS with Open Source Program

For specific needs, a user not familiar with GIS and do not want to know how a GIS application can be produced, pragmatically, the user wants to perform on-screen map of the location he wants, can zoom in and zoom out, can display the location information and perform simple query. To meet it, a GIS Programmer's going to make a standalone GIS application tailored to the needs of the user.

I've toyed with the ArcView Avenue Script congenital 3.x to customize the order in accordance with the end user. Later still there is a request to be made a standalone GIS application, where the user does not want to know, how to make and what software is behind the application of GIS later.

If you are still playing with Avenue The script, of course, must play well with the legality of the software. But now there is an open source GIS software, which can be used as tools to customize so as to produce a standalone GIS application, which is free to use, not tied to the legality of a software. Examples are MapWindow GIS Software. Aside from being a desktop GIS like ArcView 3.x, the MapWindow GIS ActiveX Control is also available MapWinGIS. By using this control, you can create your own version of your own GIS applications. Another example is gvSIG.

Blog Desktop GIS Book in one of its news, shows how to create a GIS application that you can make your own by utilizing some of the Open Source GIS software follows:

QGIS 1.0
PyQt4
Qt 4.3 or higher and the development tools (Designer)
Python 2.3 or better
For more details please go to the post: Creating a Standalone GIS Application section first. You still have to wait for posting of the next Desktop GIS Book that will show you how to add some features needed in a simple GIS application.

Google Maps 5.7 for Android Provides Features Download Area Map

Google Maps 5.7 for Android was released yesterday with a new feature "Download Area Map" which serves to download the maps Google Maps to be used offline. This feature can be activated via the Labs page.


Features "Download Map Area" to Obtain a map of Google Maps Will download the area with a radius of 10 miles from the location of the user chose. Users can still download it again the other locations That overlap with the previous map.

The process of downloading the Google Maps map may take Several minutes. Just save the downloaded maps "landmarks" alone, not including satellite images and 3D building.

You can see a demo video "how to download Google Maps data for offline use" on www.AndroidCentral.com:

Download Area Features Map is useful for the traveler Pls They want to visit other areas, but worried about the quality of internet connections in the area. By first downloading the folder to be opened offline, at least That worry can be eliminated. Read also features a "Transit Navigation" on Google Maps 5.7 for Android here.

To you the traveler the WHO does not have a phone or a tablet with the Android operating system, but want to download maps from Google Maps to destinations of your visit,

Creating KML from Shapefile Using 3D SHP2KML Freeware

this post will show you how to create KML files 3-dimensional (3D) data from the shapefile using the freeware SHP2KML to display in Google Earth. Shapefile data I use is the same data to show an example of using fusion to google shapefile conversion tables, population census results of 2010 in Central Jakarta.The end result of the example that I made this as shown in the picture above. Where to look 3D view of data such as population bar graph, with each sub-district boundaries appear below. That looks like a bar graph is a polygon shapefile format from the centroid in each district. The shapefile is in the process of using a freeware 3D KML SHP2KML to be, while the district boundary is a two-dimensional shapes are also created using the same application.

OK, the following steps to create a 3D KML from shapefile data using freeware SHP2KML.

Specify shapefile data input and system coordinates. It is strongly recommended you use the unit shapefile Geographic (Lat / Long). Click Next.
Here you set the display when the mouse will hold to its features, information from attribute columns in which you want to perform, as well as determining the choice of the color feature that will automatically change to follow the movement of the mouse (if it displays the label roll over). For the symbology you can specify unique value based on a specific column (of type string or numeric) or a single symbol or Graduate Value based on a column of type numeric.
Here you set the color of your choice prior symbology. You can adjust the color by clicking the default colors available.
This stage you set what columns you want in the show feature when clicked by the user which will perform a balloon as shown in the picture at the top (data Kecataman Cempaka Putih). You also can set the background color and font color table as you wish.
At this stage you can fill the layer title and description. The most important thing at this stage is that the 3D settings in the Options. Make sure the 3D option in check, then it adalaha Altitude Mode Relative to Ground, and select Field Value in accordance with the data you want visualized as three-dimensional shapes. Finally, set the value on the field Factor. In this example, I am content 0.01 or one hundredth of the value of his data so that the resulting 3-dimensional shape is not too high.
Click Create or Create and Open KML for display in Google Earth directly. The result as shown in the picture above this post.
You can also create sub-district boundary with the polygon into 3D format as shown below. Which is more interesting and informative do you think?

Edit & Convert KML Using GDB to RouteConverter

GDB conversion to KML can be easily done on Google Earth, but I often receive GPS data tracking the results of engineers in the office who need a lot of editing because of several reasons. In Google Earth it is difficult to do the editing track or route. By using the free application without installation called RouteConverter this, the editing process route, track and waypoint becomes easier.RouteConverter is also a cross-platform applications that can do the conversion to various types of file formats. There are about 70 types of file formats supported by Java-based application that can be used on Linux, Windows and Mac this.

You can display the route, track or waypoint using the background maps from Google Maps on this RouteConverter applications. You also can change the display background maps from OpenStreetMap. It is also possible to complete the elevation data on the track, route and waypoint from SRTM data. You need an internet connection to be able to utilize all of these features.

1. Share As new features for ease of sharing spatial data and map-making package (package map).

ESRI has also announced changes in ArcGIS 10.1 naming because the fact is, however ArcGIS is used, basically using the same system.

Showing Results Thumb Picture Geotagging in ArcMap I try to make special tips on how to view picture thumb ArcMap fromthe geotagged photo using free geotagging software GPicSync.About GPicSync I've ever posted here before, namely applicationsthat function automatically inserts location information to the photometadata (geotagging) so the photo can be displayed in Google Earth (KML format) using the reference GPS track timeline.









GPicSync each photo for the geotagging process always generateKML files that can be opened in Google Earth or ArcGIS ExplorerDesktop. In addition, also automatically generate a folder with the name Thumbs containing the photo but with small dimensions(resize the result) that is 160x120 pixels. By utilizing the KML file(usually has a name doc.kml) and the Thumbs folder you cancreate picture thumb in ArcMap using the Add-in toolbox ConvertGPSFile to SHP through sub-tools KML to SHP. About Add-intoolbox Convert GPSFile to SHP I've ever posted here.
