GLOBAL MAPPER VERSION 10


GlobalMapper that I use today, suddenly announced that version 10 was available and I was asked to update it online. But I defer, because besides being a lot of work, I also want to know "What's New" from the Global Mapper 10.
Global Mapper Software LLC announces the availability of GlobalMapper v10.00 on August 22, 2008. You can download it via the following url http://www.globalmapper.com/global_mapper_setup_v1000.exe. If you have a previous version, you do not need to remove it, just install the version 10, then the previous version will be directly replaced.
Some of the increase and improvement of existing bugs in previous versions have been overcome in this latest release GlobalMapper. Under the following improvements have been made:
Able to perform importing ESRI personal geodatabase (MDB) files.
Able to perform importing and exporting files BigTIFF.
Able to perform selection / changes to the layer when editing existing features and creating a new layer using the Digitizer Tool.
KML / KMZ Super Overlay Support!
Able to perform creating new feature coordinates based on the distance and or COGO values ​​from a starting location using the Digitizer Tool.
Able to rename mutiple attibute on the Saar editing features and also make copying from one attribute to the different attributes.

Crop USING GLOBAL Mapper raster data

tips to clip or crop raster data (image) either using ArcGIS, MapWindow, or ArcView 3.x. This time it wants to show how to crop raster data using Global Mapper. One of the advantages to crop in Global Mapper is the speed of his cropping process than previously mentioned above.
How to perform crop raster data using Global Mapper are able to use the shapefile or other vector data type polygon. The main requirement for the crop in accordance with the user wants or according to the data vector is to select it (selection) first. Raster data will be in accordance with the crop area that is already in the selection. Selection of vector data can be done with the Digitizer Tool or feature Info Tool.

If you crop an area of more than one (as exemplified in this video) or multiple areas, then the selection of vector data using the Digitizer Tool should, because it features Tool Info can only select one area only. Once the selected vector data, process the crop can be done from the menu File -> Export Raster & Elevation Data -> select the type of file format you want. In the wizard that opens a window to move the Export Bounds tab, select the very bottom of the Crop Area To Selected Feature (s). More can be viewed at the following video (full screen view better by clicking the sign to the left writing Screenr)

Clipping rasters ArcMap IN USING A GRAPHIC

Clipping Raster in ArcMap can be done simply by using a graphic without the required layer shapefile. To perform clipping raster in ArcMap using a graphic, create a graphic shape as you see fit, or tailored to the needs of your work. The results will clip the raster can be BMP, GIF, GRID, IMAGINE, JPEG, JPEG 2000, PNG, or TIFF files.

After making a graphic as a clip area by using the tools in ArcMap Drawing toolbar, make sure the graphic is on the conditions selected.
To perform a clip and export raster dataset using the graphic, right-click the raster layer in the table of contents. Select Data> Export Data from the context menu.
In the Export Raster Data dialog box, click the radio button "Selected Graphics (Clipping)". Make sure you make settings that correspond to Spatial Reference Data Frameatau with raster datasets.
Browse the location where the storage of export its raster dataset, an appropriate name, save it as a raster format. If you want the output is empty geodatabase behind the file name extension.
Good luck

MAKE A CROSS SECTION GEOLOGICAL DIARCMAP

Jennifer Carrell from the Illinois State Geological Survey has created a tool to create a geological cross section in ArcMap 9.3. The program is named Create an exacto geologic Cross-Sections Section v. 2.0. You can download a free tool that has been accompanied by a quick start tutorial and sample data files included with MXD (ArcMap Project File) therein.



This tool will automatically draw the appropriate geological cross section is:
surface profile (by using the DEM data),
geological units
well or borehole locations (if any), and
geological materials found on site well.
The advantages of this tool geologic cross section is in addition to the combination of data output polyline and point shapefiles also has a spatial reference, so that every measurement on output is always right.
Geological cross section tool in ArcMap was created using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code which is stored in the ArcMap project file (. MXD) are included. Users simply make the input data as follows:
line cross section,
elevation data in raster format (DEM)
geological data in polygon format
well points and a table of data sub-surface
Users define their own height interval and eksagerasi. This tool will do the conversion feet or meters depending on the unit system used. The latest version of this tool only requires ArcView License, but still require a 3D Analyst extension.

3D MODELLING TUTORIAL MAKING SURFACE UNDERGROUND using ArcGIS

ArcGIS can be used to visualize the form of 3-dimensional (3D) wells drilled, the lower surface of the soil / geological cross-section of a shapefile with well log data, in which there are well locations (wells) in the x and y coordinates as well as geological formations in the value of z.





Link at the end of this post will show you step by step guidance in a 43 page ebook formats, instructions for mapping the 3D surface modeling using the ArcGIS underground geological and well log data. ArcGIS components are required in addition to ArcScene and ArcCatalog ArcMap. Besides the 3D Analyst extension is required, Spatial Analyst and XTools Pro for ArcGIS.

Have some competence or expertise in 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.

GPICSYNC, geotagging FOR FREE SOFTWARE

Geotagging of photos taken from the field survey using GPS track timeline before I ever post using GPS PhotoLink paid software. I then tried some other free software for geotagging, and this time I tried to review the Software GpicSync.



GPicSync stands for G: GPS Pic: Pictures Sync: Synchronization, a geotagging software / free geocode made by francois.schnell. GPicSync is a small and simple application that functions automatically insert location information into photo metadata so that the photo can be displayed in Google Earth, Flickr, etc. using the reference timeline loc.alize.us GPS track.
Here are the features contained in GPicSync:
automatically geocode your photos (in the EXIF ​​header)
use a GPS tracklog in the GPX format or NMEA format (multiple selection possible)
Support elevation data if present in the tracklog
Create a Google Earth KML file to directly visualize the geocoded photos and track in Google Earth
Create a Google Maps file to publish your pictures and track on the web (more)
Automatically associate audio or video files in Google Earth and Google Maps
Create a Google Earth KMZ file (containing your geolocalized pictures and tracklog).
add additional geonames and 'geotagged' metadata (for automatic tagging in Flickr for example) and create an automatic IPTC caption (more)
manually write latitude / longitude in a picture EXIF ​​or a selection of photos
handy tools integrated (Time correction tool, EXIF ​​reader, GPX inspector, rename pictures with date / location,)
supports Jpeg pictures and main RAW files format (more)
software available in Bahasa, French, German, Italian, traditional and simplified Chinese, Catalan, Russian, Spanish, Polish, Portuguese and Koruna (see translations)



GPicSync can be downloaded for free HERE. Tutorial how to use this application can be found on page Getting Started with GPicSync. In case I've ever done, this GPicSync was more accurate than the GPS Photo Link. Only GPS Photo Link is able to produce a shapefile that can directly link with photo and KML in ArcGIS and can link with a photo in Google Earth, while GPicSync only generate KML files only which also has links photo as facilities contained on Panoramio

HOW TO ADD PHOTO COORDINATES in metadata

Trying to Make geotagging photos of surveys I have ever visited how to add coordinates into the photo Such metadata information. You can easily memanfaarkan free Picasa software from Google for the geotagging process. But this time I wanted to show free software from Microsoft That can be used to geotag photos with or without GPS data, namely the Pro Photo Tools v.2.



Microsoft Pro Photo Tools is very easy to use for photo editing, including adding information metada coordinates (latitude / longitude) location information and city / state or commonly Referred to as the process of geotagging. Geo-location information Will be stored in the photo metadata. You can do geotagging photos by drag & drop pictures into a form That is available, then determine the location of the photo by dragging photos into a map of Bing Maps available software. Save the photo, then the coordinate information already contained in the photo metadata.


If you have a GPS track, the following steps to add coordinate information to the photo metadata using Microsoft Pro Photo Tools:
Drag the photo to the viewer Pro Photo Tools.
Call the GPS data from Track Route section, click on the Load from File.
Select all the pictures by pressing Ctrl + A
Click on the button under Track Route Place Images. The entire photo Will be placed on the map Bing Maps.
If the pictures are in accordance with the GPS track, from the menu File -> Save All Images with New Data, then the coordinate information Will be added to the photo metadata. Synchronization Between the GPS track and photos based on the photo capture time and time on the GPS track. For that, before taking a photo, make sure the camera time (hours / minutes / seconds) has the corresponding GPS time (hours / minutes / seconds). If Necessary, the GPS Pls take pictures with the camera to be used as a reference (as shown in image above)

NASA AND TOPOGRAPHY MAP JAPANESE RELEASE Complete



NASA along with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan yesterday released the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) Global Digital Elevation Model (GDEM), a digital topographic map of the new earth that is claimed to be the most complete than ever before. This was conveyed by Woody Turner, ASTER program scientist at NASA Headquarters, Washington.
GDEM is processed using a stereo-correlating 1.3 million scene ASTER optical image archives. Including 83 degrees north latitude and 83 degrees south latitude, which means that nearly 99% of the earth's surface covered by the GDEM with a level of accuracy of 30 meters, beating the SRTM dataset which only cover 80% of the Earth's surface with a level of accuracy of 90 meters.

GOOGLE EARTH ENGINE, TOOL FOR RESEARCHERS AND Scientists

Google released the latest product from Google Labs called Google Earth Engine in conjunction with the International Climate Change Conference in Cancun, Mexico. Google Earth Engine is the latest technology from Google that provides data and satellite imagery that has not been published previously for research purposes.

Forest cover loss in the Congo for the past 10 years
With Google Earth Engine, researchers and scientist can use it for the analysis of monitoring and measuring changes in Earth's environment on a global scale. These data include Landsat satellite imagery last 25 years and MODIS satellite imagery as well. Platform technologies used utilizing the Google Cloud infrastructure. Google provides a free analysis tool for the scientist and developing countries to use it.
Google is releasing Google Earth Engine platform at the International Climate Change Conference to demonstrate that these tools allow scientists to monitor forests from their computer in seconds. Forest picture shown was taken via satellite service owned by the United States and France and then inserted into the data center using cloud computing technology. Pictured above is an example of data "Forest Cover Loss" in the African Congo for 10 years (2000-2010) using Landsat ETM + data.
Over the next two years, Google through filantropinya unit, Google.org will provide 10-hour service to developing countries to be able to access data from Google Earth Engine.

LANDSAT FOR FREE DOWNLOAD



Services Download High Resolution Image from Google Earth that I offer are often inserted by the order to also make downloading Landsat satellite imagery. I always reply to the buyer that I do not cater to download Landsat satellite imagery, because it can do on their own.
Landsat is a satellite image of the longest operating record the earth's surface. First Landsat orbit in 1972, and since it's a reference to obtain Landsat satellite imagery with a resolution of the intermediate level. In tahun1999, Landsat took a big step with the orbit of Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM +).
Landsat satellite imagery can be downloaded for free via his web through the USGS Global Visualization Viewer (GloVis) in the url http://glovis.usgs.gov.

CONVERSION TO WEB MAP GARMIN

GoogleTrail is a free mapping tool for the Garmin GPS that can be used to perform the conversion of web maps like Google Maps, Bing Map, Yahoo Map, Openstreet Map, Map Cloudemate a Garmin Custom Map.

With this GoogleTrail application, users can perform conversions custom web map into garmin folder by performing the selection area using the mouse and zoom in to limit the level of the desired user. The output obtained is the KMZ file that can be used as a background map on the Garmin GPS that has support custom folder.
One interesting option of this application is the ability to do the overlay of multiple web maps. Each web folder in overlaykan can edit its transparency, so that one map with the other does not cover each other, complement each other instead.

Google's Trail is available for download via CodePlex website. This application developers have also added a tutorial in Word format documents on how to create a Custom Garmin Map of Web Map complete with a screenshot of it. It is also available to create a GPX file and how to update altitude data using Google Maps. This free application can only run on Windows operating systems, and can work well in 64-bit Windows 7 systems.

editing polyline with the rules Topology in ArcGIS 10

Mini tutorial ArcGIS 10 on how to perform automatic editing of the overshoot and undershoot polyline in ArcGIS 10 using topology rules (Rule of Topology) was written by Irwan, ST as a guest writer on iniGIS.com. Irwan is ir1gisplan.wordpress.com blog owners who live in Gowa, South Sulawesi, alumni of the University of Hasanuddin, Regional Development Studies Program and the City.

What is overshoot and undershoot?Overshoot and undershoot is one of the problems found by users who are involved in the analysis and route networks that utilize GIS technology. Overshoot and undershoot can result in network analysis does not run normally due to a broken line or cause excessive network analysis tools (network analysis) in ArcGIS considers polyline polyline is not connected with others who are in the vicinity. This resulted in the determination of direction, best route, Closest facility, OD matrix and form the output to a network analyzer (Network Analysis) its accuracy can not be responsible for.Definition of TopologyTopology is a mathematical definition that describes the relationship between objects relative to one object to another. In GIS, topology is defined by the user according to the characteristics of data such as polyline, polygon and point / point. Every rule has the characteristics specified data / rulecertain. Rule or the rule by default has been provided by the GIS software. (Sudomo Ostip, S. Si - PT. Duta Informatics)Topology Rules (Rule of Topology)To produce the correct data in accordance with the concept of GIS, ArcGIS provides the facility to perform checking filtering (query) errors automatically and do the editing (validation) spatial and attribute. Can imagine how long it would take if we make an error checking manually. Editing topology can be conducted simultaneously or one by one according to the type of rule that we apply and appropriate to the type of correction is done. (Sudomo Ostip, S. Si - PT. Duta Informatics)To make corrections to the undershoot and overshoot topology rules that we use is a "must not have dangles"Creating topology and topology rules
To create a topology, data formats that are used but not the data shapefile data in geodatabase format, so you have to process the data conversion to shapefile to the geodatabase format.Here are the steps to create a topology and topology rules in ArcGIS 10. The first step open feature dataset in ArcCatalog then right-click and choose New and select a topology as shown in the image above.
After that will appear like the picture above, click Next and then select the feature class that will be in the correction (in this example its class feature is the way), because the only way we will do so only correction feature class road course that we check.
The next stage is to add rules or additional rules topology, as shown in the image above, click Add Rule select the rule / rules to be used in this tutorial are minutes away "must not have dangle" do not forget to specify its class features (roads).
The result as shown in the image above. You can make a rule or other rules of good topology feature class with the same or a different feature classes. Click next then the result is as shown below.
Editing of data error checking results of topology
Add / append data to the geodatabase feature class and also topologynya it will appear like the picture above, pink is a data error either undershoot or overshot, but we need to know not all of the data error. End of line vertices will also be red because the think is not connected with other lines.
Start editing and switch on the Topology toolbar as shown in the picture above.Topology toolbar as shown in the picture below, click on "Error Inspector" (far right button menu).
In this example the visible appearance of Inspector Error 1516 errors exist, and then click the Search Now button menu then all the data errors will appear as shown below.
Select all all the data errors that appear on the Error Inspector window is. Right-click it will be available several options for editing existing data error is a snap, extend or trim. In this mini tutorial I chose the option Extend to perform editing on existing undershoot.

After determining the choice of editing that will be used, the next is to determine the value of Maximum Distance, a suggestion not to fill the maximum distance that is too big because it can cause lines to be edited to change shape and direction.
Note:Topology can only process Geodatabase format, while the shapefile format is not supported.To rule "must not have dangle" not all point error that appears is but the tip of a vertex or dangle down the road will also be considered errors occurred dangles so not everything should be resolved.Back to cross check to see ternjadinya errors, change the direction of the line, and line shape changes due to topology correction
