Hi, I am also interested in Lazarus for GIS and GPS Navigation Software development
I think we have to TMapCanvas component for lazarus to render, trackway, shapefile, raster, etc. Don't use OpenGL, use the proper TMapCanvas component so you can render and overlayed layers - vector and raster. Now we have to find the right TMapCanvas / TMapViever component for Lazarus I have been searching the net. http://www.sourcepole.com/2006/9/1/delphi-kylix-gis-components http://www.ecostats.com/software/shapeviewer/svobjectsdelphi.htm download the component here http://www.ecostats.com/software/shapeviewer/svobjectsthankyou.htm I think we can find the right components for GIS and GPS software development to be ported to lazurus here. http://en.giswiki.net/wiki/Delphi This is good one to be ported to lazarus http://dspatial.sourceforge.net/ I like to see GIS and GPS software development for Meego Tablet (soon to come....;-). Thanks.

It works grait! I want to give thanks to the author of it! It is a spare time work, so don´t expect to see it working soon. Now, I will start the interface and I don´t know what interfase to use... I am between: 1) use a TPaintBox (standard) and paint the map inside 2) use OpenGL... but I never used it and I don´t know if it is available in Windows Mobile (CE 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2) 3) FpGui 4) KolCE 5) Other? -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
