Dear all,
I'm a new developer of QGIS using C++. I am doing a project which needs dynamically displaying maps/layers(just like GPS,layers automatically refreshing with the changing of object's position).I kown ARCGIS has the technique called dynamic diasplay(or something like that),which supports the capacity to do such things. Is QGIS has this ability? Any advices would be appreciated!

Regards
Bob


Hi Bob,
QGIS can definitely do this already.
I used this feature in November last year - but make sure you use the latest versions of QGIS of all the plugins for field editing because at that stage some of the (digitising, I think) plugins caused serious loops when refreshing the screen or adding a feature, so not great if you are dynamically panning.

I used a Garmin 60CSX, but any gps that can output an NMEA stream should work.
You also need the free versions of Franson GPSGate from http://gpsgate.com/

On a practical note, I found dynamic panning not very useful for my purpose. When we drove passed a POI, we couldn't easily pause the panning in order to drop a points and add the attributes needed. We found the dynamic tracking (digitising) of the incoming GPS track very useful, and we manually panned the display as needed, whilst in motion.

HTH,
Zoltan
