this should go faster, I know of cases where serial devices in use result in 
long timeouts. Are there locked serial ports on this system?

This is already taken care of. If gps extension would access the port, the 
applications name would be 'gpstool' instead of 'Unknown Linux Application'. 
Are you sure no other app locking the port?

Hi Edgar,

I've tested gps.ext_0.2rc1.zip under Debian Lenny 32bit, OJ 1.3.1 G-Rays 
WBT 201 over Bluetooth. Nice work and truely usefull for me :-)

- You should check "gps.ext_0.2rc1/lib/ext/rxtx/win32/Verkn?pfung mit 
win32.lnk", because until unzip I get a warning. No problem for me, but 
may be for endusers ;-)

- After starting OJ I get for about 80 seconds the OJ splashscreen 
without any hint what is OJ doing. I know that you scan for devices, but 
this should be done in background.

If I reenable it, GPS tracking runs.

- Adding points from GPS is OK. For the future it would be nice if we 
have a automatic mode for adding point depending on time or distance.

- It is possible, that the connection to the device goes broken until  
OJ runs(Bluetooth problems etc).  The user should see a non technical 
message and not the

for example.

- Under Linux it is a problem if you try to access the serial device 
more than once. So the "Test settings" button in the options should be 
disabled if GPS tracking is running.

- And finaly reprojection coordinates would be nice, but I know

I put that on my todo list, in case there is a second round for extension 
enhancement.

Unfortunately not necessarily where the crosshair is ;) .. that is always in 
the viewports centre (hence only the position if tracking is enabled). This is 
also on the todo list.

Only heard of EZ Buttons until now. Are they a default plugin? The status is 
always on the bottom left corner of the status bar. How else would you like it?

projects are called tasks internally. If you have open two projects you can 
select which one viewport is tracked. Should be translated better, right.

May this should be call append point, as it appends a point to an selected 
existing geometry. This way you can not only capture but "digitize" on the fly. 
(Add Point -> Convert geometry (eg. linestring for a street) -> Append Point)

2010-07-25 Thread Rahkonen Jukka
Hi,

I made a very quick test and here are first results:

- Installation was successful by following the instructions. It means, unzip. 
Easy.
- Virtual serial port must exist before launching OpenJUMP. If OJ is running 
and virtual serial port is created later the plugin will not find it.
- Adding points successful. You can add point to any editable OpenJUMP layer.  
Just select the layer and add a point. Simple.
- EX Buttons is a good pair with GPS plugin because it gives a button and 
shortcut key for adding points. EZ Buttons cannot show the status of GPS 
plugin, though.  Pressing a button does not do anything if GPS tracking in not 
active, naturally.
- I can't guess what "Set task to track" should do. Now I am not sure if it is 
doing anything.
- "Insert point from GPS" is a bit odd tool. User must have a line or polygon 
selected and then the plugin inserts more points somewhere in between the 
geometry. I would have more use for Start digitising a line/polygon tool 
without a need to have something ready on a map.  Now I think I would measure 
an area by adding just points from GPS and digitising a polygon manually with 
snapping on later.

With some delay, I expected to have it done earlier, you might find an updated 
version of the gps extension on sourceforge.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/jump-pilot/files/p_GPS%20Extension/

Features are:
- use of serial gps devices (garmin,nmea,sirf)
- tracking of selected tasks
- creating/adding points from gps coordinate

I'd appreciate anybody testing the extension and coming back with feedback or 
bugs. A known limitation right now is that reprojection of gps coordinates is 
broken (cts extension usage). This means coordinates from gps will for now 
always be in the datum of the gps receiver is configured to output. I am 
working it.

.. kind regards ede
