[Qgis-user] GPS active tracking plugin in qGIS
Dear qGIS users, I am writing from the Grampians National Park in Victoria, Australia and have recently been put on to your site from a Canadian colleague involved in GIS. I am wondering if anyone has developed a plugin to allow for live tracking? - i.e. Have a GPS connected (either via USB or Bluetooth) and let you track whilst having the software open with various layers? This would be very handy for real time positioning of monitoring / research plots and ground truthing survey points whilst out in the field. Advice greatly appreciated on 1. Has it been developed?, 2. Is the plugin available for MacOSx? 3. Where can I download it?

Such a plugin should be easy and quick to write in python, so I would suggest you hiring a qgis dev for that. All the best. pc -- Paolo Cavallini, see: * http://www.faunalia.it/pc * ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

In case you're ready to experiment with code, these resources might be useful: - a simple navigation plugin I started about two years ago in a branch of QGIS. Beware, the API and build system has changed quite a lot from that time so compiling it with recent QGIS sources won't be painless. I've used gpsd daemon for GPS input https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/browser/branches/Lib_Refactoring-branch/src/plugins/navigation - a simple navigation application based on QGIS - Quantum Navigator - but it has only GPS simulator, missing a real GPS input http://www.mapserver.sk/~wonder/qnavigator/ Martin ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
