Hi John,

If you have a Windows tablet you can use QGIS as is. The user interface of 
IntraMaps Roam (http://roam-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/), which is based on 
QGIS, is a bit more mobile friendly... On Android you may want to have a look 
at QField (also based on QGIS, http://www.opengis.ch/android-gis/qfield/)

I once wrote down some experiences which I can send you off list...

Cheers
Stefan

Hi

Can QGIS be used as a replacement for ArcPad on mobile Windows devices, or is 
there a version that can?

Cheers!

Hi, 
There is an android version that is partially working (no python support last 
time I used it). Unless I am mistaken,  I do not think qgis will be 
compatible with Windows tablets or phones as they are not x86 based cpus.  
You could use other free apt to pickup the data an import it to QGIS.

RE: [Qgis-user] Mobile GIS - gvSIG Mini for Android 0.2.0 released

[Miguel Montesinos]

Hi Paolo,

we are using external services. We use open OSM based services for routing 
(YOURS [1] and namefinder [2]). We also have detected that sometimes they are 
not available. YOURS is seldom out of service, but namefinder usually (not 
always) works fine. We depend on those services.

We were thinking about adding another routing service (ORS - OpenRouteService 
[3]), and to have it as a primary service, having YOURS as a backup. It will be 
likely be done in a further version.

If somebody knows any open service more reliable or valuable, please let us 
know, and we will study it to see if it can be included in gvSIG Mini.

Regarding crashes, I cannot say what's happened. We've tested it thoroughly, on 
different devices and different Android versions (1.5, 1.6, 2.0, 2.1). It would 
be useful for us if you could send us a copy of a log file (they're placed in 
gvsiglogs folder at a root level of your SD Card), so that we can look into it 
and fix the problem ASAP, as well as saying us the device model and Android 
version.

Thank you for your feedback.

RE: [Qgis-user] Mobile GIS - gvSIG Mini for Android 0.2.0 released

[Miguel Montesinos]

Hello,

I couldn't send any file with source code because we were moving
repositories and fixing deployment bugs that avoided a right
installation.

We have just released the stable version of gvSIG Mini 0.2.0 for
Android. At [1] you can find the announcement with main and new
features.

At [2] you have the binaries for installation and the access to the
subversion repository.

It's also available at Android Market.

>From now on, apart from looking at the source code, Noli, Philipp, Zora
and others, is anyone interested in working together for having vector
support and so on? I mean to work on a common project, not just
copy&paste source code and work in parallel doing the same.

Any type of feedback will be of high value for us.

Hi Miguel, Noli!

Miguel, thanks for your hint, I just skimmed your class  
diagram, looks

quite promising.
since my stuff is yet experimental, gvSig seems worth a look for
sharing components.

- Do you have a public SVN repo for getting the source?


Yes, but we are working some months on an internal one that we  
intend to
migrate to the public one and keep on working on it as soon as  
the new
version gets released. In the next days we are going to release  
a new
version (0.2). It's in beta phase for some days and with no bugs  
so far,

so
it will be quite soon (probably next week).

We can send you the binaries or the source code of this version  
if you

want
to have a look without waiting for the release.



- Does gvsig support selecting and identifying features and  
querying

data such as attributes, area, ?


Not really, it can now search for Points of Interest (POIs) in  
external
services, and query them afterwards, but it would be a good idea  
to work

together for adding these kind of features.



more questions will follow ;)


They will be wellcome

Miguel Montesinos

Yeah, the source would be great for poking around and find the right  
slots to put my desired features in.
When you eventually will have your svn repo ready we can settle on how  
to collaborate on a common code base


If it is a help for you I can host it on our internal or public  
(depends on your choice) svn for collaboration.


let me know

Hi Miguel, Noli!

Miguel, thanks for your hint, I just skimmed your class diagram,  
looks

quite promising.
since my stuff is yet experimental, gvSig seems worth a look for
sharing components.

- Do you have a public SVN repo for getting the source?


Yes, but we are working some months on an internal one that we  
intend to migrate to the public one and keep on working on it as  
soon as the new version gets released. In the next days we are going  
to release a new version (0.2). It's in beta phase for some days and  
with no bugs so far, so it will be quite soon (probably next week).


We can send you the binaries or the source code of this version if  
you want to have a look without waiting for the release.




- Does gvsig support selecting and identifying features and querying
data such as attributes, area, ?


Not really, it can now search for Points of Interest (POIs) in  
external services, and query them afterwards, but it would be a good  
idea to work together for adding these kind of features.




more questions will follow ;)


They will be wellcome

Miguel Montesinos

We have developed the application Phillip points out. It doen't

to collaborate in order to support the creation of geometries (point,
polyline, polygon) from the GPS (or hand-based), or some other vector

I've recently acquired my third Android phone, and I'm sure that

It will be great to extend the community of users and developers of

Thanks for sharing your project and ideas.

Have you tried this app.

Probably you can borrow some of their codes to incorporate to what  
you

have started. It is GPL project as as well. I think there is no edit
function in the map viewer.

I used Qgis to develop a forest map for my forest enterprise, with

Recently Ive bought my first Android smartphone with GPS integrated
and in consequence there came up the wish to display my forest map

in

GoogleMaps (with the satellite image as background) and the ability

to

mark points or areas by GPS and upload them into the GIS.

So I typed 'gis' and 'map' and similar terms into Android Market
(=AppStore in the Android world) and found nothing useful except

apps

for geocaching, hiking, mountainbiking and the like, but
nothing that would fit my needs.

As a consequence I started experimenting with the Android SDK and
found out that it is not too much work to use the MapView shipping
with the SDK to display stuff on top of the google satellite image.
With the help of JTS (a java library for geo stuff,
http://www.vividsolutions.com/jts/jtshome.htm)
 it was less than 100 lines of code to display polygon layers as
overlay into the MapView. Most of the work was to get initially
familiar with Android SDK and its philosophy, and with its

integration

to eclipse it seems quite handy to me.

The next Problem is how to get my maps from Qgis/Postgis to my

phone,

there I decided for an online solution with MapServer as backend.

QGis

has MapServerExport as plugin, so its no big deal to  export a QGIS
project to MapServer. Then I wrote an xmlrpc server (around 150

lines

of python code including coordinate transformation) which deploys

the

layer features in the WKT format, that I parse on my handheld with

the

help of JTS library and the module mentioned above displays it on my
MapView.

I also wrote some code to capture coordinates (points and areas)

with

GPS and are currently working on uploading them into the GIS server.
My software can even mark remote points using the handheld's camera
and the device's internal compass for the direction. I then just

have

to manually enter the distance read from a laser distance meter and
have my point location.

All that is by far not production ready but serves for me as a proof
of concept that I can display my map online from my server on my
android phone and be able to digitize features with GPS.

If anybody is working on such a beast please let me know if you are
interested in doing some work together

Hi Miguel,

Thank you for informing about the android mapviewer. I hope that in
the near future it would be capable to be mobile gis as Phillip
described - Android Mobile GIS.

Ubuntu tablets are coming as well.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/19/sharps-netwalker-pc-t1-is-the-very-definition-of-an-mid-coming/

I think QGIS can easily run on these devices as well.

But I refer to have an Android Mobile GIS app in android since most of
the these devices has built-in GPS.

How big screen is needed I think is mostly depending on what you are  
going to do and if the computor is the only tool you are carrying or  
it it is desirable to instead always have it in the pocket.


From using Arcpad I think that the functionality of importance is
*  easy map pan and zoom with one hand
*  Digitizing where both stylus and gps can be used. The GPS both  
for tracking and single vertexpoints.
*Support for SpatialLite, shapefiles, wms, wfs, and wfs-t would be  
great.


I think it is important to early get a picture about what  
functionality should be there because every unnecessary  
functionality will be more of irritation, both because the user  
interface will be messed up, and because the system resources will  
go to things you don't want.


Of course some easy customization is great, but to keep it down all  
over I think is prio one.


I really hope for QGIS here. I guess (am I right?) that QGIS gives  
better possibilities to build a real slimmed application than the  
java-alternatives.

Hallo

How about Maemo/Meegoo has anyone tried compiling QGIS on Nokia 900.

One impotant thing to think about when discussing Mobile GIS is whatdisplay 
technique is used on different devices. We have tryied to runArcPad on devices 
with capasitive displayes and that is good forlooking at data, but you can 
never digitize on the screen. Then youwill need a resisitive screen and a 
stylus. I don't know about Androiddevices but many windows devices are now 
using the capasitive techniquebecause it is  smoother when just looking in your 
calender and so on. Ithink tkis makes Nokia 900 with Maemo 5 very interesting 
because it hasa resistive touchscreen among many other features. I think the 
hardwarelso supports multi touch.
I am myself a happy N900 user, but one of the reasons I bought it was to get a 
potent GIS software into it :-)

do and if the computor is the only tool you are carrying or it it is desirable 
to instead always have it in the pocket. 

>From using Arcpad I think that the functionality of importance is
*  easy map pan and zoom with one hand
*  Digitizing where both stylus and gps can be used. The GPS both for tracking 
and single vertexpoints.
*Support for SpatialLite, shapefiles, wms, wfs, and wfs-t would be great.

I think it is important to early get a picture about what functionality should 
be there because every unnecessary functionality will be more of irritation, 
both because the user interface will be messed up, and because the system 
resources will go to things you don't want.

Of course some easy customization is great, but to keep it down all over I 
think is prio one.

I really hope for QGIS here. I guess (am I right?) that QGIS gives better 
possibilities to build a real slimmed application than the java-alternatives.

Meego is another candidate platform for mobile gis.

Asus T91mt and T101mt have resistive touch screens. The mt stands for
multi touch. These two devices will run Meego as well. We have to wait
unitl, end of May to see the real "Meego 1.0" with Maemo 6 i.e.
Marmattan UI framework. Right now, nothing is showing up about UI in
meego dev mailinglist.

In my opinion 3.5 screen of N900 is not probably quite good for gis
editing but will do.

But I really think that qgis should develop a qgis lite version for
the tablets and mobile phones.

One can start building QGIS Lite (Mobile GIS) for Android using:

1. Qt for Android - Android Lighthouse
http://qt.gitorious.org/~taipan/qt/android-lighthouse/trees/android-4.7/demos

2. Android x86 in Asus T91mt and Aus T101mt (Convertable Netbooks)
http://www.android-x86.org/

We don't need to wait for Android tablets to be released.

1+ for me.

I think everybody is interested in mobile GIS client.

Why do you software that you want us to test. I think if you are start
mobile GIS based on qgis code, Meego and Android x86 are the best
platform to implement it.

PhoneGap is also good for cross platform development (iphone, ipad,
android, meego, webos, etc).

Re: [Qgis-user] mobile gis and geotag on pocketpc?

[Fafner]

Thanx all
I installed gvSIG Mobile (the download with PhoneME Virtual Machine
included) and it seem to run OK, found some satellites and could load simple
shape files. JPG, TIFs etc didnt load, looks like one have to export them
from gvSIG desktop to gvSIG Mobile, will try that.

No Perl on the Ipaq (to my knowledge). Will synchronise clocks (lol) and try
to use the gps tracklog for the tagging on the desktop. And then have a go
with Peter Ersts exif data provider. Will be fun.

A common way to approach this is to use a gps along with your camera and
then to link fotos to gps positions based on timestamps when you get
back to your desk. The positions can then be embedded in EXIF tags and
then loaded in QGIS (desktop) using the exif data provider Peter Ersts
has written.

Re: [Qgis-user] mobile gis and geotag on pocketpc?

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi,

Regarding the photo-tagging, there is
http://www.carto.net/projects/photoTools/gpsPhoto/ - based on perl.

I don't know if your IPaq has Perl? It is a command-line application but
easy to use. You'll need a GPX file and synchronized clocks (or you'd need
to know the time-offset). So far I only used it for post-processing.

Yes, there's a gvsig mobile, but it requires Java which your HP might
already have but is otherwise a hassle to get a hold of if your device
didn't come with it.
http://www.gvsig.gva.es/index.php?id=gvsig-mobile&L=2

As for geotag, I've had decent luck writing python applications on that
version of PPC including grabbing NMEA strings from a connected GPS.
Combined with the PIL package for python you should be able to make a
simple geotag app. I don't know of one out of the box. You can get all
my code from
http://www.siafoo.net/library/23
It's sounds like you just need a GPS logger and will tag the photos back
on the desktop. If that's the case there are lots of applications for
that like digikam.
