you are doing a difference between a route and a track. A route is a track + navigation ?
I didn't think about the navigation. (position, poi and route) but I am ok with your proposition. We do not need to reinvent what people as google, yahoo, osm have already done. Using a classic API is good. Maybe we should use azy when we call a webservice (google ...) ? 2011/4/29 sangho park <gouach...@gmail.com> > these days i surveyed some maps solution (google maps, decarta, osm, and so > on). > so i defined some categories. > > - map > - position > - route > - address > - poi > > i tried to mapping this categories to emap_xxx APIs. > the result is: > - emap_source_xxx (osm, module) > - emap_position_xxx (default solution is gpsd) > - emap_route_xxx > - emap_name_xxx (geocode / reverse geocode) > - emap_poi_xxx > - emap_track_xxx (gpx, kml, etc) > - emap_utils_xxx (coordination) > > . source is map source provider. > . position is just current my poistion. > > . the point of route is ... future or past. > IMO route is future. so it can be used by turn-by-trurn navigation to go > somewhere. > and track is just logging of past. i think that gpx is just one of > tracking. > > as basic concept, route information can be acquired by service, not local > data. > we can extend route for shortest path using local backing store, but it's > just option. > yes..yes.. it'll be very good feature that uses local map and route data, > but we should overcome so many license issues. > > so my suggestion about route is : > 1. let's define typical and reasonable api categories > 2. and extend features... > > . name is gecode or reverse geocode. > . track is logging. > . util is coordination and some utilities... > > that's all. indeed all are my private thoughts. > > *watchwolf~ you are founder of elm_map. so i entirely respect your > opinion.* > pls consider my opinion and let's discuss for better map manager. > > Thanks. > Regards. > > > On Fri, Apr 29, 2011 at 9:56 PM, Atton Jonathan > <jonathan.at...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> the discussion was short.
