Hi all,
I have an existing database with a large number of data points which I
would like to make visible on the globe.
The data points represent locations (building/floor/room) within a building.
These data points are currently stored in a postgresql database. I am
going to add the postgis stuff to this database and use geoserver /
openlayers / google to make it visible.
Now in the beginning the geometry field will be empty for all those data
points...and here comes my question:
What do you think will be a good approach to place these points in their
correct location?
- because I roughly know in which room each data point is, I could
give all the data points in the same room the geometry of the room, but
then I will have a huge overlap of data points and it will be difficult
to untangle them I suspect
- The same idea as above, but maybe use an algorithm to spread the data
points around a center point?
- Would it be possible to use 2 maps? One which nicely represents the
actual position on the globe, and another map which just shows all my
data points and then I can drag/drop between the 2 maps
- Just use a table next to the map which represents all the data
points which do not have a geometry yet, once selected in the table, a
vector will be drawn on the map which you can reposition in its correct
location
- ...
anyone got some experience with this or has some other ideas/suggestions?
Kim
