Hi Ede,
as I just checked that it would be possible to help out with a gps mouse again.
But we need a raw plan in which time frame You will need the gps mouse.
I just now target the week from 12-16.7. Is it possible this soon? Do
you still have my address. I'll send it anyway off-list.
So we need to have a concrete task plan for calculating the time You need to
develope. My suggestion (your screenshot show the most things) is to get a tool
which...
...work with different projections (e.g. WGS84 from GPS with map underlay in
UTM; does have geotools nice libraries or tools for coordinate transformations?)
I'll primarily try to reanimate the gps extension. If the cts extension
is installed and working properly it does what Jukka answered:

For the GPS connector project it might be enough to have a working example
about how to reproject from native GPS output to some other projection
on-the-fly, and instructions about how to add new supported projections.
Screen capture suggests that this is already mostly implemented.
...connecting a gps via serial port (allow different settings for the COM port,
baud rate etc.)(I think bluetooth gps receivers work with virtual serial COM
ports)
...optionally have automated panning by actual gps position
...allow to have any zoom levels
the above should be working already. Also adding points from gps is.
...allow to draw point from the actual GPS position (perhaps with an option to
let the tool claculate an average position from the last XY gps positions)
...allow to draw a border polygon or line from gps positions by running or
driving with the gps receiver
...perhaps for later enhancements: simple navigation to specific coordinates
These are not implemented. I do not intend to do this for now.
Another thing is that I can suggest to pay a part of the needed money if I can
get a official invoice. For me it is easier than make a donation.
What are other interested people in the community think about it. Who is
willing to take another part?
Jukka came forward to pay the amount today. Maybe you (or your
companies) want to share the amount equally? I'd suggest that the first
half should be paid in advance, just to be sure of the commitment. The
second can be paid after it is done. And I repeat. All I am going to do
is to reanimate the gps extension for the current release of openjump. I
am not planning to feature enhance it for now. The features are
- serial gps mouse support (possibly gpsd also), protocols as supported
by gpsylon (nmea,garmin,sirf?)
- track viewport (view menu) with the possibility to switch on/off and
select the task to track, if several are opened
- statusbar output of current coordinate if any
- the point add from gps (edit menu), as far as i remember undoable

You probably need to consult your companies (tax) accountant.
My guess would be, that it is called donation it has to go go to a non
profit organisation (ngo), which I obviously am not ;)
I am happy on writing invoices to several parties, with and without vat,
depending if they are german or not.
If I'd really do it I'd also need a gps mouse again. Arnd could you help
out again then?

Hello,
it sounds great if Ede would make this tool and Stefan and Larry would
help and evaluate.
But I have a question about the good idea financing the work by
donation.
To pay a part of it, it is important to get an official quittance or
invoice as a verication for the financial (tax) adminstration. Is it possible
when doing it via donation or should we find another way?
Kindly regards
Arnd
well.. If I would know about that stuff I would help.. but having Larry
on board is already a good step :)
and then w.r.t. funding i) I would feel bad if Jukka pays that out of
his own pocket, ii) I am not sure, but Sourceforge should have some
donation tools - need to check that.
The things here is that we would start with a complete new page full of
issues... i.e. we probably would need to form a legal entity?

I'm also very interested in Joe's idea, and I might be able to work on
the android wifi/GPS service at some point.

Hi,
If I decide to invest 500 euros on the development work, would
the
core
developers give some help by giving guidelines for Edgar and by
evaluating
the code? As an end result I would like to see an OpenJUMP-GPS
which
is
running well on mini-laptops with Windows so that it could be
used
in a
car. It should be fast and reactive as we are used to with
OpenJUMP, and
it should refresh the screen nicely with both vector layers and
at
least
one raster layer. It is not especially little money for me but I
have been
dreaming about this feature quite a long time. It would be nice
to
have
some funding system so that our users could donate little sums of
money to
be used for some nice developments.
-Jukka-
