Well, first of all, all polling is nonideal. In case of postgis backend, you could use SQL triggers as postgresql supports those. How to bind these to update the canvas in qgis i don't know as i'm still new to it. Anyway, as a thought it's intresting. Considering that you've shared gis enabled database and multiple users modifying it, what happens when some layer changes, does it get updated on every client and how, instantly or when something is queried next time? You would also need some kind of station id too if you happen to have multiple moving objects on same canvas. http://www.kh-gps.de/trackbox.htm http://byonics.com/tinytrak/ and especially the tt smt is intresting: http://www.byonics.com/tinytrak/ttsmt.php You could fit that into radio monophone with GPS. I faintly recall that tinytrack was coding the station id into trasmission, but quick glimpse didn't confirm that. If you know any other such hardware for transmitting mobile location, please post them. br, Tuju -- Varo hattupäisiä autoilijoita. _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
