Yeah, I’ve got a distance reference that covers the amount of distance covered 
in the time from the last point.  I’m just missing the way to actually do the 
calculation in the program.  I cant see a way to compare a point to the one 
before it.


Thanks!

I can think of a couple of ways you might be able to do this - but considering 
I haven't done something like this before it's a guess. 

You can derive an interval in seconds I believe (referencing 
http://nathanw.net/2012/06/30/better-date-and-time-support-in-qgis-expressions-and-styles/)
 from the point data  - I'm assuming you have date and time (or at least time). 

You could connect the points with a line (that would give you distance). 

I'm thinking this might be better accomplished in a database as opposed to a 
shapefile (assuming shapefile). 

...and I think I've just given you the most abstract assumed non-answer ever. 

Lemme think on this one a bit more. Hopefully someone has a practical answer.

Hi all,




I’m working on some point data that has been collected using a combine in an 
agricultural field.  Trying to figure out a way to compare speed between the 
dropped points?  I’m not sure how to start….can anyone help?




Thanks

Dean
