Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] GPS with gvSIS and BeeGIS
Hi Ravi, Pl suggest GPS that can work for on-line mapping with gvSIS and BeeGIS Alternately, those that are not tested as yet may be given. with online mapping you mean digital field mapping with realtime gps data? If yes, BeeGIS works like that. At this year's Foss4G we had a poster session about the new developments that are currently funded by a local government agency. The poster can be downloaded here: http://tinyurl.com/34bavrb There are quite some new features and we are in progress to release the first test versions of the new features in the next two weeks. BeeGIS will be aligned with the latest 1.2 uDig version.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] GPS with gvSIS and BeeGIS
Andrea, BeeGIS sure is doing great things. The poster is nice. Motorola Backflip (TM) - Silver This is, a mobile phone using android, will this do or do you have any suggestions. Will be going back home (India) for conducting a Open GIS course, and would like to buy while in the USA a 4G cell phone that can work with BeeGIS.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] GPS with gvSIS and BeeGIS
Hi Ravi, I guess there was a missunderstanding here. BeeGIS is a full gis for digital field mapping and works on a tablet. I will not work on a minor power hardware. Perhaps you want to use geopaparazzi, which was written for Android and integrates with BeeGIS for processing the data? Have a quick look at this: http://code.google.com/p/geopaparazzi/wiki/GeopaparazziAndBeegis Motorola Backflip (TM) - Silver is on Android 1.5, which is supported. Another option is gvSig mini, which has a different target user and might be of your interest. I have not enough knowledge to describe it really well, so it is better if someone of that team jumps in. Best regards, Andrea BeeGIS sure is doing great things. The poster is nice.

It looks like you are using the OSGeo logo as the compass in your app. While the nod towards OSGeo is appreciated I think it's an inappropriate use of the logo (Copyright and possibly trademark infringement).

Trademarks are things that identify an entity in this case the Name or Logo of OSGeo.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Geopaparazzi released
Hi Alex, all, I changed the compass image as requested and replaced also the docs screenshots (oh, good old gimp, I love you). http://code.google.com/p/geopaparazzi/wiki/MainView The Openclipart library is a good source for such things and I found a great one there I think. Just to make things clear a last time, I thought it would be positive (for Osgeo) to make the logo and reference appear as much as possible in applications and websites. Didn't think on trademark issues though. Well anyways, everything is fine now, Ciao Andrea On Sun, Sep 26, 2010 at 11:02 PM, Alex Mandel tech_...@wildintellect.com wrote: On 09/26/2010 01:25 PM, andrea antonello wrote: Hi Alex, One minor comment looking at the screenshots of the app on your website.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Geopaparazzi released
After having hit the send button, I decided to make sure whether or not I was missing something, and ran into the screen shots of the former geopaparazzi compass screen (complete with the OSGEO compass), my apologies to Alex. Dan On 09/26/2010 08:59 PM, Dan Putler wrote: I'm more than a bit unclear as to what Alex is alluding to. Is it the logo for the project, which seems to be a hybrid between a compass rose and a transmitting tower (a natural combination given the project), or is it the compass rose within a circle shown in this image of the OSM menu: http://wiki.geopaparazzi.googlecode.com/hg/images/osm_menu1.png If it is the project logo that is the concern, I'm really perplexed. The compass roses shown in the image of the OSM menu screen are closer (but not very close). Yes they are compass roses in a circle, but it is not the same compass rose in a circle as the OSGeo logo (for a starter, it is an eight point, not a four point compass rose). Moreover, graphics of a compass rose within in circle (many used in company logos) are _very_ common (a Google image search on compass rose will reveal this). Moreover, the two most natural logo elements for a geospatial project are the earth and a compass rose. Given that the ESRI logo involves an image of the earth, does this mean that PostGIS needs to remove the earth part of the earth balanced at the end of the elephants trunk (to say nothing of the GDAL/OGR logo)? Moreover, isn't the elephant the logo of the PostgreSQL project and the symbol of the US Republican Party, so shouldn't the PostGIS project's logo also shed the elephant as well? Somehow, I just don't think so. Yes logos and other visual identity media need to be protected, however, the graphics used by the geopaparazzi project just don't fall into that category in my opinion.
