Rép. : [mapserver-users] Problem crea ting WMS
Hi bernardo
for your layer, you need a wms_name... to use a getFeatureInfo you
need to add (DUMP TRUE) and (TEMPLATE ../templates/todo.html)... the
html file dont need to exist...! it's a good idea to specify a
TOLERENCE to restrict the search in the map... and use
gml_include_items and ows_exclude_items in metadata.. if you work
with a RDBMS(postgis or Oracle) dont forget to add your primary key
field off your feature class( ... USING UNIQUE ID ... ) in your DATA
tag layer... good luck

Re: [mapserver-users] upload/stream data from GPS unit?
Bill, There are probably many solutions available depending on the various technical components that you might have in the solution. One possible solution might be something along these lines: 1) stream data to some service that you probably have to build 2) have said service load the points into a postgres/postgis database 3) create a mapfile with a LAYER to disply the data from postgis 4) Use a client like OpenLayers to render you map from mapserver 5) add a timer event to refresh your map every X secs -Steve W http://imaptools.com/ Bill Wordsworth wrote: Please let's not hijack my poor thread :)!

Re: Rép. : [mapserver-users] Pr oblem creating WMS
There seems to be lots of confusion around wms_name these days... just
to clarify: when setting up a WMS service, it is the layer's NAME member
that is used as the name in the GetCapabilities output. The wms_name
metadata has no effect on WMS servers, it is a WMS client (i.e.
CONNECTIONTYPE WMS) parameter only.

Re: [mapserver-users] upload/stream data from GPS unit?
Bill, Maybe. It depends what your expectations are with respect to Near-Real-Time. Mapserver can support GDAL/OGR layers if Mapserver is built with GDAL+Expat (not uncommon, but my version isn't built with Expat). I think the layer definition might look something like: LAYER NAME gps TYPE point STATUS DEFAULT CONNECTIONTYPE OGR CONNECTION mygps.gpx CLASS STYLE COLOR 0 0 255 END END END Hopefully (!) there won't be any file access problems if your GPS s/w is creating the gpx file the same time Mapserver/GDAL is trying to read it. We implemented a tracking system a few years ago by writing a program to insert/update positions (received every 30 minutes per gps unit by email) into a PostgreSQL database and have Mapserver read the positions from there. Using a relational database avoids the file locking problem and provided a few other benefits. Another limitation of Mapserver is the fact that is doesn't push any data to the end application (e.g. browser, WMS/WFS client) until it is requested. For example if you show a raster map in a browser and don't refresh it for an hour, your positions as displayed in the browser are an hour old. Of course it is possible to code some html/javascript to request a new map every so often. If your main interest is in how to get the positions from the GPS receivers into a database, as far as I know there are no open standards used directly by the GPS vendors. One open project is http://www.opendmtp.org/. Another effort is the Ham radio APRS (while the radio part is for non-commercial use only, you might be able to use some the ideas in the upper levels of the protocol). In any case, you'll likely need to do some programming/scripting... Brent Fraser GeoAnalytic Inc.

Re: [mapserver-users] upload/stream data from GPS unit?
Bill, Am still not particularly proficient with MapServer to help with the how -- instead, I'm curious about the how near real time. Within 10 seconds or 10 minutes? Also, how much data? if it is just x,y,z info could you have the machine that's reading the GPS append points to a (say) ShapeFile, and send the whole thing? This would work if your ShapeFile held the last couple of hundred points; Then it might be possible to display those points + another layer that would have an accumulation of the points, and a process on the server that would append the newest points to the accumulated file. I'll confess to being more than a little curious about what you are doing...

RE: [mapserver-users] upload/stream data from GPS unit?
My guess is that you will need some sort of device to log the data from the GPS and then transmit it across a wireless network (pager, SMS, cell phone). At your base station, you would have capture the messages, parse them, and then probably stuff the data into a database (PostGIS?). Your MapServer map file could then point to the spatial data layer in PostGIS. Every hit to MapServer would show the latest data.

Many thanks for the response. However, it still did not fix this issue. It just puts the label directly on one of the border lines.

[mapserver-users] Resampling and image quality?
Hi, all. We're seeing some distortion in an image, a loss of viewing quality, and am hoping that y'all can provide some insight into what may be the issue. Here are the URLs: http://dev.geowake.com/chart.test/index.php http://ms2.geowake.com/ Yes, it's Google Maps, but bear with me. :) The dev one is using a PNG sliced for use in Google Maps. The ms2 one is Mapserver WMS, using the same PNG but with a worldfile and without slicing since the idea here is to use WMS and save a lot of work as well as being vendor-neutral. You'll see that the dev one has a much smoother look to it. If you zoom in three notches, you can read the map's title clearly. The Mapserver WMS version, the text is very obviously blocky even if you zoom in 4 notches. As you keep zooming in, the quality difference becomes more obvious as you can read the PNG's smaller text but not the WMS's. So, what to do? I have tried and eliminated several possibilities, and am stumped. - Source image quality; the PNGs on both sides are visually identical in an image viewer. I have tried the source image in TIFF and PNG with various options. - Bad world file; the spatial extent matches that of the other map, and I've checked the math repeatedly and found it A-OK - Image format options; I have tried every image format supported, and the image always comes out looking the same, so it's not interlacing gone wrong, nor lossy JPEG compression, etc. The outputformat block is set to generate PNG-24 RGBA, and I have verified by downloading from the WMS that it is doing so. Possibilities I've not yet exhausted: - Resampling; using PROCESSING RESAMPLE=AVERAGE improved the image quality but only very slightly. - Reprojection; the images are in WGS84 (EPSG 4326) and I know that Google uses their weird Mercator (54004). I added 54004 to our EPSG file, and have tried various approaches such as reprojecting the image to 54004 ahead of time, and using 54004's numbers in a worldfile so there'd be no reprojection at all, but the effect is always the same. Any ideas what's up here? -- Gregor Mosheh / Greg Allensworth, BS, A+ System Administrator HostGIS cartographic development hosting services http://www.HostGIS.com/ Remember that no one cares if you can back up, only if you can restore. - AMANDA ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
[mapserver-users] Label Follows streets alignment issue
Hi Thomas, I have noticed that labels in a google style symbology that follow a straight line segment at approximately 45 degrees upper left to lower right and slightly off being aligned with the street. It is just enough to be annoying once you notice it. Have you noticed this? Can this be fixed? Thanks in advance, -Steve W ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users

I'll be on the plane all day tomorrow, on my way to DC for the PostgreSQL East conference. If I don't reply, it's not personal. :) P Kishor wrote: yikes! The ms2 version is fugly. M hm. This is the first time we've ever compared the PNG with the Mapserver output side by side, especially in a situation where the raster has text in it, so I'm also surprised! This sounds really silly, but have you tried with exactly the same image in both instances? That is, not the sliced version for MapServer, but exactly the same one you have for Google Maps? The one I'm given for use in Mapserver, is the same PNG except left whole and with a world file added. The plain PNG version is sliced for use in a GTileoverlay, but is otherwise the same. Or did I misunderstand the question? -- Gregor Mosheh / Greg Allensworth, BS, A+ System Administrator HostGIS cartographic development hosting services http://www.HostGIS.com/ Remember that no one cares if you can back up, only if you can restore. - AMANDA ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users

Perhaps you need something a little less error prone, like screen snaps that demonstrate what you are talking about!

The Mapserver one, though, is illegible and looks as if it's been downsized or something. -- Gregor Mosheh / Greg Allensworth, BS, A+ System Administrator HostGIS cartographic development hosting services http://www.HostGIS.com/ Remember that no one cares if you can back up, only if you can restore. - AMANDA ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
