3. WHAT IS GEOPAPARAZZI?
basically an engineering survey
tool but it can be used also for
emergency management, general
field activities (sport) and tourism
always at hand when needed
can collect georeferenced
pictures, notes and gps logs
easy to use and intuitive
7. THE MIGRATION TO VTM
Since NWW Android had been shut down, we decided by
exclusion that mapsforge was the perfect tool.
After a initial try with the latest mapsforge and a small test
with VTM, we then decided to go with the Vector Tile Map
project.
Why? Because it was extremely smooth and its 3D
appealing… and it has vector tiles.
16. MAP ROTATION
The map view can be rotated, either by the user or
automatically to follow the GPS' heading.
Labels of notes and labels of the mapsforge maps point
information obey to the rotation rules:
19. MAPSFORGE MAPS
To avoid a complete caos due to all these additionally
generated layers, mapsforge maps are merged together and
handled as one single map.
24. IOS SUPPORT
Recently we started working on IOS support for
Geopaparazzi.
During the analysis of the project we noticed a few things:
this was the moment to choose a more professional
name. Geopaparazzi had been criticized a lot over the
years.
the user interface had to be revisited. The feeling was that
the dashboard was useless.
25. THE GENESYS
After long discussions with marketing experts we finally
decided the name for the new application that would attract
any reasonable mapper and surveyor:
Smart Mobile Application for Surveyor’s Happyness
31. WHAT’S GOOD ABOUT IT
IT WORKS ON IPHONE AND IPAD
all most important tools are available from the main
view… the map.
supports online TMS sources, mbtiles, gpx and mapsforge
icons, icons, icons and a beatiful UI
integrated mapsforge maps download
project sharing (important for IOS users)
map rotation/center on gps
notes clustering
40. OTHER NIFTY THINGS
You can download mapsforge (Offline Maps) maps from
within the app. Since mapsforge isn’t performant at low
zoomlevels, at the end of the download an mbtiles cache for
the level 4 to 9 is created. In any case for mapsforge an
mbtiles cache is created during navigation.
