Mapaction Field Guide to Humanitarian Mapping Field Guide to Humanitarian Mapping Second Edition, 2011 This field guide was produced by MapAction to help humanitarian organisations to make use of mapping methods using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and related technologies. About MapAction MapAction has, since 2003, become the most experienced international NGO in using GIS and related matters in the field in sudden-onset natural disasters as well as complex emergencies. When disaster strikes a region, a MapAction team arrives quickly at the scene and creates a stream of unique maps that depict the situation as the crisis unfolds. Aid agencies rely on these maps to coordinate the relief effort. MapAction regularly gives training and guidance to staff of aid organisations at national, regional and global levels in using geospatial methods. This second edition of the Field Guide expands the content of the highly successful first edition published in 2009.

Field Guide to Humanitarian Mapping MapAction Second Edition, July 2011 Field Guide to Humanitarian Mapping Preface: How to use this field guide There are now many possible ways to create maps for humanitarian work, with an ever-growing range of hardware and software tools available. This can be a problem for humanitarian field workers who want to collect and share mappable data and make simple maps themselves during an emergency. This guide aims to explain a limited range of tried-and-tested methods suitable for humanitarian field work, using free or low cost tools. The main requirements are a PC, an internet connection (to download the software and data you need before you go into the field) and a little time to practice using the various tools. A GPS unit (or maybe a satellite phone with built-in GPS) is a very useful extra item, if you have one or can get access to one. Where to start The guide is written in modular chapters with the aim that you can start in different places depending on your level of prior knowledge. The guide contains tutorials on the use of two alternative mapping toolkits: Google Earth (Chapter 4) and an open source GIS software package called Quantum GIS (Chapter 5). There is also a section on using a GPS to collect data (Chapter 3). If you have time, or if you are completely new to the subject, we recommend that you read Chapter 1 first. It contains an introduction to the whole subject and explains some important terms and concepts. However, don’t be discouraged by these technicalities: it is quite possible to start using the software tools without an in-depth understanding of all the details. Google Earth in particular is very easy to use. If you want to use a GIS software package other than the Quantum GIS suite which is covered here, this guide may still be useful to you because almost all the main concepts are relevant whatever software you intend to use. Finally, if you find difficulty in understanding or using any of the content of the guide, or if you have suggestions to improve it, please email us at [email protected]. We wish you success in your humanitarian work. II www.mapaction.org Acknowledgements Contents This guide has been authored principally by Naomi Morris of MapAction with assistance from the MapAction team. Grateful thanks are due to the Dulverton Trust who provided funding to research and write the guide. For providing technical input and advice thanks are also due to Ramiro Galvez of UNDAC, Bhupinder Tomar of IFRC, Charlie Mason of Save the Children, Joe Kratochvil Mapping of US USAR, the Communications and Information Services Branch OCHA, Humanitarian Matthew Needle and Dr Richard Teeuw of the University of Portsmouth, School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Kester Riley of Riley Trading Limited. The first edition of this field guide was published in Data 2009 and has been used by a broad spectrum of Collection humanitarian and development organisations seeking practical and low cost ways to exploit geospatial methods in their work. In response to demand, MapAction is delighted to issue this second edition. Several chapters are expanded to meet users’ requests GPS for more detail, particularly on where to find map data. Also, the Guide now gives step-by-step guidance on the use of Quantum GIS (QGIS), an open source software toolkit that has gone from strength to strength in its reliability and appropriateness for field use. This guide has been compiled from MapAction’s experience in disaster preparedness and relief operations drawn from many training sessions and disaster emergency missions; however every situation is different. We greatly Google Earth value comments and suggestions, and we will do our best to answer your questions about using GIS and GPS for humanitarian mapping in the field: please email [email protected].

  • Uploading of Points of Interest in GPX Formats 1
    Uploading of Points of Interest in GPX formats 1. GPX GPX or GPS eXchange Format is an XML schema for transferring GPS data between applications and Internet Web services. They can be used to describe Waypoints, tracks, or routes. The main advantages of GPX are the following: . Allows exchange between more programs for Windows, MacOs, Linux, Palm and PocketPc. It can be converted into any format using a Web page or application. It is based on the XML standard, so many programs that are used could normally read GPX files. It allows the development of new features to use data from GPS receivers. There is no specific program for GPX transfer, but there are several programs that can be used: . Garmin BaseCamp (https://www.garmin.com/es-ES/software/basecamp/), . GPS TrackMaker (https://www.gpsu.co.uk/index.html/), . GPSUtility (http://www.gpsu.co.uk/download.html), . GPSBabel (http://www.gpsbabel.org/), . GARtrip (http://www.gartrip.de/), . GPSMapEdit (www.geopainting.com/en/), . EasyGPS (http://www.easygps.com/). In this case, we will describe the steps for transferring GPX files using Garmin BaseCamp and GPS TrackMaker. 2. Garmin BaseCamp Software Garmin BaseCamp is free software that, among other features, allows planning and managing trips, organising user data and transferring information between the user's computer and compatible devices. The devices that are compatible with Garmin BaseCamp are the Garmin devices. However, Garmin BaseCamp is not compatible with the following Garmin devices: eTrex and eTrex H. eTrex Vista, Legend, Venture, Mariner, Summit and Camo. Foretrex 101 and 201. Geko 201 and 301.
