  • 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.

  • 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. For further details on MapAction, emergency maps or to make a donation please visit - www.mapaction.org, or email - [email protected].

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.
