1. GPS in WPF Students: Ziv Dayan & Viki Kravchenko Instructor: Viktor Kulikov

2. GPS Global Positioning System At least 24 satellites Other systems: Galileo, GLONASS, Beidou-2

3. Project Overview

4. Uses Sitting in a train, recording the route and saving a marker on each train station. Thus getting a view of the train system in Israel. Recording a walking path in one’s neighborhood, marking all favorite café shops, parks and bus stations.

5. NMEA 0183 The National Marine Electronics Association A combined electrical and data specification for communication between marine electronic devices such as echo sounder, sonars, anemometer (wind speed and direction), autopilot, GPS receivers and many other types of instruments

6. NMEA GGA Message Example $GPGGA,123519,4807.038,N,01131.000,E,1,08,0.9,545.4,M,46.9,M,,*47 Where: GGA Global Positioning System Fix Data 123519 Fix taken at 12:35:19 UTC 4807.038,N Latitude 48 deg 07.038' N 01131.000,E Longitude 11 deg 31.000' E 1 Fix quality: 0 = invalid 1 = GPS fix (SPS) 2 = DGPS fix 3 = PPS fix 4 = Real Time Kinematic 5 = Float RTK 6 = estimated (dead reckoning) (2.3 feature) 7 = Manual input mode 8 = Simulation mode 08 Number of satellites being tracked 0.9 Horizontal dilution of position 545.4,M Altitude, Meters, above mean sea level 46.9,M Height of geoid (mean sea level) above WGS84 ellipsoid (empty field) time in seconds since last DGPS update (empty field) DGPS station ID number *47 the checksum data, always begins with *

7. WPF Windows Presentation Foundation (Avalon) Separation of Appearance and Behavior –Appearance – XAML –Behavior – programming language (C#, Visual Basic, etc.) Highly customizable Resolution independence (logical units)

8. WPF XAML: - Extensible Application Markup Language - Example: This is a button

9. WPF vs. WinForms WPF: - More features and possibilities - Non-standard Applications Windows Forms: - Simpler - Easier to find Experts

10. Expression Blend

11. Databases Paths are saved in binary files (*.pth), such that the path’s name is the file’s name. Markers are saved in a XML document. Café Greg 32.7763 35.0249 cafe Fishbach Computer Farm 32.777 35.0245 computer

12. Handling XML Document

13. Google Static Map API Sending a query with location, map and feature parameters. http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=Brooklyn+Bridge,New+York,NY& zoom=14&size=512x512&maptype=roadmap&markers=color:blue|label:S|40.702147, -74.015794&markers=color:green|label:G|40.711614,- 74.012318&markers=color:red|color:red|label:C|40.718217,-73.998284&sensor=false Receiving a response containing a static picture of the requested map. Limitation of 2048 characters. Use Polylines to overcome this limitation – PolylineCreator Class

14. Polyline Example Original list of points: 37.44601,-122.14934|37.44591,- 122.14945|37.44582,-122.14956|37.44571,- 122.14964|37.44563,-122.14974|37.44555,- 122.14984 After converting to Polyline: qtpcFjhphVRTPTTNNRNR
