VisuGps3

Display GPS tracks on top of Google maps.

Powered by:

• Google Maps API v3,
• Google Chart Tools,
• Google Closure Tools,
• Google Earth Plugin,
• Font Awesome.

This is the next version of VisuGps, one of my first web project. It has been rewritten to leverage the latest JS API form Google as the maps API v2 will be deprecated in 2013.

Supported features

• Display a single or multiple tracks on top of a map,
• Display charts for elevation, horizontal & vertical speed,
• The track can be viewed in 3D
  • on platforms where the GE plugin is supported,
  • without any plugin if your browser support WebGL thanks to DoArama - based on Cesium
• Display markers for routes,
• Measure distances with the path plugin,
• Display restricted airspaces,
• Display skyways thanks to Michael von Känel,
• Switch to full screen mode,
• Topographic maps:
  • France IGN,
  • Spain IGN,
  • Switzerland SwissTopo,
  • Europe 4UMaps.

Roadmap

How to install VisuGps3 ?

Hi,
I'm trying to add VisuGps on my website, but I have some problems.
With the vgps3.js file from the repository, the console logs that 'goog is not defined' and 'vgps3 is not defined'. What can I do ?
Can you also say me where the GPS file is it loaded ?

Thanks a lot for your anwser and for this plugin :)

missing dependency : six

While trying to make lint, I get an ImportError: No module named six.

Si I added the missing dependency:

pip install six

It does now go further.

make fails on ubuntu 17.10

I try to install VisuGps3 on my personal server and unfortunately make fails on ubuntu 17.10:

$ make dist/vgps3.js
make: ***  Aucune règle pour fabriquer la cible « build/make.js », nécessaire pour « dist/vgps3.js ». Arrêt.

And I do have plovr-81ed862.jar installed in VisuGps3 directory.

iframe intégration

When VisuGps is integrated in a iframe and not visible on screen, the page is scrolled to make Visugps visible.

It should not happen. This is due to the popup used by the loadmask.

DoArama & Google Earth

As doarama is not supported for IE & google earth only supported on win + macos:

• Remove the GE map type,
• The 3D entry point will be the camera icon,
• 3D backend will be doarama for all browsers excepting IE where GE plugin will be used

Hello,
Visu the URL of your track doesn't work !

In chart, display hours according to browser timezone and daylight saving

It would be nice to display time according to current browser / OS settings so that users - especially those not used with the tool - are not induced in error.
For instance:

• I flew yesterday at the end of the day from 17:54 UTC to 19:27 UTC.
• My computer is in french timezone with daylight saving wich means 17H UTC = 19H french time (as of today july 6th)
• Current chart shows values "18h10, 18h25, 18h41, 18h56, 19h11"
• It would be nice to display : "20h10(utc+2), 20h25(utc+2), 20h41(utc+2), 20h56(utc+2), 21h11(utc+2)"
  [or maybe display (utc+2) only in a chart corner]

---

Another example of software which does date formatting according to browser is Kibana (ElasticSearch viewer). See dateFormat:tz setting described at https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/5.4/advanced-options.html :

The timezone that Kibana uses. The default value of Browser uses the timezone detected by the browser.

---

I suppose its do-able by using something like that:
-(new Date()).getTimezoneOffset()/60
around https://github.com/vicb/VisuGps3/blob/master/src/vgps3/plugins/chart/chart.js#L411

[Also need to update info panel with "[Th]" label]

I suppose we should be careful not to surprise users with such change, either by :

• making it clear date is in UTC+/-x
• ability to choose "use browser timezone" or use the term "UTC" somewhere

What do you think? Has it already been discussed?

DoArama not supported on IE11

Add an option for displaying the track enveloppe

For track shapes that are very different from a triangle, I'd like to know what's the geometric enveloppe of my track. (The enveloppe is like a giant rubber band wrapped around the track.)
Would it be possible to add an option for displaying the enveloppe and its length?
For example, a small button with a lasso in it, below the other green buttons in the top-right corner of the map, would show/hide the enveloppe on the map, and a message box somewhere with the enveloppe length and its opening lengths. (The opening length is the distance between the start and end waypoints.)
