[Gvsig_english] gvSIG Mobile: GPS Alerts when reaching POIs

[Lukas Bischof]

thank you very much, i have managed the problem now with the
GPSRelevantEventsListener, this works fine for me.

Another new thing i have introduced is a new file format, because i
want that also "normal" people who have never heard from layers or WMS
services use this tool.
You can read a documentation about this file format here:
http://www.wordy-rappinghood.net/planalp/gvsig/doc/mgb/mgb_doc.pdf

btw: i think gvSIG Mobile is a very useful and versatile tool. I would
suggest this tool to my professor as a base for some projects next
semester - maybe there will be some useful code you can use in the
future.

With kind regards and thank you very much,

Lukas Bischof

> The class MapControl is now getting the GPS position everytime it changes,

> If you want a class to receive this information too, this class has to

> GPSEvents.
>
>   GPSManager gpsManager = GPSManager.getGPSManager();
>   gpsManager.addGPSRelevantEventsListener(this);
>
> The method gpsNewPosition(double longitude, double latitude) will receive
> the new coordinates everytime position changes.

> You can get the coordinates from the GPS with the
> "es.uv.robotica.gvsig.mobile.gps.GPSManager.java" class.
> You can do a new method into GPSManager named somehow like "getPosition()"
> For instance:
>
>         public double[] getPosition(){
>                 double[] aux = new double[2];
>                 //Store latitude into aux position 0
>                 //and longitude into aux position 1
>                 aux[0]=currPosition.getLatitude();
>                 aux[1]=currPosition.getLongitude();
>                 return aux;
>         }
>
> Then you can get the GPS position into MainWindow as follow:
>
>         ...
>         double[] actualPosition = new double[2];
>         actualPosition = GPSManager.getGPSManager().getPosition();
>         ...
>
> That's it!
> It's only one manner to do that. I hope it works to you.
