Hello folks,
I am going to write a new application and want your opinions as to the best way to approach this.
Its going to be Linux App, probably to run in an Raspberry PI, or small pc.
desired Features:
connection to External GPS for better accurary
display of own coordinates on some kind of offline map or user defined window (using some user defined scale)
display of several points read from a DB that holds:
#name, #type,#lat,#long, #height from ground
the ideia is to display in the pane / map our own position (plane icon) and to show the relative position of the targets with distances to them, according to a scale (that can change at user request).
some kind of ground obstacle warning system for small aircraft.
With the google maps library, is not hard to do this, as we only have to set some markers with the given coordinates. But i don't want to be dependent on internet, either GSM,
4G or whatever.
just the GPS, an internal DB and calculations
I has thinking on using a pane and to create some kind of user scale to match the coordinates of the targets and my own position onto the pane, with their relative distances and offsets.
any ideas ? What would be the best approach ?
Regards,
