Written by an expert in the development of GPS systems with digital
maps and navigation, Programming GPS and OpenStreetMap Applications
with Java: The RealObject Application Framework provides a concrete
paradigm for object-oriented modeling and programming. It presents
a thorough introduction to the use of available global positioning
data for the development of applications involving digital maps.
The author first describes the different formats of GPS data and
digital maps and shows how to use recorded GPS traces to replay and
display this data on a digital map. Then, he works through in
detail the processing steps of obtaining dedicated data from
OpenStreetMaps and how to extract a network for a simple navigation
application. For each topic covered-GPS data, OpenStreetMaps, and
navigation-Java code is developed that can easily be adapted to the
readers' needs and locality. Finally, all components are put
together in a sample computer-game application modeled on the
well-known board game, Scotland Yard. The computer game is intended
to be a basis from which readers can develop and customize their
own application for their desired geographical area. The developed
application can be "published" on the Internet and made available
for interactive multiplayer competition. This book provides a fun
and interesting way to learn distributed programming with Java and
real-world data. Open-source software is available on a companion
website at www.roaf.de
