A Year of GeoMusings

Posted on 2007-12-03

It’s been a year since I stood up GeoMusings. This is my second attempt at blogging. My first, ArcDeveloper, fizzled mainly because of a lack of focus on my part. So I started again on 1 December of 2006. I was originally on Blogger but quickly moved to WordPress. Early on, I started playing with…

SQL Server 2008 SharpMap Data Provider Code

Posted on 2007-11-28

As promised, I have uploaded the data provider code I mentioned earlier to the SharpMap site. It’s written in C#. I took the existing Oracle provider, stripped out the Oracle SQL and put in T-SQL. There are a couple of things I’m still trying to chase down but it’s basically done at this point. I…

Spatial References in SQL Server 2008, Part 2

Posted on 2007-11-26

With some guidance from Paul Ramsey, I implemented a check constraint on my sample table to allow only a single SRID in a table. As Paul indicated in his comment on my previous post, PostGIS does this for you. SQL 2008 doesn’t yet but I hope it does. The syntax for my table was: [sourcecode…

Spatial References in SQL Server 2008 November CTP

Posted on 2007-11-26

I’ve been playing with the SQL 2008 November CTP since it was released last week and have been generally impressed but as I have delved into its handling fo spatial references, I have noted some areas of concern. Keeping in mind that it’s a CTP, I’m hoping that some aspects may be addressed before release.

SharpMap and SQL Server 2008 Spatial

Posted on 2007-11-20

I downloaded the November CTP yesterday and couldn’t resist. Today I wrote a SharpMap data provider for it. The black rectangle below represents a sample data set I created. It’s not as pretty as the Mexico data I used with SQLite but it’s beautiful to me. It’s being displayed in the DemoWinForm app that comes…

It’s downloading as I write. Here’s the link. Now the rest of us can try the spatial support! This is something that’s been long overdue from Microsoft. It’s time to lock myself in the basement. 🙂

Navteq MapReporter

Posted on 2007-11-15

I was attending a working group meeting yesterday and learned of Navteq’s MapReporter site. It is a system they have implemented to allow users to report data errors to Navteq. The interface seems very intuitive. It even does a good job of picking locations from partial addresses. The image below shows that map interface: Once…

Monday Frivolity: My Latest Project Plan

I decided to go for the honest approach… Maybe I’ll just use this as a template from now on. 🙂

Whither zigGIS?

Posted on 2007-11-05

Things have been a little quiet (publicly) with zigGIS, owing mainly to outside workload. For those of you who may be wondering, Abe Gillespie, the original author of zigGIS is now more fully engaged on it and making some updates. He should have some announcements in the coming weeks but I just wanted to float…
