Live GIS Disc Testing

''This page describes how to test each application installed on the Live GIS Disc. Application test steps describe how an Ubuntu user who is unfamiliar an application can try it out and confirm that everything has been installed correctly within 5 minutes. Test Results document when the application was last verified to be working.''

This page is maintained at: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc_Testing and copied onto each release of the LiveDVD.

 * FIXME
 * These instructions are not tested! Just off the top of my head.


 * open GeoTiff

 * (if needed geotiff and shapefile export could be added to the GRASS testing procedure to make some)


 * open PostGIS data I


 * From the menu: Layer → Add PostGIS Layer ...
 * PostgreSQL Connections: [New]

Name: medford Host: localhost Database: medford Port: 5432 username: user password: user SSL Mode: allow

Test Connect should show success select sample point, line and poly layers view selected data

 * (run the PostGIS test first so that the osm_barcelona DB exists!)


 * From the menu: Layer → Add PostGIS Layer ...
 * PostgreSQL Connections: [New]

Name: ________ "OpenStreetMap Import" Database: ____ "osm_barcelona"


 * Click on [Test Connect], with luck you will get a message that the connection to the database was successful.
 * Click [Ok] to close the New Database window.
 * Click on [Connect] in the top left of the Add PostGIS Table window. You should see a listing of tables come up.
 * Click on all of the table names to highlight them.
 * Click on [Add] at the bottom.
 * After some moments you should see the data displayed in the main map canvas.
 * Zoom, pan, query as you like.

This should at least prove to you that the database is correctly populated and running.


 * open shapefile


 * where on the disc is one?
 * From the menu: Layer → Add Vector Layer ...


 * Do not select New Vector Layer ... (that's for creating new data, not opening existing data)


 * Dataset: [Browse]


 * ? where on disc ?


 * Ctrl-click on each of the *.shp files in that directory, then click [Open] and finally [Ok]
 * After some momements you should see the data displayed in the main map canvas.
 * Because the some of the shapefiles use a different map projection than the PostGIS database, things may not line up exactly. In the Settings → Projection Properties, Coordinate Reference System tab, you can tick the [•] Enable 'on the fly' CRS transformation box to overlay them. Be warned that this is computationally expensive and the layer may need to have its CRS set manually.
 * Zoom, pan, query as you like. Drag layer names up and down in the left-pane list to change their position in the stack.


 * open OSM data


 * need to enable plugin?
 * open /usr/local/share/osm/Barcelona.osm.bz2


 * Test the GRASS plugin


 * (it's installed, right?)
 * Go menu "Plugins, Pluginmanager, activate "GRASS plugin", OK button: a set of new buttons should appear
 * open location/mapset → ~/grassdata/spearfish90/PERMANENT
 * click "Add GRASS raster layer" button, select "elevation" map
 * click "Add GRASS raster layer" button, select "elevation_shade" map

= maptiler =


 * Tests written for
 * maptiler 1.0 all versions


 * Test Description last updated
 * 11.3.2010


 * Steps


 * you need an GeoTIFF or other raster geodata to test the functionality. So download for example this: http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/data/gtiff/utm.tif (when you use Firefox it will automatically save the files into ~/Downloads).
 * start MapTiler: click on "Applications" -&gt; "Graphics" -&gt; "MapTiler"
 * in the MapTiler application select on the first page "Google Maps compatible" tiles and click "Continue"
 * in the second page of wizard add the tiff, it should be ~/Downloads/utm.tif and click "Continue"
 * continue trough all other steps in the wizard (default options are fine) and then start "Render"
 * when the rendering is finished you will see a link to the directory with tiles, click to open it (it opens in Firefox as a directory)
 * open the "googlemaps.html", you should see a black&amp;white overlay displayed on top of Google Maps hybrid layer. You can also open "openlayers.html" to see another presentation of the results.


 * Verify that ...


 * MapTiler application starts without problems when clicked on the icon
 * When you press on "Render" applications starts the processing and does not report any error.

Alternative "real" geodata for testing are for example USGS maps or NOAA RNCs.


 * test results from 11.3.2010
 * Run by: Klokan Petr Pridal
 * System: VMWare Fusion, 512MB RAM in virtual machine, on MacOSX Leopard
 * Version: arramagong livedvd 3.0 rc4
 * Results: Pass

Another way to try it:


 * 1) Start MapTiler by clicking the icon on the Desktop
 * 2) Load in the second step example raster GEODATA (with georerence/srs)
 * 3) Go trough all the steps with 'Next' up to the Render
 * 4) Once the render is finished you can click in the GUI to open a folder with tiles. When you open googlemaps.html or openlayers.html then you see your geodata warped to the overlay of popular interactive web maps as Google Maps.

The map tiles are displayed directly from your disk. To publish the map to Internet just upload the folder with tiles to any webserver or Amazon S3"

 * [Download Map]
 * When download is complete click [ok] then change the preferred scale slider to 1:150,000 and you should see a (rather rural) road map. This will be more interesting in built up areas.

Overlay a GPX track

 * In the ~/.gpsdrive/tracks/ directory you will find australia.gpx which is a track line following the coastline.
 * Options -&gt; Import -&gt; GPX track
 * Hidden folders are hidden in the file picker, but just start typing ~/.gpsdrive and hit enter. You should then see the tracks/ directory and be able to load australia.gpx.
 * A red trace should appear along the coastline.
 * Check that it lines up well with the coast as shown in map tiles of varying scale.

If a GPS is plugged in

 * Make sure gpsd is running by starting "xgps" from the command line.
 * The program will automatically detect gpsd and jump to your current position. This should bring up a continental map as you won't have any map tiles downloaded for your area yet.
 * See the above "Downloading Maps" section to get some local tiles.
 * If you have a local GPX track of some roads try loading that and making sure everything lines up, as detailed in the above "Overlay a GPX track" section.

That's it.
