This wiki describes how to test each application installed in the Live GIS Disc. Each section should contain enough information for an Ubuntu user who is unfamiliar an application to try it out and confirm that everything has been installed correctly.

Testing
If no GPS is plugged in
- Double click on the GpsDrive desktop icon
- You should see a map of downtown Sydney, after about 10 seconds a waypoint marker for the Convention Centre should appear.
- Set the map scale to 1:10,000 either by dragging the slider at the bottom or by using the +,- buttons (not magnifying glass)
- Enter Explore Mode by pressing the "e" key or in the Map Control button.
- Use the arrow keys or left mouse button to move off screen.
- Right click to set destination and leave Explore Mode
Downloading maps
- Change the scale setting to 1:1,000,000 you should see a continental map
- Enter Explore Mode again ("e") and left click on the great barrier reef
- Options -> Map -> Download
- Map source: NASA LANDSAT, Scale: 1:500,000, [Download Map]
- When download is complete click [ok] then change the preferred scale slider to 1:500,000
- This will be of more use in remote areas.
- Explore to the coast, click on an airport, headland, or some other conspicuous feature. You might want to use the magnifying glass buttons to zoom in on it better. Use a right click set the target on some other conspicuous feature nearby then demagnify back out.
- Options -> Map -> Download
- Map source: OpenStreetMap, Scale: 1:150,000, left-click on map to center the green preview over your target and what looks like a populated area.
- [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 -> Import -> 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.
mb-system
- Open a terminal
cd /usr/local/mbsystem/examples/
Demonstrate use of program mbinfo for listing information about the contents of multibeam data files.
cd mbinfo ./mbinfo.cmd cd ..
mapfish
R
ossim
