Testing

If no GPS is plugged in

Double click on the GpsDrive desktop icon
You should see a map of downtown Barcelona, after about 10 seconds a waypoint marker for the Convention Centre should appear.
Set the map scale to 1:150,000 either by dragging the slider at the bottom or by using the +,- buttons (not magnifying glass). After a moment you should see all 3 FOSS4G 2010 venues.
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.
Try clicking on the Workshop venue and mouse-wheel to zoom in on it
Right click to set destination and leave Explore Mode

Set "maximum distance" to 1.0 km
Click the POI-Types drop down menu and select Food → Restaurant → Restaurant
Click the Find button in the top right
Click on the nearest restaurant, and "Select Target" in the bottom right
Make your way there and enjoy a nice meal

Downloading maps

Change the scale setting to 1:1,000,000 you should see the limits of the PostGIS/Mapnik/OpenStreetMaps road database for the conference area.
Click the "Map Control" button on the left hand side, and turn off Mapnik Mode.

You should now see a continental image

Enter Explore Mode again ("e") and left click on an island in the Med
In the top-left menu, pick 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: 1:40,000, 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 1:40,000 and you should see a road map. This will be more interesting in built up areas.

Overlay a GPX track

If you have a GPX track file lying around ...
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
A red trace should appear

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. (you may want to switch out of Mapnik Mode in the Map Control window)
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.

maptiler

Tests written for: .package. [version], osgeo-live [version]
Test Description last updated: .date.

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" -> "Graphics" -> "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&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.

Another way to try it:

Start MapTiler by clicking the icon on the Desktop
Load in the second step example raster GEODATA (with georerence/srs)
Go trough all the steps with 'Next' up to the Render
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"

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

open GeoTiff

where on the disc is one?

(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

open PostGIS 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
click right mouse button in legend on "elevation_shade" map, move transparency to 40%
click "Add GRASS vector layer" button, select "roadsmajor" map, select layer "1-line" (level 1 is the topological level), OK
