I have tried something which might be helpful when on route.
The idea was to have kind of a map of forum members and dealerships, workshops and so on. My first thought was google maps, but this could only be maintained by those who have a google account. And not everybody wants to log in with his google account at any time.
So I tinkered with googleearth, which is free software and can run on premises without being online and on mobile phones as well. Furthermore, everybody can change the data set which is the basis for this feature, but I'll come back to this below.
To make a long story short: It is easily possible to import data to googleearth and create a layer which can be switched on or off within googleearth - without having to have a Google account. I don't know whether this will change in the future, but this was so since many years and will hopefully stay so for a long time to come.
What did I do?
- I created a small proof of concept example file which contains three data points: 'emax', "Matzker" and "Krah & Enders".
- Each record contains the name, the type and the coordinates of the respective entry.
- This file is easy to maintain as it is a csv-file. It can even be edited as a spreadsheet and then be exported to a csv file.
- The csv file can be imported to googleearth.
- After this, a new layer exists which can be switched on or off.
- The style of the entries is configurable, so I have created such a style which displays a "dealership" entry with an own icon and color, and a "member" entry with an own icon and color as well.
The idea is that everybody can add entries by just entering them into the above linked forms. The updated current master file from the second link above can then (with some delay for the processing) be re-imported into googleearth onto your own system whenever you want.
I would like to call this feature the GRUNT: the Grenadier User Network.
This data set, the GRUNT, should have a worldwide scope and is not limited to a single country. Googleearth is a planet-map, not a district map. ;-)
Avec le téléchargement fourni, tout le monde peut l'essayer et peut (et devrait) faire des suggestions d'amélioration.
Confidentialité : chacun peut décider des données personnelles qu'il ajoute ou non au fichier. Par exemple, j'ai mon propre point de données situé au milieu de mon village, qui n'est PAS mon adresse précise.
Fichiers joints:
Avantages :
- travail distribué
- maintenance facile des données
- les données restent notre propriété (pas de cloud...)
- copies redondantes en raison du concept décentralisé
- facile à étendre (avec des terrains de camping, des points de repère, des points de vue, etc.)
- devrait également fonctionner sur les appareils mobiles (mais n'a pas essayé)
C'est fondamentalement ça.
Voici une capture d'écran de l'affichage résultant pour la première version très basique du fichier GRUNT.
) L'idée serait de pouvoir rencontrer des possesseurs de Grenadier assez proche du domicile
