Re: [udig-users] [udig-devel] BeeGIS - GPS Tool - Lon error

I am not sure where the problem is here; I am not sure how to read NMEA - where in that string is the Northing / Easting data? It sounds like the value coming out is just wrong; rather than a CRS setting. While you could correct for this by messing with the CRS definition by hand in uDig that is not really a good work around.

Do you have a debugger in order to watch the NMEA data being parsed?

Hi,

I've just installed udig 1.1.1 with BeeGIS& Jgrass plugins. On a Windows Tablet PC.

Using the GPS Tool, I was also able to connect successfully with a Bluetooth GPS (L1) .

The problem is that BeeGIS gets the wrong position from GPS (WGS84)!

For example:

Here is the NMEA data received from GPS shown on “GPS Settings”:

$GPGGA,094300.000,4050.282133,N,00828.634375,W,1,8,0.85,211.388,M, 51.205,M,,*4D $GPRMC,094252.000,A,4050.282134,N,00828.634365,W, 0.009,234.14,020709,,,A*4D
This seems to be the right Gps connection port.

And it shows on the GPS View tab:

Northing = 40.83803583333336
Easting = - 7.8105705333333

That has a incorrect Easting!!!

This reflects on everything done with GPS Tool: Center the map, automatic gps points, gps data logging, etc.


To my knowledge, based on the NMEA data values, the WGS 84 position should be:

N = 4050.282133 > N = 40 d 83.80356 s
W = 828.634375 > W =  8 d 47.72396 s

N is correct but W is totally wrong!

I know for sure that my WGS 84 lon position (Easting) is in fact -8.4772

The uDIG project Map is associated with a CRS = WGS 84 (EPSG=4326)
The line layer properties Projection is the same.

I have also tried several other CRS, and know they influence the North / Easting shown values.

Please, anyone can give me a clue about how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance!

Ricardo Pinho
