1200x1200 maps of the Melbourne Wireless areas - printable for use at
General Meetings

MOUSE CLICK TO NAVIGATE MAPS WITH MAJOR LAYERS

These maps allow browsing by scrolling, or by clicking anywhere on
the map with the later developed ones. (Not limited to just selecting
where nodes are located) The map will centre where you clicked.

GOOGLE EARTH LINKS

Nodes and links for google earth [12] Will also show the path &
ground clearance with tilt
Links for google earth [13] Just the links.

Dan: Excellent stuff, very easy and intuitive to use. I'd like to
see this added to the dev site under the "maps" heading as "browse
map" - when you click on a node it takes you to that node's locfinder
entry, when you click on a part of a map that's not a node you go back
to the "browse" page.

Click map V2.1 [27] Dan combines Peter's fine work into one map -
Place Names layer added to Click Map V2.0, plus Regional Group

SPECIAL LAYERS

Added place names and boundaries layer to mapfile [36]

LARGE AREA STITCHED TILE CONTOUR MAPS WITH ELEVATIONS

I created these maps , (write my essay [37]) based on Tyson's 350x350
contour map file to make it much easier to work out line of sight [38]
paths over greater areas. Hopefully this will help make the building
of the melbourne wireless mesh a little easier.

fantastic (good work!), doesn't work in Mozilla :-( Looking through
the code at the moment . . . -- gummAY [45] 10/07/04

Hmm , I assume you mean firefox mozilla, yer it seems to be choking
on the preload image i have to initially load the map. I'm thinking of
passing this task over to javascript using an onload event instead. I
noticed that the validator doesn't like this part too but it works
fine in IE. -- Peter NodeGUR [46]

Nope, just plain mozilla. The issue is that the window.event.OffsetX
and Y just don't exist in the Gecko DOM thing's javascript
inplementation. I had it almost working before going out last night,
then came home to a blank screen -- Always save your work kiddies!
From what I can recall, they key lies with Layerx and Layery. Mozilla
and its variants are simply more strict when it comes to things like
this. For example IE will oft allow you to leave off "document" from a
document.* statement.
To be exact: Zoomin, Zoomout and resetmap work fine. the lines in
question in clickcentre are:

xselect= window.event.offsetX-175+1; yselect=
window.event.offsetY-175+1;
I'll keep tinkering I guess. (have a look at ffox too) --gummAY [47]

After much to'ing and fro'ing it turns out to be something in the
users preferences directory - both the original 1.6 and the newer 1.7
work okay with a fresh one. Now to retweak ALL those customizations
Ah, and it's nice work too. It's coming along nicely. - graybeard

Sorry to hear - gummAY [52] 12/07/04

The "now with map layer selection" [53] is excellent, it's a very
useful feature.
It's obviously not going to be easy to start at a given node (I
imagine that option is on your feature list), but the option to do so
would be the icing on the cake, as well as a button to recenter it
when we roam to far.
An easy way to snag the Node co-ordinates might be to include this
directly from the individual node id pages [54] (as a 3rd map)? -
graybeard [55] 11/07/2004

DAN\'S THOUGHTS

Wow! Peter, the clickable, layer-selectable map rocks my socks off!
Man, the whole of LocFinder [56] should be based around it. Features
such as "node compare" and "search" could be included on the same page
or appear as a child page that change the view of the main map. As
well as clicking on the map to move around, would it be possible to
have a sidebar (or links that pop up child pages) that allows you to
enter a node name, street address a la automatic lookup [57], suburb
only or raw GPS coordinates. When any of these locations is entered
the map should centre on it (in the case of suburb or area, the map
should encompass the whole suburb).

Would it be possible also to have a "printable map" link that would
pop up the current map view as a larger map in a child window. By not
having browse features on this printable map, it would stop the server
from being hammered with requests for big maps.

At some later date, perhaps an option to display a list of the X
number of closest nodes to the centre of the map, similar to the
closest nodes [58] page.

I suppose the map could have two modes - node view mode and browse
view. Node view would be pretty much the same as the /maps/view?id=XXX
type page, but with some browse features, such as layer selection.
Clicking on the map to move around would keep the original node data
display until you clicked on another node. Browse view would replace
specific node data with more browse and search features such as the
ones described above.

Basically browse view opens up the map so that you aren't restricted
to viewing the map from the point of view of any particular node - you
can now go anywhere. If we ever get line-of-site cross-sections and/or
signal propogation maps happening, we can create them for any point on
the map, not necessarily from or to a currently registered node
location.

Hmm, maybe Tyson will tell me off for not putting these thoughts on
the MapServer [59] Feature Requests section. But all the fun stuff is
happening here, dammit! -- DanFlett [60]

I've just had a play with
http://www.melbournewireless.org.au/maps/gpslookup [61] and found that
you only need to input the suburb and it takes you there. With the
browse feature if your street wasn't on the map you could zoom out or
find it easily enough. Of course, we might want to use a method that
doesn't rely on another site to get the coordinates -DanFlett

Centering a map by node id requires server based php as far as i know

but should be able to do it by gps co-ord soon. -Peter 5/8/04

Centred by nodeid is now done (thanks Gummay for the php input), have
to fine tune the 350x350 map , but the 800x600 seems spot on - Peter
30/9/04

If you want check out the WiND - Wireless Nodes Database project
[62]. WiND [63] is targeted at wireless community networks. The
project was originally created for the Athens Wireless Metropolitan
Network located in Athens, Greece. It supports multiple users and
multiple nodes per user, with different access right for each job. It
stores node information such as location, height, area, region,
backbone and AP interfaces, roof view photos, subnets and hosts in a
node, etc., and provides a powerful way to search this information.
Using NASA's SRTM data, it graphs the line of sight and Fresnel zone
between nodes and calculates free space loss for the distance between
them. It uses Google Maps or Google Earth and can manage IP ranges and
DNS. - Cirrus 17/04/06
