Starting with the Map and MapStats Activities, and creating an offline map activity where users can view maps and add their own data.

Objectives

  • Browse set of maps of Haiti, working offline ✓
  • Ability to map a latitude,longitude point ✓
  • Search by name of city to get closest view ✓
  • Read in a KML (Google Earth) file of points ✓
  • Search by content text
  • Create placemarks; add photos and text
  • Paste from OpenStreetMap or Google Maps when connected to internet
  • Add lines, allowing roadmaps
  • Read in a KML file of points and lines
  • Use XOL bundles to add additional maps / cities / data
  • Share points between XOs

Current Screenshots

This is a very clumsy beta version.

The latitude/longitude position of Jacmel is marked with a blue square. Clicking on the square reveals text information. The black square is a centering-mark for drawing additional lines.

Loading a KML File

The more detailed USAID relief map of Port-Au-Prince appears on top of a Haiti roadmap. Instead of zooming in like this, it should be possible to click and "jump" to only the Port-Au-Prince view.

Just added Import KML - these are from MINUSTAH's list of hospitals (MINUSTAH is UN Mission to Haiti)

Loading these points on one XO will "telegraph" their location to all XOs sharing the activity. The text content of the points can be edited by any XO user and are saved (so saving and reloading the instance will show the points)

Create Points, add Text

Add points to the map and add text that can be shared with others.

LagonavWiki.png

As with the Map activity, you can embed a Wikipedia article using codes such as wikiHT::Lagonav (il) and wikiFR::La Gonâve, but this requires internet access. If there is a WikiBrowse-Haiti in the works, it would be possible to link to those articles.

Other codes, such as img::file:///home/media/picture.jpg can also work if needed.

Media Mapping with Record

Photos, audio, and video made in Record can be placed onto the map.
