Practical uses for UI-View


Brian Davies
 

Hi All

I'm currently experimenting with UI-View with the intention of using the
system on future Raynet events. The biggest problem I have is producing
suitable maps that are accurate enough for the purpose. I need street
level maps that I can zoom out of, by changing to another map, to get the
coverage of the event.

For example in July I am organizing the Raynet coverage of the Big H Cycle
Ride. This starts at Hampton Court and ends at Hove, so it starts in
London crosses Surrey and ends up on the South Sussex Coast, in all 60
miles. I want to monitor the sweep vehicle by plotting every couple of
minutes. The map of the whole area is of fairly small scale. The idea is
to monitor progress on a map of the entire route, but should it be
necessary to locate the vehicle with some accuracy then I would change to a
street level map of the last known position.

All this requires maps of some accuracy. The ones I have at present will
not do, for example travelling 9 miles last evening , my destination put me
on the Northern side of the M25 whereas I was on the Southern side - on the
map my position was around 2 - 3 miles out.

As yet I haven't worked out a method of producing the accuracy needed.

Anyone any ideas?
