Hola Alberto,

Si no te importa escribiré en castellano jeje. De todos modos si crees que la 
comunicación en el mailing debe de ser en inglés, dímelo y lo traduzco. 

He hechado un vistazo a todo lo que comentas y me parece muy interesante. 
libLocation hace muy buena pinta y creo que podría utilizarse sin mucho 
problema. En mi opinión es necesario tener un control de la calidad de las 
mediciones realizadas con el GPS, ya que el desarrollo que se porpone sería 
utilizado en su mayoría por profesionales a los que les interesa tener una 
aproximación de la precisión de los datos obtenidos para adecuar su futuro uso. 
Por desgracia parece imposible trabajar con ficheros RINEX desde el GPS de un 
smartphone Android [1]. Sin embargo, se pueden tratar diveros datos obtenidos 
por el GPS a través de la información obtenida por el protocolo NMEA 0183 [2]. 
libLocation creo que da soporte a NMEA y la API de Android creo que permite 
extraer su información [3]. Insisto en tener "controlada" la precisión porque 
si miras el video de demostración de open-gpstracker verás que los puntos 
adquiridos van haciendo zig-zag posiblemente por ser los "datos crudos" 
obtenidos por el GPS. De todas formas creo que existen dos tipos de mediciones 
a abordar: las que estén basadas en levantamientos a través de puntos 
significativos (donde la precisión de los puntos medidos es importante), y las 
que sean de tipo ruta (que con el suavizado de libLocation no haría falta tener 
tan controlada la precisión).

Respecto de exportar a diferentes formatos, sería excelente, cuando tenga 
tiempo miraré cosillas. Y sobre consultar a los usuarios de la lista de gvSIG 
sobre que ven más prioritario, creo que es muy buena idea, cuanto más feedback 
mejor.

Bueno, seguiré informandome y dando mi opinión sobre el asunto, que espero 
sirva de algo. A ver si más gente se anima a hacer su aportación a este hilo.

Saludos!

    Hi,

    

    in my opinion there are two different parts on this project. 

    

    In one hand the "GPS tracking stuff". The desirable features can be
    as you mention, tracking and logging locations, allow points, lines
    or polygons, attach custom forms, etc. Maybe we can take a look to
    libLocation [1] and test if it can be used on Android as it provides
    a well known API and several interesting implementations of
    strategies to filter and smooth the track. There are also some other
    libs to track GPS locations [2] that could be used by gvSIG Mini (I
    don't know, I'm just giving ideas).

    

    On the other hand, the output format. Having support for shapes
    would be very interesting and it could be taken as a priority. I
    don't know how hard this part is, we should have some support from
    gvSIG developers (maybe a co-mentor). Anyway having an API to allow
    several output formats a part from SHP, such as GML, KML, GPX,
    SpatialLite, etc. would be nice, not coding the writers but the API.

    

    This is some kind of a "wish list", although I'm just a developer,
    maybe we can poll the gvSIG users list, to see which features they
    consider most important, not to code all of them but to focus in
    having something really useful. This is a good moment to gather
    information, test libraries, feature requests to start planning your
    summer.

    Good luck,

       Hi Alberto,

        

        Thanks for the welcome. Well, in a first moment I can think of
            several suggestion improvements
            for "gvSIG Mini surveying" feature. For
        example:

        

        - user can choose POINT, LINE, POLYGON as the geometry type

        - user can create a related .dbf whith the information
          of the object
            attributes

            - user can define a simple form to populate the .dbf when
            element is measured (whith a personal ListView)

            - user can choose a level of accuracy (depending
            of future use) of the gps collected data
            (it requires a statistical strategy)  

        -
            user can define a "exact" points of the several existing


            networks for the later adjustment

        - user can adjust the data before exporting file

        - we can explore the possibility to use a VRS strategy

        - etc.

        

        This is a brainstorming, but everything said should be quietly
            studied. In the other hand, if I have an idea
        I propose in this mailing list.

        

        Best regards

          Hi Raúl,

          

          as you probably know the program is currently in the
          "organization applications" stage [1], although it's a good
          moment to introduce you and start discussing possible ideas,
          so welcome :). 

          

          The "gvSIG Mini surveying" feature is a very demanded one
          among professionals that want to use gvSIG Mini, but feel free
          to think and propose your own ideas or improve the one
          proposed.

          

          Best regards.

             Hi, 

              

              My name is Raúl and I'm student from Polytechnic University of 
Valencia (UPV). I'm
              really interested to collaborate with the GSoC 2012.
              Actually I'm interested with the proposal made in wiki
              about gvSIG Mini ("Adding GPS Survey capabilities to gvSIG
              Mini") . I think that is an excellent idea.

              

              I graduated in Technical Engineer in Topography and also I
              graduated in Master about Software Engineering and
              Information Systems. Currently I'm doing a Specialist
              University Title about Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing.
              Also I have done an Android course in UPV that took 200
              hours.

              

              We're in contact.

              

              Best regards
