Introduction - If you have any usage issues, please Google them yourself
In part one of this series, I described how to write an interpreter for raw GPS NMEA data. Part two described how to monitor and enforce GPS precision data to develop commercial-quality software. The articles includes source code in C# and VB.NET which harness the power of GPS satellites to determine the current location, synchronize the computer clock to atomic time, and point to a satellite on a cloudy day. Yet, even with all of this code, most developers still need a way to display GPS information along with other geographic features. With the help of my colleague Phil Smith, a lead developer of our “GIS.NET” mapping component and the “Geodesy.NET” coordinate and projection library, this article will teach you how to generate your own maps.
