Writing GIS and Mapping Software for .NET

Mapping in .NET

In part one of this article, 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 included source code in C# and VB.NET which harnessed 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. The example source code in this article is in C#, but all source code in the attached source code is available for both C# and VB.NET
