&dhucpackage; &dhsection; &dhsource; &dhversion; &dhpackage; program to manage GPS data &dhpackage; degrees degrees ZoomLevelOSM MapId file &dhpackage; &dhpackage; DESCRIPTION Viking is a program to manage GPS data. You can import and plot tracks, routes and waypoints, show OpenStreetMap (OSM) and/or other maps, generate maps (using Mapnik), geotag images, add coordinate lines, make new tracks, routes and waypoints, hide different things, etc. It is written mainly in C with some C++ and uses the GTK+ 2 toolkit. It is available for Linux, other POSIX operating systems and Windows. Homepage: http://viking.sf.net Viking is licensed under the GNU GPL. OPTIONS Specify file to load at start. Enable debug output. Enable verbose output. Show help options. Show version. Set the initial position to the specified latitude in decimal degrees. Set the initial position to the specified longitude in decimal degrees. Set the initial zoom level. The value is the OSM zoom level (0 - 22). Add a map layer by specifying the map id. The value needs to match one of the internal ids or an id from the maps configuration extension (see below). Specifying a value of 0 will use the configured map layer default. Internal Map Ids: OSM Mapnik = 13 OSM Cycle = 17 Mapquest OSM = 19 Extending Viking Currently, &dhpackage; has some extension points based on configuration files. The file format is heavily inspired by the GtkBuilder file format: you specify the class of the GObject to build and set its properties. Technically, it is a XML file containing a "objects" root element. Inside this element, you set a collection of "object". Here is an example: Property value Property value ... ]]> You can find more examples in the documentation part of the distribution. Map Source It is possible to add new map's sources. The file is ~/.viking/maps.xml. An example of the file in the distribution doc/examples/maps.xml. The VikSlippyMapSource allows to declare any map's source working like OpenStreetMap. It supports the following properties: id this is an integer and should be unique as it used to identify the map source name a string (should be unique) that is used for the OSM style cache directory name when the Map Cache directory is the default (~/.viking-maps) label the text displayed in the map's source selection dialog hostname the server's hostname (eg. "tile.openstreetmap.org") url the parametrized address of the tile, in the spirit of C printf format, with 3 "%d" fields for Z, X and Y (in that order) (eg. "/%d/%d/%d.png") The full parametrized address can just be put in the URL field and the hostname field doesn't need specifying. e.g. "https://tile.openstreetmap.org/%d/%d/%d.png" zoom-min (optional) The minimum zoom value supported by the tile server. The Default is 0 if not specified. zoom-max (optional) The maximum zoom value supported by the tile server. The Default is 18 if not specified. See Zoom Levels lat-min (optional) The minimum latitude value in degrees supported by the tile server. The Default is -90 degrees if not specified. lat-max (optional) The maximum latitude value in degrees supported by the tile server. The Default is 90 degrees if not specified. lon-min (optional) The minimum longitude value in degrees supported by the tile server. The Default is -180 degrees if not specified. lon-max (optional) The maximum longitude value in degrees supported by the tile server. The Default is 180 degrees if not specified. file-extension (optional) The file extension of the files on disk. The default is .png If the tile source URL ends in something other than .png, then this parameter will need to match it. This can also be useful in reading a tileset from other software which may name tiles in an alternative form, e.g. for Mobile Atlas creator it names them .png.tile The file types actually usable are those supported by GDK Pixbuf Library, which includes at least PNG and JPEG. Remember to include the beginning '.' when specifying this parameter. switch-xy (optional) Swap the X,Y values around in the URL parametrized ordering. The default is false. check-file-server-time (optional) Sends the timestamp of the tile to the server, so the server can decide whether it should send a new tile or not. The default is false. use-etag (optional) Use and compare the ETag value in determining whether to download a newer tile. The default is false. The ETag value is stored in a separate file in the same directory as the tile to enable checking the value across multiple runs of the program. The VikTmsMapSource allows to declare any TMS service. It supports the following properties (as per VikSlippyMapSource above): id label hostname url check-file-server-time (optional) zoom-min (optional) zoom-max (optional) lat-min (optional) lat-max (optional) lon-min (optional) lon-max (optional) The VikWmscMapSource allows to declare any WMS or WMS-C service. It supports the following properties (as per VikSlippyMapSource above): id label hostname url check-file-server-time (optional) zoom-min (optional) zoom-max (optional) lat-min (optional) lat-max (optional) lon-min (optional) lon-max (optional) Go-to search engines It is possible to add new new search engines for the "Go-To" feature. The file is ~/.viking/goto_tools.xml. An example of the file in the distribution doc/examples/goto_tools.xml. Currently, there is a single object class available: VikGotoXmlTool. Such feature allows to declare any search engine using a XML format as result. The related properties are: label the text displayed in the Go-To dialog url-format the parametrized address of the query, in the spirit of C printf format, with a single "%s" field (replaced by the query string) lat-path XML path of the latitude (eg. /root/parent/elem) lat-attr (optional) name of the attribute (of previous element) containing the latitude lon-path XML path of the longitude (eg. /root/parent/elem) lon-attr (optional) name of the attribute (of previous element) containing the longiude As a facility (or readability) it is possible to set both path and attribute name in a single property, like an XPath expression. To do so, simply set both info in lat-path (or lon-path) in the following format: /root/parent/elem@attribute. External tools It is possible to add new external tools. The file is ~/.viking/external_tools.xml. An example of the file in the distribution doc/examples/external_tools.xml. The VikWebtoolCenter allows to declare any Webtool using a logic based on center coordinates and zoom level value. The related properties are: label the text displayed in the menu entry url the parametrized URL to open, in the spirit of C printf format, with 2 "%s" and a "%d" fields for X, Y and Z (zoom level) (eg. "http://hostname/?lat=%s&lon=%s&zoom=%d") The VikWebtoolBounds allows to declare any Webtool using a logic based on bounds coordinates. The related properties are: label the text displayed in the menu entry url the parametrized address of the tile, in the spirit of C printf format, with 4 "%s" fields for left, right, bottom and top (eg. "http://hostname:8111/load_and_zoom?left=%s&right=%s&bottom=%s&top=%s") Remote File Datasources It is possible to add web references expected to return a file which can then be opened directly or converted via GPSBabel. The file is ~/.viking/datasources.xml. An example of the file is in the source distribution doc/examples/datasources.xml. The VikWebtoolDatasource allows to declare any URL using logic based on coordinates. The related properties are: label the text displayed in the menu entry url the parametrized URL to open in the spirit of C printf format, with up to 7 "%s" values. e.g. http://hostname/getfile?lat=%s&lon=%s The order and meaning of these parameters is given by the url_format_code below url_format_code A string describing the parametrized URL substitution parameters, each character represents how to translate each term. B = Bottom of the current view i.e. minimum latitude L = Left of the current view i.e. minimum longitude T = Top of the current view i.e. maximum latitude R = Right of the current view i.e. maximum longitude A = center lAtitude of the current view O = center lOngitude of the current view Z = OSM Zoom value of the current view. See Zoom Levels S = A user specified input string requested from the user via a dialog box Thus for the url example above then the format code should be AO file_type This value is passed on for the -i parameter in interfacing with GPSBabel. If it is not defined then the returned file is interpreted internally as a GPX file. Possible values such as 'kml', 'mapsource' etc.. can be used. See GPSBabel File Formats for the full list. babel_filter_args This value is passed on for the filter arguments interfacing with GPSBabel. E.g. "-x nuketypes,routes" can be used to filter all routes from the results. input_label This value is used when requesting input from the user. It is the label of the text input box.
