GPS Evaluator

Display position on Google Maps

Start webserver (linux only!)

First you need to start a webserver. The included script starts a small php server, which is included in the php5 package. USE THIS ONLY FOR DEVELOPMENT

./start_server.sh

The script will start a webserver for localhost (127.0.0.1) on port 8000. Now you can open the url

http://localhost:8000

and you should see a map.

Possible problems:

You may need to install php on your machine. This can be done with the command

sudo apt-get install php5

Why do I need a webserver?

The index.html uses AJAX (XMLHttpRequest) to read the json-file. Without the webserver this will not work!

Start dummy gps position generator

This program generates 2 different positions and save as json-file into the specified file. At the moment, the json-file must saved in the www directory and filename data.json.

../server/build/dummy_gps_generator data.json (assuming you are in the www directory)

The first argument must be the name of the json-file.
