Geolocation Software

Gordian Labs principals have worked on several Geolocation-based projects including co-founding and major contributions to WiGLE.net and the creation and development of Runometer. Both sites combine the creation of web-based user communities and data analysis with the use of maps to illustrate and inform users about location and spatial relationships.

Gordian Labs has experience in the design and creation of electronic cartography and geo-aware applications including such technologies as:

  • Processing and analysis of GIS data formats such as:
    • ArcView
    • USGS Tiger and Elevation data
    • VMAP data
    • MySQL and Oracle geospatial databases
  • Interpretation, storage and search of geolocation formats including:
    • NMEA sentences
    • Rockwell/SiRF sentences
    • .gps traces
    • .gpx XML data
  • Visualization in vector and raster such as:
    • Bigmap-based, mip-mapped interactive maps
    • OpenGL visualization
    • PalmOS client software
    • Vector rendering engines
    • Compact "glyph" based route designations
  • Integration with third-party geo-aware and visualization applications including:
    • Google Earth (KML)
    • Netstumbler
    • Kismet/Kismac
    • Google Maps
