I am analyzing some GPS data and I want to visualize the data on google maps. I remember seeing an exmaple on this topic ( google maps and Diadem interface) but cannot seem to find it anywhere.
I am using Diadem 11.1.0 and I doubt the GPS functionality is not available for this version ?
Please suggest alternate ways to visualize this if possible.
Thanks

Hello Vamshi,
The GPS plotting functionality became available with DIAdem 2010, and is available as part of the Professional version of DIAdem.
It uses Open Street Map (not Google maps) due to Google licensing restrictions. You can see the maps here: http://www.openstreetmap.org/
You can download the DIAdem 2010 evaluation version here by selecting the "Evaluate DIAdem" section: http://www.ni.com/diadem/
DIAdem offers DataPlugins for GPX and NMEA GPS files, so these can be loaded very easily and then added to a map.
Please ask if you have additional questions,

Hi Vamshi,
Your only option prior to DIAdem 2010 (aka 11.2) is to plot the latitude vs. longitude on a regular 2D graph-- this will show the relative trajectory/path.

Brad,Otmar - Thanks for your response.
I found a website GPSVisualizer.com which can plot GPS data out of excel spreadsheet. This was the quickest way to get what I was looking for.
I'll explore this feature in the newer version when it is made available for us.
Thanks
