Schéma de principe de la géolocalisation par GPS La géolocalisation ou géoréférencement est un procédé permettant de positionner un objet (une personne, etc) sur un plan ou une carte à l'aide de ses coordonnées géographiques. Cette opération est réalisée à l'aide d'un terminal capable d'être localisé (grâce à un système de positionnement par satellites et un récepteur GPS par exemple) ou à d'autres techniques et de publier (en temps réel ou de façon différée) ses coordonnées géographiques (latitude/longitude).

Les positions enregistrées peuvent être stockées au sein du terminal et être extraites postérieurement, ou être transmises en temps réel vers une plateforme logicielle de géolocalisation. La transmission temps réel nécessite un terminal équipé d'un moyen de télécommunication de type GSM, GPRS, UMTS, radio ou satellite lui permettant d'envoyer les positions à des intervalles réguliers.

Even though I have a handheld GPS, I always carry a Green Trails map for the area I’m exploring–and most the time thats what I refer to; I just like seeing where I am on a bigger “screen” than the GPS provides. Green Trails maps are much clearer, more up to date & more accurate than the USGS Quads. They’re also a local Seattle company. The problem with Green Trails maps is that they aren’t available electronically–either as a download, or even better as a tiled mapping application (think Google Maps), and that’s where I have a couple of great websites for you to check out.

Acme Mapper Acme Mapper is a service built on top of Google Maps that allows you to see some maps that aren’t available on regular Google Maps. When you first open up mapper.acme.com you are presented with a regular Google map, most probably centered somewhere close to where Google thinks you are based on your computer’s IP address. Libre Map Project. World Wind JAVA SDK. OpenStreetMap. OpenStreetMap is built by a community of mappers that contribute and maintain data about roads, trails, cafés, railway stations, and much more, all over the world. Local Knowledge OpenStreetMap emphasizes local knowledge.

Contributors use aerial imagery, GPS devices, and low-tech field maps to verify that OSM is accurate and up to date. Community Driven OpenStreetMap's community is diverse, passionate, and growing every day. Our contributors include enthusiast mappers, GIS professionals, engineers running the OSM servers, humanitarians mapping disaster-affected areas, and many more. Open Data OpenStreetMap is open data: you are free to use it for any purpose as long as you credit OpenStreetMap and its contributors.
