SurfaceGPS

SurfaceGPS is an application that calculates the area of a piece of land using the GPS sensor of a smartphone.

Getting Started

A) To test this application:

Go to Play Store to install it in your android smartphone
How to use SurfaceGPS?

Step #1: In the parcels list, click on the top right to create a piece of land, give it a name, and click on the top right to save it.

Step #2: Click on the piece in the pieces list, click on 'Save' and move on the land. This application will memorize your positions, as you move. Once at the starting point, click 'Stop', and the area in m² is displayed at the top right.

B) To improve this application:

Install the lastest version of the Ionic CLI
Note: SurfaceGPS requires Ionic CLI 3.
Run:

git clone https://github.com/LaurentBouquet/surfacegps.git
cd surfacegps
ionic serve -c

Pages

SurfaceGPS loads with the FirstRunPage set to TutorialPage as the default. If the user has already gone through this page once, it will be skipped the next time he loads the app.

If the tutorial is skipped, the Welcome page will be displayed. This is the page titled MainPage which is set to be the TabsPage as the default.

The entry and main pages can be configured easily by updating the corresponding variables in [src/pages/pages.ts].

Providers

The list of pieces is stored in SQLite and managed by the "provider" Items.

i18n

SurfaceGPS comes with internationalization (i18n) out of the box with ngx-translate. This makes it easy to change the text used in the app by modifying only one file.

Adding Languages

To add new languages, add new files to the src/assets/i18n directory, following the pattern of LANGCODE.json where LANGCODE is the language/locale code (ex: en/gb/de/es/etc.).

Changing the Language

To change the language of the app, edit src/app/app.component.ts and modify translate.use('en') to use the LANGCODE from src/assets/i18n/
