Una herramienta cartográfica digital basada en XML para la ciudad de La Plata
Keywords:
geocoding, GIS, Google MapsAbstract
This paper presents a specific application developed by the integration of two tools: Google Maps and a high level programming language: Octave. The Google Maps API in Javascript allows the construction of space objects. This language integrated with algorithms that solve the original geocoding of the streets of La Plata and management of a database can provide a service location. The example presented is the location of the nearest pharmacies to a certain address. Users are prompted to enter their address and the system returns the three closest pharmacies.The code is easily adaptable to other types of requirements: gas stations, restaurants, etc.; its only limitation is that the geocoding is developed for the city of La Plata.
