Creating a custom navigation application for campus setup

Several ways to add foot paths to your OSM map.

A FeatureCollection

  • Create a FeatureCollection of the paths using the LineString tool on geojson.io . (sorry, this might not be possible for the Zimbabwe U campus; you may have to use a different tool)
  • Draw the foot paths where you need them on geojson.io tool

createPathswithLineString
and save the result.

  • Load the paths FeatureCollection into your Map component.

These tutorials show how to use the tool at geojson.io and how to load the FeatureCollection file.

LineStrings

  • Create a set of LineStrings using the LineString component. You might use a List of coordinates of the foot path for each LineString.
  • Use code similar to this


to create the List of coordinates for a single foot path;

  • save the List;
  • later add it to a LineString showing the path.
  • Use a new LineString for each path you want to add to your Project.

You can, if you have the patience, manipulate the shape of the LineString on the Designer. Difficult but possible

Get the foot paths you need added to OpenStreetMap.

  • Join the team of OSM volunteers who are allowed to add features to the official OSM tiles. The OSM web page explains how to add features to their map tiles.

Sorry, you can't do that unless you join the OSM mapping volunteers.
