Click https://map.igismap.com/gis-data to access Download GIS Data tool

Using Add GIS Data tool, you can these data in your map in IGISMap application iteslf and apply IGISMap tool to perform various geospatial operations. Data are provided in two lists for each country or US states. They are Administrative Layer and Other Layer.

Administrative GIS data are polygon vector data of administrative boundaries such as national outline boundary, state boundaries, province boundaries, district boundaries, counties, postcode boundaries etc. Most of the data in IGISMap GIS data are from Open Street Maps. Administrative level data are collected from various government websites and other authentic online sources such as US Census Bureau, Humanitarian Data Exchange, Census India etc.

In this article we will Add GIS Data and Proximity Analysis tools of IGISMap to plot the locations of bank in south Indian states, like the following.

Adding data from Add GIS Data tool

For the requirement of mapping bank locations in south India, let us use the point data of bank locations and polygon data of state level boundaries of India from the IGISMap GIS database of India.

When Add GIS Data is opened, select the country from the list. You can search the name in the search box. Here we will select India and the list of GIS data associated with India will be opened

Adding state level GIS data of India

From the list opened, select administrative boundaries state level to preview the data. After confirming the data, click Add Layer icon. This will open the options to Crop Layer and Add Layer.

Based on our requirement, we only need to map the bank locations of south Indian states. Even though there is no official South India or North India division for the Republic of India, cetain states are commonly considered as south Indian states, north Indian, north east Indian states etc based on their geographical position. Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telungana, Andhra Pradesh and Goa are considered to be south Indian states.

Thus lets use the Crop Layer functionality to select these states from the data we added. For this, select Crop Layer tool and draw a polygon intersecting all the south Indian states, as shown below.

After the polygon is completed, click Add Layer button to publish the polygon GIS map of south Indian states to the map.

Create grid layer over England national boundary

GIS solutions are based on mathematical and geometrical models applied on location integrated data. Most GIS software have mapping platforms built on these models that support geospatial data and tools for creating, editing and analysing these data. Tools for creating new GIS data with respect to the input GIS data plays an important role in geospatial operation. Creating Voronoi polygons, polygon to point conversion, create buffer layer etc are some of the important tools. Developing grid strcuture over the area of interest is a process that has important application in GIS. Simply understanding grids are intersection of coordinates addressing latitude and longitude data. For example, if we add index to the boxes created by grid then we can easily identify agricultural lands, settlement area, parks, stadium, forests, etc.

Most GIS software provides the tool to create grids based on an input GIS data. But using these software require adequate traning and knowledge in GIS concept. Here is why IGISMap become an important tool in GIS industry.

IGISMap Create Grid tool

Create Grid tool of IGISMap lets you create grids over your GIS data in just two steps and lets you publish as a GIS layer in your map, where you can further download in any GIS format.

Add Custom CRS projection in QGIS

When do you need to add Custom CRS projection to add in QGIS? After all QGIS supports more than 2700 predefined CRS – Coordinates Reference system. Which is very common and is also installed in PostGIS database. But there are times when you receive a GIS data files in different CRS or projections or when somebody or your clients wants the GIS data files in a different CRS. At this time you may enquire to look into Custom CRS.

I got the same case, when one of my client was trying to convert a GML file to KML file. It would be a different topic to understand or find the CRS of GIS file. When my client asked for the problem they were facing while using the tool, I had jumped over to find the issue to solve it. As the file the user was trying to convert was GML file, which can also be opened in Text editor, I was able to easily figure out the projection the file is in. Which I found is very rarely used and it was not supported by the tool then. Finally we had converted the file from backend and was able to successfully resolve the clients problem.

Let me give you step by step procedure to make a file supports custom CRS and render it accordingly in QGIS.

Steps to Add Custom CRS projection in QGIS

1.) Open up QGIS. On the top Navbar of QGIS, select Settings option and click on Custom CRS or Custom Projection option. (In both version of QGIS 2.x or QGIS 3.x you will be getting this options for Custom CRS projection). This will open up a new Window in QGIS with different options.

2.) In the window, click on + or plus sign and give a name to the CRS. And under parameter option, put the values in proj4 definition of CRS.

Most of the time, you will be able to get the projection value in WKT format and not in proj4 format. While to add custom CRS QGIS supports proj4 format to be added.

For example here, in my case, I was know that the GML file is having the PCS_Lambert_Conformal_Conic projection. And for the same to support in QGIS, I wanted get to the proj4 value of PCS_Lambert_Conformal_Conic. So I was able to find out the link to get the wkt of PCS_Lambert_Conformal_Conic. Somehow I was not able to get the proj4 which this website support.

So I converted wkt to proj4 format of CRS with gdalsrsinfo open source tool of GDAL.

gdalsrsinfo -o proj4 example.prj

Example - Add Custom CRS projection in QGIS — Example – Add Custom CRS in QGIS

Once done save the changes. QGIS also provides a testing tool, where we can provide the WGS 84 coordinates and get the coordinates of newly added custom CRS projection.

3.) Now after adding the custom projection or custom CRS, you can find the option to change the CRS of the layer or file added. That is, right click on layer and click on Set layer CRS. Search and Select the custom CRS or projection Added.

Selection - Add Custom CRS projection in QGIS — Selection – Add Custom projection in QGIS

This would make your file to work properly, as how you want it.Hope this tutorial helps you to Add Custom CRS or Custom Projection in QGIS, and render or display the file properly. If you found any issue while performing the steps please comment below.

Switching between Google Maps and OpenStreetMap in React Native

Switching between Google Maps and OpenStreetMap in React Native : In this post I am going to discuss about Google Maps and OpenStreetMap in react native with one example.This example code will just show the Google Maps and OpenStreetMap on the screen of mobile ,but before going to detail of this article I suggest you to read the following page:

react-native-maps

Switching between Google Maps and OpenStreetMap in React Native

Installation :

First create a react native project by following command :

react-native init MyProject

Install React Native Map components in your React Native project:

cd MyProject

npm install react-native-maps --save

Build configuration on iOS :

For this go to Link

Build configuration on Android:

Define the react-native-maps project in android/settings.gradle:

...
include ':react-native-maps'
project(':react-native-maps').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-maps/lib/android')

Add the react-native-maps as an dependency of your app in android/app/build.gradle:

...
dependencies {
  ...
  implementation project(':react-native-maps')
}

In build.gradle of android(If you’ve defined project-wide properties ):

buildscript {...}
allprojects {...}

/**
 + Project-wide Gradle configuration properties
 */
ext {
    compileSdkVersion   = 26
    targetSdkVersion    = 26
    buildToolsVersion   = "26.0.2"
    supportLibVersion   = "26.1.0"
    googlePlayServicesVersion = "11.8.0"
    androidMapsUtilsVersion = "0.5+"
}

If you do not have project-wide properties defined and have a different play-services version then use the following instead :

...
dependencies {
   ...
   implementation(project(':react-native-maps')){
       exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-base'
       exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-maps'
   }
   implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:10.0.1'
   implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:10.0.1'
}

Specify your Google Maps API Key:

Add your API key to your manifest file (android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml):

<application>
   <!-- You will only need to add this meta-data tag, but make sure it's a child of application -->
   <meta-data
     android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
     android:value="Your Google maps API Key Here"/>
</application>

To get API key:

Google maps API Key

Add import com.airbnb.android.react.maps.MapsPackage;and new MapsPackage() in your MainApplication.java:

import com.airbnb.android.react.maps.MapsPackage;
...
    @Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
        return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
                new MainReactPackage(),
                new MapsPackage()
        );
    }

Example:

In our example ,there are four java script file as follow:

index.js
App.js
GoogleMapScreen.js
OpenStreetMapScreen.js

index.js:

import {AppRegistry} from 'react-native';
import App from './App';
import {name as appName} from './app.json';

AppRegistry.registerComponent(appName, () => App);

App.js :

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import {View,Text ,ScrollView} from 'react-native';
import { createDrawerNavigator,createAppContainer,DrawerItems, SafeAreaView } from 'react-navigation'
import {Container} from 'native-base';
import GoogleMapScreen from './src/GoogleMapScreen';
import OpenStreetMapScreen from './src/OpenStreetMapScreen';

const CustomDrawerContentComponent = (props) => (
     <ScrollView>
        <View style={{height:80,backgroundColor:'#1a8cff',alignItems:'center',justifyContent:'center'}}>
         <Text style={{ color:'white',fontSize:30}}>Maps</Text>
        </View>
        <SafeAreaView style={{flex:1}} forceInset={{ top: 'always', horizontal: 'never' }}>
        <DrawerItems {...props} />
       </SafeAreaView>
     </ScrollView>
);

const MyDrawerNavigator = createDrawerNavigator(
   {
    GoogleMap:GoogleMapScreen,
    OpenStreetMap:OpenStreetMapScreen,
   },
   {
    contentComponent:CustomDrawerContentComponent
   }
);

const MyApp = createAppContainer(MyDrawerNavigator);

class App extends React.Component{
   render(){
      return(
        <Container>
          <MyApp />
        </Container>
     );
   }
}

export default App;

Explaination of App.js :

In App.js java script file,we are importing component from native-base and React-Navigation 3.x ,we need to install:

Install NativeBase

npm install native-base --save

Install Peer Dependencies

react-native link

Install the react-navigation package

npm install --save react-navigation

install react-native-gesture-handler :

npm install --save react-native-gesture-handler

Link all native dependencies:

react-native link

In this code , one drawer is created for two screen namely GoogleMapScreen and OpenStreetMapScreen , for more detail on drawer in react-navigation 3.x ,you can refer to following post:

drawer in react-navigation 3.x

GoogleMapScreen.js

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import {
StyleSheet,
View,
Dimensions,
ScrollView,
Image
} from 'react-native';
import {Button,Container,Header,Left,Right,Icon,Text,Body } from 'native-base';
import MapView from 'react-native-maps';

const { width, height } = Dimensions.get('window');

const ASPECT_RATIO = width / height; //,
const LATITUDE = 22.720555;
const LONGITUDE = 75.858633;
const LATITUDE_DELTA = 0.0922;
const LONGITUDE_DELTA = LATITUDE_DELTA * ASPECT_RATIO;

class GoogleMapScreen extends React.Component {
   static navigationOptions = {
     drawerLabel: 'Google Maps',
     drawerIcon: ({ tintColor }) => (
           <Image
                 source={require('../image/icons8-google-maps-48.png')}
            />
     ),
};
constructor(props) {
  super(props);
  this.state = {
    region: {
      latitude: LATITUDE,
      longitude: LONGITUDE,
      latitudeDelta: LATITUDE_DELTA,
      longitudeDelta: LONGITUDE_DELTA,
    },
  };
}
render() {
  return (
   <Container>
    <Header>
     <Left style={{ flexDirection: 'row' }}>
      <Icon onPress={() => this.props.navigation.openDrawer()} name="md-menu" style={{ color: 'white', marginRight: 15 }} />
     </Left>
     <View style={{alignItems:'center',justifyContent:'center'}}>
       <Text style={{ color: 'white' }} >Google Maps</Text>
     </View>
     <Right>
       <Icon name="md-cart" style={{ color: 'white' }} />
     </Right>
    </Header>
    <View >
     <MapView
        provider={this.props.provider}
        style={styles.map}
        scrollEnabled={true}
        zoomEnabled={true}
        pitchEnabled={true}
        rotateEnabled={true}
        initialRegion={this.state.region}
     />
    </View>
  </Container>
  );
 }
}// End of MyHomeScreen class
export default GoogleMapScreen;

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
   map: {
    width: 400,
    height: 800,
   },
});

Explaination of GoogleMapScreen.js:

This code is going to show google maps on the screen of mobile. These constants are define :

const { width, height } = Dimensions.get('window');

const ASPECT_RATIO = width / height;
const LATITUDE = 22.720555;
const LONGITUDE = 75.858633;
const LATITUDE_DELTA = 0.0922;
const LONGITUDE_DELTA = LATITUDE_DELTA * ASPECT_RATIO;

In constructor ,region object is initialize as follow:

this.state = {
  region: {
    latitude: LATITUDE,
    longitude: LONGITUDE,
    latitudeDelta: LATITUDE_DELTA,
    longitudeDelta: LONGITUDE_DELTA,
  },
};

The following MapView tag will shaow Google Maps on screen:

<MapView
   provider={this.props.provider}
   style={styles.map}
   scrollEnabled={true}
   zoomEnabled={true}
   pitchEnabled={true}
   rotateEnabled={true}
   initialRegion={this.state.region}
/>

OpenStreetMap.js

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import {View,StyleSheet,StatusBar,Image,Dimensions} from 'react-native';
import {Button,Container,Header,Left,Right,Icon,Text,Radio } from 'native-base';
import MapView ,{ MAP_TYPES, PROVIDER_DEFAULT,UrlTile } from 'react-native-maps';

const { width, height } = Dimensions.get('window');

const ASPECT_RATIO = width / height;
const LATITUDE = 22.720555;
const LONGITUDE = 75.858633;
const LATITUDE_DELTA = 0.0922;
const LONGITUDE_DELTA = LATITUDE_DELTA * ASPECT_RATIO;

class OpenStreetMapScreen extends React.Component {
  static navigationOptions = {
    drawerLabel: 'OpenStreetMap',
    drawerIcon: ({ tintColor }) => (
    <Image
         source={require('../image/Openstreetmap_logo.png')}
         style={{width:40,height:40}}
    />
   ),
};
constructor(props) {
   super(props);
     this.state = {
       region: {
         latitude: LATITUDE,
         longitude: LONGITUDE,
         latitudeDelta: LATITUDE_DELTA,
         longitudeDelta: LONGITUDE_DELTA,
       },
     };
 }
get mapType() {
   return this.props.provider === PROVIDER_DEFAULT ? MAP_TYPES.STANDARD : MAP_TYPES.NONE;
}
render() {
  return (
   <Container>
    <Header>
     <Left style={{ flexDirection: 'row' }}>
      <Icon onPress={() => this.props.navigation.openDrawer()} name="md-menu" style={{ color: 'white', marginRight: 15 }} />
     </Left>
     <View style={{alignItems:'center',justifyContent:'center'}}>
      <Text style={{ color: 'white' }} >OpenStreetMap</Text>
     </View>
     <Right>
      <Icon name="md-cart" style={{ color: 'white' }} />
     </Right>
    </Header>
    <View >
     <MapView
       region={this.state.region}
       provider={null}
       mapType={this.mapType}
       rotateEnabled={false}
       style={{flex: 1}}
       style={styles.map}
       showsUserLocation>
       <UrlTile
urlTemplate="http://a.tile.openstreetmap.de/tiles/osmde/{z}/{x}/{y}.png"
maximumZ={19}
/>
      </MapView>
     </View>
    </Container>
   );
  }
}
export default OpenStreetMapScreen

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
   map: {
    width: 400,
    height: 800,
   },
});

Explaination of OpenStreetMap.js :

Code of OpenStreetMap.js is similar to GoogleMapScreen.js only difference is in MapView tag as follow:

<MapView
  region={this.state.region}
  provider={null}
  mapType={this.mapType}
  rotateEnabled={false}
  style={{flex: 1}}
  style={styles.map}
  showsUserLocation>
  <UrlTile
urlTemplate="http://a.tile.openstreetmap.de/tiles/osmde/{z}/{x}/{y}.png"
maximumZ={19}
/>
</MapView>

Here MapView has one child tag <UrlTile> and prop of this tag is set to url as shown above in code which will print OpenStreetMap.

prop

mapType={this.mapType}

Here mapType function is called ,and return of this function is assign to mapType prop.

mapType function:

get mapType() {
    return this.props.provider === PROVIDER_DEFAULT ? MAP_TYPES.STANDARD : MAP_TYPES.NONE;
}

When you will run above Project ,following output will come:

In the header ,we are having menu on left side. On the click of this menu,a drawer will open as shown below:

We are having two option in drawer 1)Google Maps 2)OpenStreetMap. When we will click Google Maps ,Google Map will be on screen as shown by first ScreenShot , now when we will click second option of OpenStreetMap then output will be as shown below:

So, this all about switch from Google Map to OpenStreetMap in react native. Please do comment if something’s missing.

Drawer React Navigation 3.x – react native

Drawer React Navigation 3.x – react native: In this post we are going to learn about drawer navigation of React Navigation 3.x with one example,, but before going to detail of this article I suggest you to read the official documentation of React navigation 3.x as follow:

React Navigation 3.x

Drawer React Navigation 3.x – react native

In the below example we are going to learn basics of drawer and how to implement it in our application.

Installation :

First create a react native project by following command :

react-native init MyProject

Install the react-navigation package in your React Native project.

cd MyProject
npm install --save react-navigation

# or with yarn 
# yarn add react-navigation

install react-native-gesture-handler :

npm install --save react-native-gesture-handler

# or with yarn
# yarn add react-native-gesture-handler

Link all native dependencies:

react-native link

After all this my project’s package.json file is as follow:

{
  "name": "MyProject",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
      "start": "node node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js start",
      "test": "jest"
   },
   "dependencies": {
   "react": "16.6.1",
   "react-native": "0.57.7",
   "react-native-gesture-handler": "^1.0.10",
   "react-navigation": "^3.0.5"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
  "babel-jest": "23.6.0",
  "jest": "23.6.0",
  "metro-react-native-babel-preset": "0.50.0",
  "react-test-renderer": "16.6.1"
  },
 "jest": {
   "preset": "react-native"
  }
}

In our Project we are having two java script file as follow:

index.js
App.js

index.js :

import {AppRegistry} from 'react-native';
import App from './App';
import {name as appName} from './app.json';

AppRegistry.registerComponent(appName, () => App);

App.js :

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { View } from 'react-native';
import { createDrawerNavigator,createAppContainer } from 'react-navigation'
import { Button,Container,Header,Left,Right,Icon,Text } from 'native-base';

class MyHomeScreen extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <Container>
        <Header>
          <Left style={{ flexDirection: 'row'}}>
           <Icon onPress={() => this.props.navigation.openDrawer()} name="md-menu" style={{ color: 'white', marginRight: 15 }} />
          </Left>
          <Right>
           <Icon name="md-cart" style={{ color: 'white' }} />
          </Right>
        </Header>
       <View style={{ marginTop:100,marginLeft:100}}>
         <Button onPress={() => this.props.navigation.navigate('Notifications')} >
           <Text>Go to notifications</Text>
         </Button>
        </View>
       </Container>
     );
   }
 }// End of MyHomeScreen class

class MyNotificationsScreen extends React.Component {
   render() {
     return (
       <View style={{ marginTop:100,marginLeft:100}}>
         <Button onPress={() => this.props.navigation.goBack()} >
           <Text>Go back home</Text>
         </Button>
       </View>
     );
    }
}//End of MyNotificationsScreen class

const MyDrawerNavigator = createDrawerNavigator({
   Home:{ 
      screen: MyHomeScreen,
   },
   Notifications: {
      screen: MyNotificationsScreen,
   },
 });
 
const MyApp = createAppContainer(MyDrawerNavigator);

class App extends React.Component{
    render(){
      return(
        <Container>
          <MyApp >
            </MyApp >
        </Container>
      );
    }
}//End of App class

export default App;

In above code of App.js file we have used component of native base ,and therefore we will install native base as follow :

Install NativeBase

npm install native-base --save

Install Peer Dependencies

react-native link

Explaination of App.js :

In this file App.js, we have define three class namely as follow:

MyHomeScreen
MyNotificationsScreen
App

and two constants as follow:

MyDrawerNavigator
MyApp

We are creating two screen with the help of two class MyHomeScreen and MyNotificationsScreen

class MyHomeScreen :

class MyHomeScreen extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <Container>
       <Header>
        <Left style={{ flexDirection: 'row' }}>
         <Icon onPress={() => this.props.navigation.openDrawer()} name="md-menu" style={{ color: 'white', marginRight: 15 }} />
        </Left>
        <Right>
         <Icon name="md-cart" style={{ color: 'white' }} />
        </Right>
       </Header>
       <View style={{ marginTop:100,marginLeft:100}}>
        <Button onPress={() => this.props.navigation.navigate('Notifications')} >
         <Text>Go to notifications</Text>
        </Button>
       </View>
      </Container>
    );
  }
}// End of MyHomeScreen class

Explaination of MyHomeScreen class :

In this class we are creating header of screen ,on left side of header we are creating Icon of “md-menu”,and onPress of this Icon we have open the drawer with the help of this code :

onPress={() => this.props.navigation.openDrawer()}

In this home screen one button is also given ,on press of this button MyNotificationsScreen is called with following code :

onPress={() => this.props.navigation.navigate('Notifications')}

class MyNotificationsScreen :

class MyNotificationsScreen extends React.Component {
  render() {
   return (
     <View style={{ marginTop:100,marginLeft:100}}>
      <Button onPress={() => this.props.navigation.goBack()} >
       <Text>Go back home</Text>
      </Button>
     </View>
   );
  }
}//End of MyNotificationsScreen class

Explaination of MyNotificationsScreen class :

In this class we are creating a button ,and on press of this button we are going back to home screen from this notification screen ,for this we are using following code:

onPress={() => this.props.navigation.goBack()}

Constant MyDrawerNavigator :

const MyDrawerNavigator = createDrawerNavigator({
   Home: {
      screen: MyHomeScreen,
   },
   Notifications: {
      screen: MyNotificationsScreen,
   },
});

Constant MyApp :

const MyApp = createAppContainer(MyDrawerNavigator);

Class App :

class App extends React.Component{
  render(){
    return(
      <Container>
        <MyApp />
      </Container>
    );
  }
}

Explaination of App class:

In this class we are using <MyApp /> tag .

When you will run the above code, following output will come

On Left side of Header we are having menu ,on press of this drawer will be open as follow:

Create Heat Map – IGIS Map Tool

Using Heat map is very effective way of visualizing points data. To create Heat map, first of all you must know what is heat map. When map visual of a location data is so dense and tightly packed that it does not make much sense a heat map is used. Heat maps are ordinarily used when mapping “points”. In this article we are providing pictorial tutorial of Create Heat Map using IGIS Map Tool

To create Heat map with IGIS Map Tool, you also need to look over the IGIS Map Tool.

Create Heat Map – IGIS Map Tool

Heat Map allows user to display the density of the geographic points in a map. Heat map uses geographic points as a gradient color layer to style the map.

To create Heat Map with IGIS Map Tool you need to follow some steps as follows:

Go To IGIS Map Tool and login to your account or register if you are new user with name, email id, Organization name and role in examination.
Click on Create New Map and fill the tittle of map with its description.
Next screen will be redirected to the canvas where you can create, upload or use sample data for your heat map creation.
Upload a layer from data set.

Once the map is uploaded click on publish layer.
Select style layer by right click on the layer in side bar.

Now click on the Heat map section to create Heat map.

The distance between points for clustering is the merge radius here. The greater the number of points that fall within the radius, the greater the intensity of the heat map. While a radius set too small will generate isolated spots; a radius set to large will show no detail.
Now fill the opacity in the fill section to set the transparency of the heat map layer between 100% and 0%.

Heat map use red color to show high density of points and blue color for the low density of point area.

Below is the heat map of disaster management using sample data.

Use of Heat Map

This type of identification and visualization is useful for visualizing density of the geographic points and also used for business analysis and demographics mapping.

Heat Map serves in following industries:

Insurance
Healthcare
Disaster management
Real Estate
Surveying
Banking etc.

For example, Heat Map can be used by Disaster Management Firm. As when a DM needs to calculate the flood disaster data it uses the heat map.

While data and business analysis is the main reason to Create Heat Map, but it can also helps in understanding and comparing the data easily. It is also very common practice to use the Heat Map in Disaster and Risk management.

I hope this may help you in develop and Create Heat map with IGIS Map Tool. So if you find any problem in creating one such example do let us know by commenting below.
