I have the following suggestions regarding the OpenGIS support in phpMyAdmin.
Problem: There is no proper representation of spatial data. The current version shows the bytes occupied by the spatial data value. Suggestion: A visual representation of data will be more apt or at least
a
representation to show which type of geometry class it is has to be
there.
Problem: The user cannot edit the fields of spatial data. Raw data is displayed. Suggestion: A similar interface mentioned above can be used to edit the value of a spatial field. The corresponding visual representation can be displayed if required.
There was also suggestion to allow use of maps like openstreetmap.org or google maps for displaying/editing the data.
I feel a simple graphical editor for manipulating spatial data will be more appropriate. Not all data may correspond to real world geography. Additionally, the data can be linked to OSM if user wishes to manipulate it that way. Is there any license issue with using google maps?
Hi,
A good compromise would be to link to OSM when a spacial reference id is present and visualize GIS data in simple graphical editor otherwise.
