I’m newbie in map (or spatial data?) technology.
For starting point, I want to know the terms, what it is, how it work. I also want to kno how tostore map data(lat, long, etc).
Maybe, some simple (for newbie) tutorial and down to earth book could help, as I don’t know anything about it.
Another suggestion and tips/trick when working with maps also welcome.
I think the explanations on kowoma.de will help you. I have used it in a lecture called “Mobile Computing” and it explains the basics very well.
Part of it is available in English, too (especially the introduction to GPS and lat/longitude). Other important topics like map projections and reference systems are not (yet?) translated (see German version here).
