How can I retrieve the coordinate from excel and plot the points according to the map? - MATLAB


I'm currently working on map routing system for pedestrian pathway and not sure does anyone did this before. But I have collected various way-points coordinates of the path using google earth.

Below data are the coordinates points for the pathway which is save it on Excel and import to Matlab

What I want

Is it possible to join these points together (55 115 56) (49 116 65) (37 117 76) (30 118 80) As shown in the image above?


Solution

  • I have figure out the answer for my question and would like to benefit the community for what I have come out with. According @Dan code plot(M(:,2), M(:,3); can plot the points out but the orientation of the graph is way off. Therefore I use waypoints function to make it better.

    Anyway, organize your excel data by leaving a cell gap when you want to insert a new line. I have paste the excel data for you to get a clearer picture.

    Coding


    M = xlsread('excel.xlsx');
    waypoints =[M(:,2), M(:,3)];
    [lttrk,lntrk] = track('rh',waypoints,'degrees');
    figure(),geoshow(lttrk,lntrk,'DisplayType','line', 'color','r');
