How to plot latitude and longitude on the shape-file i used in MATLAB ?

lat = [21.1658 21.1655 21.16672 21.16441 21.15638 21.17103 21.17166 21.14175 21.17098 21.17521 21.16423 21.17525 21.16205]; lon = [72.7939 72.7937 72.79333 72.77744 72.77798 72.78658 72.78956 72.75316 72.77758 72.80426 72.79398 72.78943 72.75631]; These are the lats and longs I want to plot. much needed help would be appreciated Thank you in advance.

Have you tried geoshow(lat,lon)

[Simran Sandhu]

nope,, i will give it a try.. Thank you ..

[jonas]

Its in the mapping toolbox

[Simran Sandhu]

yes i got that but the marker is so small and its kind of over-lapping with other points plotted.

[jonas]

You can can adjust markersize just like in a normal plot :)

[Simran Sandhu]

plotm(21.16,72.78, '*r', 'MarkerSize', 10, 'MarkerFaceColor', 'r');

This is what am tryin but its not happening

[Simran Sandhu]

Error using gcm (line 26) Not a map axes.

Error in nextmap (line 25) gcm; % Will error if gca is not a valid map axes

Error in nextmap (line 44) nextmap

Error in plotm (line 60) nextmap(varargin)

Error in tryone (line 10) plotm(21.1658,72.7939, '*r', 'MarkerSize', 10, 'MarkerFaceColor', 'r');

[Simran Sandhu]

and if i am using plot(21.1655,72.7937, 'og', 'MarkerSize', 10, 'MarkerFaceColor', 'g');

Then the map is not being displayed..

Before I did this thing using plot_google_map but now it is showing API issue

Why not post your code? Instead of giving information bit by bit ? Saves time.

[Simran Sandhu]

yeah thank you,, help would be appreciated.

lat = [21.1658 21.1655 21.16672 21.16441 21.15638 21.17103 21.17166 21.14175 21.17098 21.17521 21.16423 21.17525 21.16205]; lon = [72.7939 72.7937 72.79333 72.77744 72.77798 72.78658 72.78956 72.75316 72.77758 72.80426 72.79398 72.78943 72.75631]; plot(lon, lat, '.b', 'MarkerSize', 15); grid on plot_google_map('MapScale', 1)

This was the code I was using originally but now its showing API key error

[Simran Sandhu]

clc; clear all; close all; a = shaperead('Surat_dist.shp', 'UseGeoCoords', true); geoshow(a, 'FaceColor', [1 1 1]); S = shaperead('Surat_dist.shp'); mapshow(S); grid on geoshow(S) hold on geoshow(21.1658,72.7939) plotm(21.16,72.78, '*r', 'MarkerSize', 10, 'MarkerFaceColor', 'r'); hold on; plotm(19.03, 72.91, 'og', 'MarkerSize', 10, 'MarkerFaceColor', 'g'); hold on; plotm(17.39, 78.31, 'db', 'MarkerSize', 10, 'MarkerFaceColor', 'b'); hold on;

[Simran Sandhu]

clc; clear all; close all; title('Location of BTS near SVNIT ') a = shaperead('Surat_dist.shp', 'UseGeoCoords', true); geoshow(a, 'FaceColor', [1 1 1]); S = shaperead('Surat_dist.shp'); mapshow(S); grid on geoshow(S) hold on geoshow(21.1658,72.7939) hold on; geoshow(21.16205,72.75631) hold on geoshow(21.17525,72.78943)

The marker size is so small

[jonas]

ugh... use the "{} Code" button to format your text.

h=geoshow([10 11 5],[10 11 5],'displaytype','multipoint','markersize',10)

[Simran Sandhu]

Thank you so much for your help :)

[jonas]

My pleasure!
