Abstract:

This Software Requirements Specifications SRS establishes the engineering and qualification requirements for the Geographic Mapping CSCI CSCI-4. The Geographic Mapping CSCI enables the MAGIC user to create, edit, and display both vector and raster based maps with an optical ability to overlay the users data on a Unix-based workstation. The DeLorme Mapping System DMS is used to provide the map data and the overwhelming bulk of functionality for this CSCI with MAGIC providing a user friendly graphical user interface GUI to the underlying commercial off the shelf COTS package. Map data is retrieved and displayed in an average of 6 seconds from large digital databases. Once retrieved, any location in the world can be specified within 1 meter and all geographic data in the system may be located precisely in terms of its latitude and longitude or Universal Transverse Mercator UTM position.
