Hi everybody

I want to have some mobile and dynamic points in a GIS software (Arc
GIS is preferable) in order to simulate pedestrian movment but I can
not find how the location of points can alter by time.
I appriciate any commetn you may have.

Hi,
have you tried the GPS toolbar?

Otherwise, it would be straightforward to program ArcGis so it updates
its display every X seconds. At each update, remove the current point(s)
and add a new point a the correct location. You will either have to loop
through all your points (easy), or to create the simulated time, and to
look in your database the location of the point at this time!

Hi Jean
Many thanks for your comment

the problem is:
1- I want to have many points and I want to have a automated sequence
movment based on a predefined table of X and Y. So is it possible to
have some dynamic points which their movments are dependent to a table
of X and Y for each point?
