geoglobe in Mapping Toolbox
14 views (last 30 days)

I'm getting started with the Mapping Toolbox and found sample code to try but get an error:
uif = uifigure;
geoglobe(uif)
g = findall(groot,'Type','globe');
Undefined function or variable 'geoglobe'.
The system does not find the function 'geoglobe' (yes, I do have the Mapping toolbox installed). One tip suggested running this code to see if my system has hardware graphics support:
fig = uifigure;
ax = axes(fig);
info = rendererinfo(ax);
info.GraphicsRenderer
ans =
'WebGL'
The result seems to indicate that I do have the hardware required. Suggestions?

geoglobe was introduced in R2020a. Could you check your MATLAB version?

geoplot is available from R2018b.
For example, you can change the basemap of geoplot to satellite which is higher resolution.
latSeattle = 47.62;
lonSeattle = -122.33;
latAnchorage = 61.20;
lonAnchorage = -149.9;
gp = geoplot( [latSeattle latAnchorage],[lonSeattle lonAnchorage],'g-*');
gx = gca;
gx.Basemap = 'satellite'; % Available from R2019b
geolimits([45 62],[-149 -123])
You have Mapping Toolbox, you can add your custom using addCustomBasemap function. The help page contains how to change the basemap to OpenStreetMap and USGS National maps.

My apologies. "satellite" option of geoplot is available from R2019b.
Another way is using webmap and wmline.
latSeattle = 47.62;
lonSeattle = -122.33;
latAnchorage = 61.20;
lonAnchorage = -149.9;
webmap('World Imagery')
wmline( [latSeattle latAnchorage],[lonSeattle lonAnchorage]);
This works well in R2019a, too.
