Given that I have a set of latitiude and longitude in degrees, how can i visualise it in an interactive map?

My latitude and and longitude coordinates in degrees are as follows:

Lat=

   12.6600
   10.9106
   10.2050
    8.9828
    8.5950
    7.5167
    6.7567
    6.5033

Long=

   83.5567
   87.1264
   88.5300
   91.1714
   91.9967
   94.4167
   95.9767
   96.4917

i was checking the MAPPING interactive map. What is the simplest way to plot the track for each points?

You'll have to make your question more specific. What exactly do you want to do?

[Geoff Hayes]

The fourth step from Creating an Interactive Map seems to suggest that you can use geoshow to plot a set of points.

Thanks for your reply.

For instance,

lat = [ 43  43  41  38];
lon = [116 120 126 128];
Alttiude=[10000 5000 2000 1000]

I want to have a 3d visualisation overlayed on the world map!

Any clue how to do it?

If you are looking to plot the points or connect them with a line and have R2013b or newer, you can use the wmmarker and wmline functions.

 wmmarker(Lat,Long);
 wmline(Lat,Long)

These will plot your data on a webmap and you can choose from several base layers to provide context.

If you are trying to create a track between the points, then take a look at the example on the reference page for the function track.

For 3d visualization on a map, any clue? For instance,

lat = [ 43  43  41  38];
lon = [116 120 126 128];
Alttiude=[10000 5000 2000 1000]

Here's a simple way to view your data on a 3d globe that you can rotate in MATLAB.

% Set up the map axes
figure
axesm('globe','geoid',wgs84Ellipsoid)

% Use topo data to create a background
load topo
meshm(topo, topolegend, size(topo)); 
demcmap(topo);

% Plot your track
plot3m(lat,lon,alt,'r-')

I tried bit cannot view in 3d. Can you please give me a screenshot?

[Amy Haskins]

You might need to add view(3) to get into a 3D view and then rotate by using the Rotate 3D button or selecting Rotate 3D from the tools drop down.
