Reimagination - Reimagining, exploring and celebrating the changes in infrastructure, politics and culture that will help us live in harmony with each other and the earth now and in the future.
Comprehensive collection of GIS software program applications and resources that is updated
frequently. Most are either freeware or open-source. They are organized in
alphabetical order.
DraconesPH is a public health surveillance application. It is an example of a complete application that can be built using the Dracones framework components. The development of the initial version was funded in part by GeoConnections, and is currently running at the Direction de sante publique de Montreal (Montreal Public Health), where it serves as an add-on for the visual exploration and analysis of their massive, non-spatially enabled datasets.
edbs2wkt -
converting the GIS-Format EDBS to Spatial-Database PostGIS and other
using the Well Known Text-Interface. EDBS is a German Fileformat from
ALK (Automatisierte Liegenschaftskarte).
edbsilon is a converter
for data coming in EDBS or BZSN. After reading the EDBS- resp.
BZSN-files the converter exports into various format, such as Oracle,
PostGIS, ArcGIS Shapefiles and many others.
EPANET - Software That Models the Hydraulic and Water Quality Behavior of Water Distribution Piping Systems.
Erdas Titan 3D Visualization Client - In ERDAS TITAN Client 2010, users may connect to ERDAS APOLLO catalogs via the TITAN Viewer to execute geoprocesses and visualize results in a 3D virtual globe. Descriptive metadata search results from ERDAS APOLLO catalogs are now also available in an easy-to-read display pane. Search and discovery of data in an APOLLO catalog is much faster, due to integration of REST/JSON API.
FGS Linux Installer is a self-extracting file that will install MapServer with PHP/MapScript and all of their dependencies on your Linux system. It provides a stand-alone environment with all the required software (incl. Apache and PHP) to run PHP/MapScript webmapping applications.
FlightGear is an open-source, multi-platform, cooperative flight simulator development project. Source code for the entire project is available and licensed under the GNU General Public License. This is not GIS software but may be of interest to some. Atlas creates free charts of the world for FlightGear.
Flowmap is a software package dedicated to analyzing and displaying interaction or flow data. This
type of data is special in the sense that there are two different geographic locations connected to each data item: An origin location
where the flow starts and an destination location where the flow ends. The flow data itself can be people (e.g. commuters, shoppers, hospital
visitors), goods, usage of agricultural services or telecommunication and so on.
Fusion is a web-mapping application development framework for MapGuide OS and MapServer built primarily in JavaScript.
FWTools is a set of Open Source GIS binaries for Windows (win32) and Linux (x86 32bit) systems produced by me, Frank Warmerdam (ie. FW). The kits are intended to be easy for end users to install and get going with. No fudzing with building from source, or having to collect lots of interrelated packages.
gen2shp is a simple C-Progam which can read the format required by the ESRI ArcInfo generate command.
Gen2shp - Implemented in Avenue, can be directly incorporated into AV projects. Converts 2D or 3D ASCII data from one or more generate format text files to one or more (multi-part) shapefiles. Available as Extension or just Scripts.
Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) is a collection of about 60 UNIX tools that allow users to manipulate (x,y) and (x,y,z) data sets (including filtering, trend fitting, gridding, projecting, etc.) and produce Encapsulated PostScript File (EPS) illustrations ranging from simple x-y plots through contour maps to artificially illuminated surfaces and 3-D perspective views in black and white, gray tone, hachure patterns, and 24-bit color. GMT supports 30 common map projections plus linear, log and power scaling, and comes with support data such as coastlines, rivers, and political boundaries.
GEO/Garnix free coordinate conversion and GPS communication tools.
Geocoding - Map Channels offers free single address and batch geocoding.
Geodetic software developed by the National Geodetic Survey (NCS). Free downloads - dozens of programs.
Geographic Foundation Class (GFC)Library is a set of C++ classes defining basic geographic data types, including points, lines, rectangles, circles, polylines, rings, complex polygons, rasters, and other atomic data types such as integer, real, varchar. GFC also features abstractions of timestamps and time series which are useful in capturing the dynamics of spatiotemporal data.
Geopublisher Software allows you to quickly create digital multimedia atlases and publish them. Visit the demo atlases page to take a look at some publically available atlases or check out the features list to get an impression about the possibilities.
GeoServer - GeoServer is an Open Source server that connects your information to the Geospatial Web. You can publish and edit data using open standards. Your information is made available in a large variety of formats as maps/images or actual geospatial data.
Geospatial Explorer has been written to enable geologists, environmental scientists, and engineers to apply innovative science and technology to enhance and expedite the reduction of risk to human health and the environment. Geospatial Explorer permits the user to identify, understand, and solve complex environmental problems better, faster, and cheaper.
Geographic Translator (GEOTRANS) is an application program which allows users to easily convert geographic coordinates among a wide variety of coordinate systems, map projections, and datums. GEOTRANS runs in both Microsoft Windows (95/98/NT) and UNIX Motif environments.
geos (Geometry Engine Open Source (GEOS)) is a C++ port of the Java Topology Suite (JTS). As such, it aims to contain the complete functionality of JTS in C++. This includes all the OpenGIS "Simple Features for SQL" spatial predicate functions and spatial operators, as well as specific JTS topology functions such as IsValid().
GeoTools is Java code library which provides standards compliant methods for the manipulation of geospatial data, for example to implement Geographic Information Systems. The GeoTools library implements OGC specifications as they are developed, in close collaboration with the GeoAPI and GeoWidgets projects.
