| drawmap | 2.5 | GPL | A cartography package that draws maps of the USA | Drawmap is a cartography package that draws maps of the USA using data from the USGS. |
| g3DGMV | 0.60 | GPL | 3D digital map viewer for GNOME | The g3DGMV program was designed as a free viewer for Digital Elevation Model (DEM ) and Digital Line Graphs (DLG ) maps. Both of these formats are available from various locations on the web. These maps are rendered by g3DGMV as 3D images that can be manipulated by the user and view from different angles. In addition g3DGMV can read maps that have been saved as bitmaps (gif ,png, jpeg ,xpm). Because these formats do not contain elevation information they are viewable only in 2D mode. The program contains many utilitys that enable the user to add his/her own location information to these maps. These tools can be used to mark a favorite camp site or highlight the best route to some location. |
| gdal | 1.1.9 | MIT | The Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL) | The Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL) is a unifying C/C++ API for accessing raster geospatial data, and currently includes formats like GeoTIFF, Erdas Imagine, Arc/Info Binary, CEOS, DTED, GXF, and SDTS. It is intended to provide efficient access, suitable for use in viewer applications, and also attempts to preserve coordinate systems and metadata. Python, C, and C++ interfaces are available. |
| gdal-python | 1.1.9 | MIT | The Python bindings for the GDAL library | The Python bindings for the GDAL library |
| geotiff | 1.1.4 | Public Domain | Cartographic software | This library is designed to permit the extraction and parsing of the "GeoTIFF" Key directories, as well as definition and installation of GeoTIFF keys in new files. For more information about GeoTIFF specifications, projection codes and use, see the WWW web page at: http://www.remotesensing.com/geotiff/geotiff.html or at: http://www.geotiff.org/ |
| grass | 5.0.3 | GPL | Geographic Resources Analysis Support System | GRASS (Geographic Resources Analysis Support System) is a raster-based GIS, vector GIS, image processing system, graphics production system, data management system, and spatial modeling system. A graphical user interface for X-Windows is provided. |
| kflog | 2.1.0 | GPL | Soaring-pilot-software for KDE | KFLog is used to display, analyze and evaluate flights logged with a gps-logger. It displays the flight in a map. KFLog supports a large free vector-map of the whole, including terrain-data. The map is not part of this package. You can download the map from the KFLog-website at http://maproom.kflog.org/ or enable an automatic map download. |

| libgdal0-devel | 1.1.9 | MIT | Development files for using the GDAL library | Development files for using the GDAL library |
| libgrass5_0 | 1.0.0 | GPL | Standalone GRASS Database Access Library | The libgrass package consists of the majority of the GRASS libgis, and libdatetime library build as a standalone shared library suitable for use by non-GRASS applications wishing to read and write GRASS databases. Some additional functions have been added to simplify library initialization and data access by non-GRASS applications. While libgrass is currently only suitable for accessing GRASS raster cells, and associated support files, it is hoped that future revisions will include support for vector files, and other data elements stored within the GRASS database. |
| libgrass5_0-devel | 1.0.0 | GPL | Standalone GRASS Database Access Library | The libgrass package consists of the majority of the GRASS libgis, and libdatetime library build as a standalone shared library suitable for use by non-GRASS applications wishing to read and write GRASS databases. Some additional functions have been added to simplify library initialization and data access by non-GRASS applications. While libgrass is currently only suitable for accessing GRASS raster cells, and associated support files, it is hoped that future revisions will include support for vector files, and other data elements stored within the GRASS database. |

KFLog supports a large free vector-map of the whole, including terrain-data. The map is not part of this package. You can download the map from the KFLog-website at http://maproom.kflog.org/ or enable an automatic map download. This package contains the libraries used by KFlog to access recording devices. |
| mapserver | 4.0 | GPL | Web-based Map Server | MapServer is an OpenSource development environment for building spatially enabled Internet applications. The software builds upon other popular OpenSource or freeware systems like Shapelib, FreeType, Proj.4, libTIFF, Perl and others. The MapServer CGI application provides a significant number of "out-of-the-box" features. Here's a sampling: * vector formats supported: ESRI shapefiles, simple embedded features, ESRI ArcSDE (alpha release) * raster formats supported (8-bit only): TIFF/GeoTIFF, GIF, PNG, ERDAS, JPEG and EPPL7 * quadtree spatial indexing for shapefiles * fully customizable, template driven output * feature selection by item/value, point, area or another feature * TrueType font support * support for tiled raster and vector data (display only) * automatic legend and scalebar building * scale dependent feature drawing and application execution * thematic map building using logical or regular expression based classes * feature labeling including label collision mediation * on-the-fly configuration via URLs * on-the-fly projection MapServer is not a full-featured GIS system, nor does it aspire to be. It does, however, provide enough core functionality to support a wide variety of web applications. Beyond browsing GIS data, MapServer allows you create "geographic image maps", that is, maps that can direct users to content. |
| mapserver-demo | 3.5 | GPL | Demo Data for Mapserver | MapServer is an OpenSource development environment for building spatially enabled Internet applications. The software builds upon other popular OpenSource or freeware systems like Shapelib, FreeType, Proj.4, libTIFF, Perl and others. This package provides the Mapserver demo data, and should be accessible as http://localhost/mapserver/itasca on the machine it is installed on. |
| proj | 4.4.7 | MIT | Cartographic projection software | Cartographic projection software and libraries. |
| spearfish | 1.0 | GPL | The Spearfish sample GIS data set | SPEARFISH data set (9.7MB size) - contains raster, vector and point data of South Dakota [fixed some roads vector types and soils topology 2/2003]. (UTM projection, Clarke66 ellipsoid, NAD27 conus) |
| spearfish-grass | 1.0 | GPL | Grass support for the Spearfish sample GIS data set | This package allows the user to easily access the Spearfish data set from the Grass GIS. Running grass5-spearfish will create a grassdata/spearfish directory in the users home directory, create a link the data set, and start Grass with the data set. This arrangement allows the user to make use of the data set without copying the entire data set. |
| spearfish-mapserver | 1.0 | GPL | Mapserver support for the Spearfish sample GIS data set | This package contains the files to support the use of the Spearfish data set from Mapserver. The mapserver should be accessible on the local machine with the url: http://localhost/mapserver/spearfish |
Linux, along with Solaris, also came out ahead of Windows in terms of administration costs, despite the fact that it’s less expensive to hire Windows system administrators. The average Windows administrator in the study earned [USD]$68,500 a year, while Linux sys admins took home [USD]$71,400, and those with Solaris skills were paid [USD]$85,844. The Windows technicians, however, only managed an average of 10 machines each, while Linux or Solaris admins can generally handle several times that. — CIO Update, summarising a Robert Frances Group report
