- EPSG - OGP Surveying and Positioning Committee Geodetic Parameter Dataset
- GeoTools - The Open Source Java GIS Toolkit.
- HidroSIG - a GIS with special tools that will allow you to make estimations and analysis of hydrological, climatic and geomorphological variables.
- JGrass - open source GIS based on the GIS framework of uDig (that is why the intro looks so similar to that of uDig). JGrass tries to exploit in its engine the power of GRASS.
- MapGuide - web-based platform for developing and deployment web mapping applications and geospatial web services.
- Navit - Navit is a car navigation system with routing engine.
- OpenEV - software library and application for viewing and analysing raster and vector geospatial data.
