Geographic Information System

GIS project is initiative to package GIS related technologies and make it the best distribution for Fedora and EPEL platforms.

Fedora GIS activists hang out in #fedora-gis channel.

gpsdrive - A GPS based navigation tool
gpsman - a graphical manager of GPS data that makes possible the preparation, inspection and edition of GPS data in a friendly environment.
GRASS - Geographic Resources Analysis Support System
gypsy - A GPS multiplexing daemon
libgarmin - C library to parse and use Garmin image files
libgeotiff - GeoTIFF format library
MapBender- Geospatial portal for OGC OWS architectures
mapnik- Above all Mapnik is about making beautiful maps

OGDI - Open Geographic Datastore Interface
OpenLayers - A JavaScript library for displaying map data
PostGIS - PostGIS adds support for geographic objects in PostgreSQL
PROJ.4 - Cartographic Projections Library
QGIS - Quantum GIS (QGIS) is a user friendly Open Source Geographic Information System
QLandkarteGT - GPS device mapping tool
qtgpsc - A client for the gpsd GPS server
tangoGPS - a lightweight and fast mapping application
tinyows - WFS-T and FE implementation server
viking - GTK2-based GPS data editor and viewer

garmintools - Communication tools for Garmin devices
~~libproj4~~ - It was decided not to use/package this library.
Navit - car navigation system with routing engine.
ossim - High performance software system for remote sensing, image processing , geographical information systems and photogrammetry.
JOSM - editor for OpenStreetMap.

BeeGIS - opensource tool for Digital Field Mapping. Seems that they didn't try to build it for Linux (although its based upon JGrass/uDig/Eclipse).
EPSG - OGP Surveying and Positioning Committee Geodetic Parameter Dataset
Generate and distribute GPS position fixes from attached GPS devices
GeoTools - The Open Source Java GIS Toolkit.
GPStk - Open source library and suite of applications (paused with packaging FabianAffolter)
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.
libnav - LibNav is an algorithm library for navigation and positioning. (started with packaging FabianAffolter, I thinks that libnav depends on gpstk)
MapGuide - web-based platform for developing and deployment web mapping applications and geospatial web services.
OpenEV - software library and application for viewing and analysing raster and vector geospatial data.
Thuban - Interactive Geographic Data Viewer.
uDig - open source (LGPL) desktop application framework, built with Eclipse Rich Client (RCP) technology.
GPX Viewer - GPX Viewer is a simple program to visualize a gpx file. It uses libchamplain and cairo for the plot. (started with packaging FabianAffolter)
