The latter seemed better even it bothered me I couldn’t distribute it in my ...

This undoubtedly represents an important step and recognition to the degree of growth that has taken the geospatial field in the Hispanic readers’ world. Some of the contents are translations of English/French version but also offer own material related to the ...

The purpose of this tool, which is a complement to Bentley Map, is the entire project ...

A few days ago I talked about the efforts on LIDAR data management, so today I pass a formal statement that has published DIELMO 3D S.L. DielmoOpenLiDAR: Free new software for the management of LIDAR data For more than 5 years DIELMO 3D S.L. has been working on developing software for processing LIDAR data, using it internally for the production ...

The Free Software Foundation (FSF) was created in 1985 with the intention of promoting the use, development and protection of non-proprietary software under the trading scheme. Via Gigabriones I heard that the FSF announced eleven priority projects which include two for geospatial: A replacement for Google Earth There are several attempts of virtual globes in proprietary format such as Titan ...

For All of them that can’t move the figure without thinking in topological control…   Congratulations!

This is a summary of the post with the most registered comments; I have selected those who reach at least 10 comments. About natural wonders (156), perhaps what happens to these posts is that they are of general interest and everyone wakes up in the patriotism’s spine. Although there have been added issues to the subject only for territorial interest ...

It’s now available the eighth edition of the Geoinformatics journal, which GIS approach shines to a simply “spectacular” egeomate level, although it strikes us that this time there is more than one item with an approach based on the Spanish-speaking countries experiences. 1. GvSIG. One of these articles with a Hispanic focus is about the gvSIG project, we believe it’s ...

TRANSLATION NOTES: Please read some comments at the end of this post. It is painful to see interesting projects expressing shock (*), and accepting that have to get out… just a few days ago I did mention of the weakness of projects not associated with an aggressive plan of marketing that gives them sustainability. It is not exactly the MapBuilder ...

I expect a great apology for the expletive that could be offensive in some countries, but shit is the waste that Microsoft is doing with a powerful tool which acquired 5 months ago from Caligari. And why it seems that Microsoft shits walks in TrueSpace? Because it suggests a simple intention to compete against Google’s Sketchup! which is called “sketchi“, ...

Free GIS Software Although this topic is new on my blog, the experience I’m getting with training and implementation of gvSIG is leaving ...
