Quantum GIS (QGIS) is a user friendly Open Source Geographic Information System (GIS) that runs on Linux, Unix, Mac OSX, and Windows. QGIS supports vector, raster, and database formats. QGIS is licensed under the GNU General Public License. QGIS lets you browse and create map data on your computer. It supports many common spatial data formats (e.g. ESRI ShapeFile, geotiff). This page coordinates activities of the QGIS project related to distribution on the Ubuntu Gnu/Linux Distro. For ubuntu packages please refer to the PPA, which has the released versions of Quantum GIS for several distributions.

OpenStreetMap. OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. Two major driving forces behind the establishment and growth of OSM have been restrictions on use or availability of map information across much of the world and the advent of inexpensive portable satellite navigation devices.[4] Created by Steve Coast in the UK in 2004, it was inspired by the success of Wikipedia[5] and the preponderance of proprietary map data in the UK and elsewhere.[6] Since then, it has grown to over 1.6 million registered users,[7] who can collect data using manual survey, GPS devices, aerial photography, and other free sources.
This crowdsourced data is then made available under the Open Database License. The site is supported by the OpenStreetMap Foundation, a non-profit organization registered in England. History[edit] Steve Coast founded the project in 2004, initially focusing on mapping the United Kingdom. State of the Map[edit] Map production[edit] Contributors[edit] OpenStreetMap.

Guest blogger Adam DuVander is the author of “Map Scripting 101,” an example-driven guide to building interactive maps on multiple platforms. He also serves as executive editor of ProgrammableWeb. Maps took over the web in mid-2005, shortly after the first Where 2.0 conference.
They quickly moved from fancy feature to necessary element of any site that contained even a trace of geographic content. Today we’re amidst another location and mapping revolution, with mobile making its impact on the web. Though the map itself continues to be important, other geographic data is having a larger impact. The old guard Google had the first mapping API and continues to keep its lead by adding useful new features.
Another sign of mobile’s influence on mobile appears in how Google is making some of its newest services available. Yahoo has done little to expand its mapping platform in recent years, though it is almost as old as Google’s. The newcomers Where have all the hackers gone? Mapping the future.
