Summary
Osgeo: geodata viewers and editors
packages concerning geodata viewers and editors
OSGEO Desktop apps part 2
Debian packages which are helpful to view or edit geodata.
FIXME: Idea from
https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/browser/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/bin/install_icons_and_menus.sh#L34
but needs enhancement
The list to the right includes various software projects which are of some interest to the Debian GIS Project. Currently, only a few of them are available as Debian packages. It is our goal, however, to include all software in Debian GIS which can sensibly add to a high quality Debian Pure Blend.
For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:
If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for Debian GIS
to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to
send a description of that project to the Debian GIS mailing list

Map-based navigation system that displays the current
position provided by a GPS receiver on a zoomable map.
Maps can be downloaded from different map providers or
rendered on-the-fly using the OpenStreetMap dataset.
Route planning, optionally with spoken directions,
is supported through waypoints.

GpsPrune is an application for viewing, editing and converting coordinate
data from GPS systems. It's a tool for preparing GPS data before you go on a
trip, and for playing with your collected GPS data after you get home again.
It can load data from arbitrary text-based formats (for example, any
tab-separated or comma-separated file) or XML, or directly from a GPS
receiver. It can display the data (as map view using OpenStreetMap
images and as altitude profile), edit this data (for example delete
points and ranges, sort waypoints, compress tracks), and save the data
(in various text-based formats). It can also export data as a GPX
file, or as KML/KMZ for import into Google Earth, or send it to a GPS
receiver.
Some example uses of GpsPrune include cleaning up tracks by deleting
wayward points - either recorded by error or by unintended detours. It
can also be used to compare and combine tracks, convert to and from
various formats, compress tracks, export data to Google Earth, or to
analyse data to calculate distances, altitudes and so on.
Furthermore, GpsPrune is able to display the tracks in 3d format and
lets you spin the model round to look at it from various directions.
You can also export the model in POV format so that you can render a
nice picture using Povray. You can also create charts of altitudes or
speeds. It can also load Jpegs and read their coordinates from the
EXIF tags, and export thumbnails of these photos to Kmz format so that
they appear as popups in Google Earth. If your photos don't have
coordinates yet, GpsPrune can be used to connect them (either manually or
automatically using the photo timestamps) to data points, and write
these coordinates into the EXIF tags.

JOSM is an editor for OpenStreetMap (OSM) written in Java.
The current version supports stand alone GPX tracks, GPX track data
from OSM database and existing nodes, line segments and metadata tags
from the OSM database.
OpenStreetMap is a project aimed squarely at creating and providing
free geographic data such as street maps to anyone who wants them.
The project was started because most maps you think of as free actually
have legal or technical restrictions on their use, holding back people
from using them in creative, productive or unexpected ways.

Marble is a generic geographical map widget and framework for KDE
applications. The Marble widget shows the earth as a sphere but does not
require hardware acceleration. A minimal set of geographical data is
included, so it can be used without an internet connection.
This package is part of the KDE education module.

Viking aims to be easy to use, yet powerful in accomplishing a wide
variety of GPS related tasks. It uses a hierarchical layering system
to organize GPS data, maps, and other layer types with spatial data,
such as coordinate lines.
Some of the things you can use Viking for are:
- Uploading and downloading waypoints, tracks to/from GPS.
- Realtime GPS tracking and track recording.
- Import and export of gpx files.
- Preparing tracks and waypoints for trips using maps from services
such as OpenStreetmap and Terraserver. You only need to upload the data
to your GPS before you leave. The maps together with your tracks
and waypoints can also be printed and used during the trip.
- After trips, tracks and waypoints from GPS can be downloaded,
stored, managed and reused in later trips.
- Analyzing OHV and hiking trips, understanding where you went and
how far you were from something.
- Making waypoints and tracks to follow to easily get someplace
you've never been before or don't have GPS data for but Terraserver
maps exist for it.
- Making maps with coordinate lines.
- Analyzing speed at different places, adding waypoints where you forgot
to mark one but did slow down or stop.
