EPSILON is a powerful Open Source wavelet image compressor. The project is aimed on parallel and robust image processing.

A bike information system for cyclists in Berlin and Brandenburg (Germany) with a map view and a routing engine. There's a graphical interface (based on Perl/Tk) as well as an Web interface. Source code may be found at Github: https://github.com/eserte/bbbike/

A web atlas using the planetary body renderer, Xplanet. Explore the solar system. Overlay clouds, cities, weather forecasts, and more. Navigate by point and click. Search global databases.

MTKBabel is a Perl program to operate the i-Blue 747 GPS data logger. It should work also with other GPS devices based on the MediaTek MTK chipset. It is free software released under the GPL license.

wfb2sql is a Perl script that extracts information from the CIA World Factbook and creates SQL statements for IBM DB/2, PostgreSQL or MySQL. This data builds a perfect database for learning and teaching SQL.

VALARI is a Virtual Announced Launch And Recovery Informant for Mac OSX for GPS & Telemetry tracking of modern high power rocketry. Eventually we might port this to other OSes.

Gpsdrive is a car (bike, ship, plane) navigation system. Displaying your position on a map and a lot of other functions are implemented. It works with vector maps from http://www.OpenStreetMap.de/

User data exported from later model Garmin GPSmap marine GPS sets consists of ADM files written to a VFAT-formatted SD card. This data includes user-generated waypoints and routes, and recorded GPS tracks. adm2gpx converts this data to industry-standard GPX records that may be imported into third-party mapping and GPS software.

Beam and it's follow-on I-Beam are sets of programs to produce coverage charts of radio sources. It has been used for RADAR, DME, VOR and various communications sources specific to aviation. However, it is also valid for cell phone, TV and radio towers

Earth Enterprise is the open source version of Google Earth Enterprise (GEE), a powerful geospatial application suite that enables organizations to build and host custom 3D globes and 2D maps using their own imagery and data. Unlike Google Maps or Google Earth, Earth Enterprise does not include Google’s proprietary imagery but instead provides the tools needed to manage and visualize private geospatial datasets. The system is composed of three main components: Fusion, which processes and integrates imagery, vector, and terrain data into unified map layers; Server, which hosts the resulting globes or maps via Apache or Tornado-based web servers; and Client, which includes the Google Earth Enterprise Client (EC) for 3D visualization and the Google Maps JavaScript API V3 for 2D viewing. Designed for enterprise, research, and government use, it allows for secure, scalable deployment of geospatial visualization systems within private infrastructure.

ForeRunner X01 toolkit provides an easy access to Forerunner 201/301/305/305E GPS-units. There are multiple command line tools to read data from GPS into database and tools to export data in different formats like gpx and tcx.

G.R.E.A.T. - Google Earth Reporting Engine and Analysis Tool The Goal of this project is to create a basic IDS interface with Google Earth. Currently generates a KML file of traceroute/whois information suitable for use in Google Earth

GKK - GPX KurvenKoeffizientenBerechner. Berechnet aus einer vorliegenden GPX-Datei die Summe der Kurven pro km. Kommandozeilenbasierte Anwendung.

This module provides functions for calculating the path to a map tile at OpenStreetMap out of geographic coordinates.

GeoDB is a set of tools and perl modules to store, retrieve and search for information on geocaching and other geographical data sets.

Mobilemaps is a Nearby Engine which allows users to find Web pages by location. Extremely fast and capable of scaling to any number of pages, it supports OpenGIS map-servers and uses MySQL, Perl and C.

OSIOSS (Open Source Integrated Observing System Software) is a collection of code which can be used for geospatial observing systems merging data collection, management and products solutions with ocean observing systems (OOS) as an initial focus.

This project is a reference, open source implementation of the coordinate conversion algorithms for the Polish geobotanical grid called ATPOL.

Smart servers that can provide customized snippets of digital orthophotos using just-in-time geoprocessing and interoperable web-based components. These servers are based on the MITOthoServers who was under the GNU Public License (GPL).

Ozitools project aims to collect/create a set of tools for OziExplorer map processing and convertion to/from open formats (e.g. GeoTiff) appropriate for using in GIS applications.

Example Perl scripts for usage of inverse transformation formulas from RD (X,Y Rijksdriehoek) coordinates to ellipsoid wgs84 (latt, long) coordinates and vice versa.

StateVis is a package that allows states (or groups) to create a browsable database of their Landsat holdings.

Serve GPS data from a single GPS device to multiple clients which don't need to parse (or even know the existence of) NMEA. The data is sent from the server to the clients via SOAP.
