OpenStreetMap is a free editable map of the whole world. It is made by people like you. OpenStreetMap allows you to view, edit and use geographical data in a collaborative way from anywhere on Earth.

Commonly referred to as GRASS, this is a Geographic Information System (GIS) used for geospatial data management and analysis, image processing, graphics/maps production, spatial modeling, and visualization. GRASS is currently used in academic and ... [More] commercial settings around the world, as well as by many governmental agencies and environmental consulting companies. [Less]

GeoNetwork opensource is a standardized and decentralized spatial information management environment, designed to enable access to geo-referenced databases, cartographic products and related metadata from a variety of sources, enhancing the spatial ... [More] information exchange and sharing between organizations and their audience, using the capacities of the internet. This approach of geographic information management aims at facilitating a wide community of spatial information users to have easy and timely access to available spatial data and to existing thematic maps that might support informed decision making.

Mapnik is a Free Toolkit for developing mapping applications. It's written in C++ and there are Python bindings to facilitate fast-paced agile development. It can comfortably be used for both desktop and web development

Marble is a desktop globe program and a generic geographical map widget and framework. Marble shows the Earth as a sphere but doesn't need any hardware acceleration (no OpenGL needed). It's meant to be small, fast and light weight.

A PocketPC/Windows Mobile version of Freemind. Because of limited screen size, Pocket Freemind uses a hierarchical tree view instead of the graphical map view of Freemind, however it is completely file-format compatible with Freemind.

Free mind mapping solution. Created with Gnome desktop in mind but should be cross-platform. C#, Gtk#, Cairo and XML.

The IHMC CmapTools software empowers users to construct, navigate, share, and criticize knowledge models represented as Concept Maps. (It runs under a propriety license and so shouldn't be here: http://cmap.ihmc.us/download/license_client.php )

Support library for development of GRASS GIS modules with aim on distributed computing and dynamic languages.

Mapstraction is a library that provides a common API for various javascript mapping APIs to enable switching from one to another as smoothly as possible. Developers can code their applications once, and then easily switch mapping provider based on ... [More] project needs, terms and conditions, and new functionality. Users can switch maps as desired based on personal taste and quality of maps in their local area. Various tools built on top of Mapstraction allow users to easily integrate maps into their own sites, and configure them with different controls, styles, and provider. [Less]

TouchGraph is a set of interfaces for graph visualization using spring-layout and focus+context techniques. Current applications include a utility for organizing links, a visual Wiki Browser, and a Google Graph Browser which uses the Google API.

Perl extension for generating cartograms, maps in which the sizes of the enumeration units have been rescaled according to an attribute they posses rather than their actual size. Resizing a map's regions in a way that keeps the map recognizable is ... [More] a difficult problem. Michael Gastner proposed a method and made available a C program to generate cartograms. By now, Geo::Cartogram simply takes a map in ESRI's shapefile format (.shp) and a user-defined function to generate the files needed for Gastner's program to run. [Less]

Preparation of GPS routes and analysis of GPS logs in the context of outdoor sports (biking, skiing, trecking, gliding, geocaching, mountaineering). Our hope is to have a multi platform, multi GPS file and map format software.

Compendium is a software tool providing a flexible visual interface for managing the connections between information and ideas. It places few constraints on how to organise material, though many have found that it provides support for structured ... [More] working, following a methodology or modelling technique. Particular interest is in visualizing the connections between people, ideas and information at multiple levels, in mapping discussions and debates, and what skills are needed to do so in a participatory manner that engages all users. Validated in small and large scale projects across diverse sectors, it is the result of research and development at the intersection of hypertext, collaborative modelling, organizational memory, computer-supported argumentation and meeting facilitation.

OverviewBirdEye is a community project to advance the design and development of a comprehensive open source information visualization and visual analytics library for Adobe Flex. The actionscript-based library enables users to create ... [More] multi-dimensional data visualization interfaces for the analysis and presentation of information. The project is based on development and the integration/adoption of related open source libraries (see credits and attributions). For status of development, refer to the wiki pages. FeaturesThe Feature set will be focused on five themes: Relational Analysis (RaVis) Methods of analysing relationships, structures, and links among objects. Graph theory algorithms such as Radial, Hierarchical, and Force-Directed; Self-contained - all mathematical processing is performed within the library; Control - degrees of separation, data filtering, item rendering, drag and drop, look and feel, visibility, events, dataproviders, etc. GeoSpatial Analysis (GeoVis) The analysis of locational and geographic data. Rendering of vector-based maps with control to style geographic objects (e.g. regions, countries, states), add symbol overlays, events, projections, coordinate addressing, etc... Custom maps via svg path data, shapefile readers, and KML/GML configurations; Quantitative Analysis (QaVis) Conventional and novel methods of numerical and statistical analysis. Treemap Sparklines Venn diagrams, bullseye, pyramids, polar/spider charts, etc... Conventional chart and graph methods Temporal Analysis (TaVis) The analysis of data that varies over time. Components to support chronology and date/time analysis General Utility (GuVis) Concepts and techniques of information visualization and visual design.
