Are you looking for GIS solutions? Check out GRASS (http://www.geog.uni-hannover.de/grass/) for GIS mapping (works closely with PostGreSQL), or Mapserver (http://www.mapserver.org) for creating on-line maps. I've played with both, but I am by no means an expert (not even a novice, really; I installed them and got them to work then forgot them). Sláinte, Richard S.

They are subversive. You think they're just sitting there at the desk, all quiet and everything. They're like plotting the revolution, man. I wouldn't mess with them." --Michael Moore -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
