Situation:
- Assimilation of geospatial data that is stored in disparate formats, datums and spatial coordinate systems.
- Creation of spatial layers to represent plant or animal populations and/or the extent and quality of vegetation types.
- Basic spatial analysis to identify spatial characteristics of points, lines or polygons, and/or the relationship between these entities.
- Basic cartographic needs.
Solution:
gvSIG Desktop coupled with the Sextante plugin fulfils the bulk of the company's geospatial requirements.
Benefits:
gvSIG is a valuable and useful geospatial tool that allows a user to readily import and reproject historic data sets, readily create new data sets and conduct a wide range of geospatial analyses. The program also provides basic cartographic functionality that allows data to be printed directly to a printer, exported to postscript or exported to a PDF. The intuitive user interface makes this package very easy to use.
