QGIS

Until now I was mainly using fGIS when I wanted to view or edit shapefiles, but since a year or two the updates to fGIS are no longer publicly available due to some license issue. Last week I bought an interesting book about opensource GIS and it brought the QGIS application to my attention again. I had tried an earlier build of this application some time ago, but then I found it more difficult to use than fGIS. Now I tried a more recent build and I am impressed, it is a really powerfull application and quite easy to use. So I will replace fGIS by QGIS as my default GIS application for viewing and editing vector data.

    Hi Arno.

    You might also consider SAGA. It has many functions you’d not expct in freeware.
