GIS O PEN S OURCE L IBRARIES GDAL/OGR C++ libraries for raster and vector data respectively. JTS (Java Topological Suite) Complete suite for 2D spatial algorithms based on the Simple Features for SQL specification of OGS. GEOS is its C++ port. JCS (Java Conflation Suite) Java based tool for conflation and cleaning of spatial data sets, which helps in error detection and automatic/manual correction. GPSBabel Tool to between various GPS data formats. It can translate waypoints, routes and tracks and partially signal quality information between various data formats.
