Thanks for both messages. I think for now I go for QGIS. However, I don't like the KDE interface. I still don't know where can I get a map from. I think some basic map would be fine with roads, waters, borders, etc. For start I don't think I need any 3D information. I give a try to QGIS later this week. Later, I'd like to move to GRASS. The window manager is pretty much irrelevant. QGIS runs under Gnome, XFCE, KDE, Windows, OSX, .... Some of the popular sources of map layers, to get started, include: Global administrative boundaries: http://www.gadm.org/ Natural Earth data: http://www.naturalearthdata.com/ (and Moritz already mentioned OpenStreetMaps) Thanks,
