Nice coincidence that at the last Linux-Adda held at Arin's office, we had a brief discussion on geo-spatial modeling. :) The suggestion is interesting, and its something I would like to contribute to if something like this gets underway. I have a few basic open questions that I have listed out: 1) What purpose(s) will it serve? 2) Who will be its target users? 3) Where is the mapping data going to come from? 4) Is the map/model going to be 2D or 3D? 5) What will be the resolution of such a map? 6) Are we talking about a Google Maps type web-service platform? cheers, -indra > Rajesh -- L2C2 Technologies -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [ Innovations that make a Difference ] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone : (0)-98300-20971 WWW : http://www.l2c2.org -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
