Hi all, I'm interested in doing some modelling of transport in Christchurch.
I was wondering if anyone has experience using (and could recommend) a suitable GIS (or other suitable cartographic software) on Linux. There is a list of them at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_GIS_software Ideally, I would like it to be easily scriptable using python. Also, does anyone have access to the digital street-map info for Chch? Or even better the cadastral info for Chch? It doesn't have to be completely up-to-date. The old digital cadastral database would be sufficient. I asked the CCC, they have the road-centreline data but they are a bit too expensive. This is only a personal-interest project, after all. Cheers, Carl.
