I am new to PostGIS, and want a good Windows desktop mapping tool to view and thematically map boundary data from my PostGIS database. I have Quantum, which is a nice viewer, but it doesn't seem to do thematic mapping. I am a heavy MapInfo and Maptitude user, but they don't read PostGIS spatial boundaries. I wish they would.
Is there a free/inexpensive tool to view and do some nice thematics? I would also like to have the "natural break" routine, which I use by default since it's the beast way to break up the categories. I have been doing all my database work in SQL Server and then linking from MapInfo and linking with equivalent boundary files (census block groups and zip codes for all USA). That's for the birds when I'm running routines in SQL Server and want to view the results graphically on an interactive basis. It's very clumsy. So PostgeSQL/PostGIS is a much better solution but I haven't found a good way to view the results spatially. Thanks... Doug
