1) I use PostGIS to create topographic maps for
http://www.gpsfiledepot.com. I also suggest other people use it by
writing about it extensively in my tutorial on how to create Garmin
compatible topo maps. In addition; I've started using it for a program
I'm writing to help make topo maps.
2) I find the ability to run SQL queries on GIS data without the need to
load the data on screen the best benefit. Mainly this saves time having
to render the data for viewing in a GUI and thus significantly increases
the amount of data I can process and increases the speed.
3) Maybe; it would depend on what it included.

Leo and I have a good portion of a PostGIS book written. Ideally we would
like to get a publisher to publish it, but seem to be running into the same
obstacles. No publisher seems to think people use PostGIS to warrant enough
demand for a book dedicated to it.
So to make a decent case for a book, can each of you in your own words
describe
1) How you use PostGIS?
2) What you find useful about it over anything else?
3) Why you think there should be any book written focused on its use and of
course if such a thing were to exist, would you buy it?
Of course I'll also need some official download stats etc. which hopefully
the Refractions group can help out with. I think Mark Cave-Ayland had
posted some stats a while back, but can't find them.
Thanks,
Regina
