A map in other GIS context is the final product of many overlapping "layers". I'd like to see that change propogated to both raster and vector. layer -> catset (Category Set) This change does not remove the confusion. The concept of "layer" is explained both on the vectorintro wiki page [1], and in the manuals as database links. If that's what it is, that's what it should be called. So layer might become "data link" or "attribute link" And what will the term "cat" be changed to?? I still like Michael Barton's suggestion [2] of cat being renamed "key" (or "id") [1]http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/Vector_Database_Management#Concepts_and_jargon [2] http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_7_Terminology Then I would vote to start changing terminology in trunk ASAP (including manual pages, etc.).

Why GRASS should use different term when other GIS packages and the most of GIS-related literature use 'layer' in this context? I cannot see the point. > layer -> catset: sorry, yuck. > (if it must be renamed, what's was wrong with going back to "field"?) > [I remember Radim explained on-list why that was changed when it > became "layer", ... need to dig out that thread] Catset seems to me as better choice, since it puts categories to the set.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Which GPS
Hi Ravi, BeeGIS will soon have a mini-helping hand based on android enabled phones. It will take care of gps logging (to be exported in GIS format) and acquisition of gps positioned and orientated pictures. It will also be able to log and manually take notes referenced notes. All of it will be importable in BeeGIS as geonotes and imagenotes. This would take care of some of the points mentioned below, but since it is not tested (will be first time next week) I can't tell you about accuracy.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Which GPS
Depends on the accuracy you hope to achieve, but you might want to look at the OpenMoko Freerunner. This has the advantage of also being a mobile phone i.e. the data being gathered can be synchronised with a server whenever there is a mobile signal, as well as be reviewed with gvSIG locally. The Freerunner also has a real mini USB port i.e. not just for charging, it can also be used with a proper keyboard.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Which GPS
Hi, wish to introduce 'Mobile Mapping for administration', with open GIS in India. OpenGIS software: I find only BeeGIS and GVSIG, compatible with direct (online) data logging as well as off-line (when not surveying)possible. Will be happy to have pointers on other Open GIS software. Which GPS: wish to experiment with GPS before suggesting to the users on a combination of GPS (data logger) which can be used for collecting data and loading the same in the evening after work, on any computer. Accuracy: What are the merits I have to look for such that best possible accuracy (near equator or Latitude less than 20 Deg North). Cost: This is the most important factor, as the budget is modest. Scenario: 1. Logger Pedals, GPS in pocket set to log location every 5 seconds. 2. Note time and notes on a scribble pad in local language. (the data logger only carries the GPS, even may not be aware of its function) 3. Back at the base the GPS and notes are deposited with a system operator who will log the data through bluetooth, and offer it to local administration on tasks like, Garbage removal, school attendance or even traffic snarls. This will help in the second step of a project where base GIS data is readied, and awaits societal use. Cheers Ravi Kumar Cricket on your mind? Visit the ultimate cricket website.
