Hello,
I think that a simple comparison to what ArcGIS does is limitating.
Several issues arises:
- Why compare to ArcGIS 9.3 and not Geomedia, MapInfo,...?
- What about features that OS GIS desktops provides not present
in ArcGIS 9.3?
I'd rather have a comparison
Hello,
Thinking about OSGeo desktop shootout, I think that also having a mobile
shootout comparison of both closed and open source mobile GIS/SDI clients would
be of high interest, for showing that there are a full range of solutions from
the DB to the mobile device using open source software.
Hei,
well so it would be ArcPad (1) vs. gvSIG Mobile Pilot (2)?
because these are the only platforms I know of that are (1) heavily used
and (2) FOS. Or does anybody know other FOS mobile clients too?
The latter info would be highly appreciate becasue then I could revise
nmy article sections
Hei boys, don't forget geopaparazzi, soon on your androids :)
It has a particular target but can IMHO be considered:

I do not think a simple feature comparison is very useful. Seeing workflows
that happen to use XYZ software or.. how we transitioned from ABC
proprietary software to XYZ open source and improved performance 10% while
reducing costs 20% etc.. that's useful and convincing. Knowing that ABC

Hi all,
This is a great discussion and I think that we're all generally on the same
page. Here's a little more food for thought regarding a desktop shootout:
Why compare to ESRI? The answer is because they own the lion's share of the
market with one-third of the global market share, and are used
Hi Jo,
I agree, but It seems EPSG:3785 it's the official code for
Spherical/Web Mercator so it should be the one on this updated spec.

Hei Dan,
thanks for the thoughts - I like them too and thats what I see too.. we
need not only to bring up the highlights between FOSGIS but even more to
convince people to eventually have a look on FOSGIS by comparing it to
ESRIs desktop software, since they have set a bit the standards (at
So if this is true, then that means that 80% of GIS users are asking
the question, Why should I use desktop open source XXX instead of ESRI?
I get more questions asking about the differences between FOSS projects
than between FOSS and proprietary products. If people are already
coming to
Helena, perhaps we should move this discussion to the EDU list, since this
side by side comparison you have done could be expanded to include multiple
desktop applications and would be fantastic to have as an educational tool.
Perhaps we can copy your exercises on a WIKI page and then encourage

Excellent stuff. I don't suppose you could be tempted to add reference
to your material to the OSGeo Case Studies page:

Daniel, yes, I am definitely more interested in the educational

I think would be very difficult to measure because accuracy and

may be as important as speed, if not more.
I have been promising
