Analyze and visualize tours in many variations, which are recorded with a GPS device, bike-, exercise- or ergometer-computer. Some highlights: Tools are available to adjust recorded data, GPS tours can be visualized in customizable maps, ...

Earth3D is a program to display the earth as a 3D globe (including heightfields) in real-time. One can zoom until cities become visible. It uses huge datasets that are loaded on demand over the internet. It is possible to embed dynamic data into the view

GPSdings (project name GPStools) is a set of free applications that let you manipulate and analyse GPS data from the command line.

GpsPrune is a java application to view and manage coordinate data, eg from GPS units. With it you can load a variety of text and Xml formats, view the data (in 2d and 3d), edit and convert the data, correlate photos and audio, create charts and more.

Mapyrus is software to plot Geographic Information System data to PostScript, PDF, SVG and web image files. Mapyrus combines a BASIC-like scripting language, reading GIS datasets and running as either a utility program, a Java Servlet, or as a webser

WW2D allows you to explore Earth using satellite imagery, topographic maps and image from other data sources also providing large placenames and boundaries database and allowing you to install community-made add-ons for even more info about our planet.

Ycad is a library of CAD functions in Java. Currently only DXF is supported for reading, viewing and writing. The DXF drawing may be rendered to a Graphics object for printing or imaging.

A Java application to request calibrated raster maps from compatible web based map servers, and then save the maps in OziExplorer (.map) format.

Use map data to plan hikes or explore new areas. Includes 3D maps of terrain rendered in real-time; trace trails across the terrain and get height verses distance profiles; tile together adjacent maps to create seamless map areas. Reads USGS SDTS files.

XNavigator is the online viewer for the OpenStreetMap Globe at http://osm-3d.org and much more. It is an interactive 3D viewer and integrated client for exploring virtual city and landscape models. A wide range of interaction and navigation possibilities makes it easy to visualize and analyze very detailed virtual urban environments. XNavigator is the first application that supports the Web3DService (W3DS) service interface.

T3D2 - Terrain Track Thermal Data Displayer. Takes 3D GPS tracks and displays the flights over 3D Digital Elevation Data along with pixel data mapped over the terrain. Analyzes the flight for thermals. Checks if a pilot flew optimal.

Gpx2avi is Java-program which overlays GPS-data from .gpx-file to video file.

This SourceForge.net project serves as repository and distribution point for Carbon Five Open Source software and documentation.

CAVOR is an engine for building apps that involve both graphic and text/numeric data. Primarily GIS is the initial focus, but consider also CAD, CASE, project management (eg PERT charts), and others. Built-in scripting, C API, also supports Tcl and Java.

MIDlet showing status of GPS device connected to cellphone. Show availability of GPS device/signal, current position, speed, course and satellites' position and signal power. Log tracks in GPX format.

GeOxygene aims at providing an open framework which implements OGC/ISO specifications for the development and deployment of geographic (GIS) applications. It is a open source contribution of the COGIT lab. at the IGN (the French National Mapping Agency).

GeoDress is a program for reverse geocoding of JPEG pictures with a simple GUI and even a command-line interface.

Geovision is a system for collaboratively maintaining and viewing geographical data, especially data over time. Other types of historical data and its visualization also lie in the project's future.

A command line java tool that allows creating images of earthquake occurrences plotted on a map over time. These images can then be used to create a video / animation (with a seperate tool like mencoder)

A Java library to parse Garmin maps (IMG). Contains a simple map browser.

JGeotagger is a Java / Swing application which uses a GPX file to geotag JPG photos

JetSteam-3D is 3D GIS technology developed by Alchemedia. that allows the streaming of image,DEM,X3D,and WFS data to an applet. The javascript enabled applet allows the creation of 3D enabled WebGIS applications using typical AJAX techniques.
