GeographicLib is a small C++ library for: geodesic and rhumb line calculations; conversions between geographic, UTM, UPS, MGRS, geocentric, and local cartesian coordinates; gravity (e.g., EGM2008) and geomagnetic field (e.g., WMM2020) calculations.

Seeker is an open source project that demonstrates how to obtain precise location information from devices using social engineering and web-based techniques. The tool sets up a phishing page that asks for location permissions, allowing GPS and other device data to be shared if the user consents. It can capture latitude, longitude, accuracy, altitude, direction, and even speed, with results displayed in a terminal. The project supports both manual deployment and tunneling services like Ngrok for external access. While primarily intended as an educational resource on security awareness, it highlights the risks of exposing geolocation data online. Its simplicity and effectiveness have made it a popular project in cybersecurity learning circles.

folium builds on the data wrangling strengths of the Python ecosystem and the mapping strengths of the leaflet.js library. Manipulate your data in Python, then visualize it in on a Leaflet map via folium. folium makes it easy to visualize data that’s been manipulated in Python on an interactive leaflet map. It enables both the binding of data to a map for choropleth visualizations as well as passing rich vector/raster/HTML visualizations as markers on the map. The library has a number of built-in tilesets from OpenStreetMap, Mapbox, and Stamen, and supports custom tilesets with Mapbox or Cloudmade API keys. folium supports both Image, Video, GeoJSON and TopoJSON overlays. To create a base map, simply pass your starting coordinates to Folium. To display it in a Jupyter notebook, simply ask for the object representation. The default tiles are set to OpenStreetMap, but Stamen Terrain, Stamen Toner, Mapbox Bright, and Mapbox Control Room, and many others tiles are built in.

GPlates is a plate-tectonics program. Manipulate reconstructions of geological and paleo-geographic features through geological time. Interactively visualize vector, raster and volume data.

TopoGen is a small PyGTK application which will make a topographic image overlay for Google Earth using the given coordinate boundaries.

The Geocanvas project aims to provide a very small and simple set of APIs to assist the developer in creating geographically referenced canvas applications within the GTK/Gnome environment.

LAnd Survey Tools "LAST" was created to preserve and expand on the work invested in an old, privately used, DOS based land survey construction and data collection application by porting much of the C++ coded logic and design concept over to Python.

openBmap collects data and provides open maps and statistics of all communicating objects: cellular antennas, wifi hotspots. All softwares from back-end to client are open-source under AGPL v3 license.

Warning: I found an error if the DR position is on the southern hemisphere. The PUB249 pdf files did not show this error and are correct (as far as I checked). All Revisions 8+ and the Windows release have been fixed. This Python TK application calculates a good set of stars for a 3 star fix, makes all calculations similar to the FAAs Celestial Computation Sheet (see FAA doc FAA-H-8083-18). Also, you can create a PDF file that generates Pub 249 Vol 1 for any epoch you specify. The PUB249 as PDF is found under "Files". I wrote this for my aircraft bubble octant :-) It is mainly useful for air navigation as it assumes a bubble sextant but may be used for normal sextants as well. Requires Ephem and ReportLab (optional for PDF output) Not to be used for real-world navigation!

openModeller is a complete C++ framework for species potential distribution modelling. The project also includes a graphical user interface, a web service interface and an API for Python.

Earth Enterprise is the open source version of Google Earth Enterprise (GEE), a powerful geospatial application suite that enables organizations to build and host custom 3D globes and 2D maps using their own imagery and data. Unlike Google Maps or Google Earth, Earth Enterprise does not include Google’s proprietary imagery but instead provides the tools needed to manage and visualize private geospatial datasets. The system is composed of three main components: Fusion, which processes and integrates imagery, vector, and terrain data into unified map layers; Server, which hosts the resulting globes or maps via Apache or Tornado-based web servers; and Client, which includes the Google Earth Enterprise Client (EC) for 3D visualization and the Google Maps JavaScript API V3 for 2D viewing. Designed for enterprise, research, and government use, it allows for secure, scalable deployment of geospatial visualization systems within private infrastructure.

FastVersion is a Qgis plugin for data versioning in a Postgis database. This plugin provides data versioning to tables with geometry stored in postgis. It allows to create, changes and eliminate versions, and within each version , to insert, modify and eliminate elements. It is possible carry out the processes of “post” from one version to another, with conflict resolution functionality. The system uses algorithms and data structures so that information is not duplicated each time a version is created. We recommend downloading it from the Qgis app. Plugins->Manage and Install Plugins->Settings->Show also experimental plugins Plugins->Manage and Install Plugins->Search FastVersion If downloaded from sourceforge, it must be unzipped in \.qgis2\python\plugins
