Webinar: Maximizing the Power of Your Point Clouds

Are you looking to leverage the wealth of information contained in point clouds, but need to know which tools will help you do the most with your data in the least amount of time? In the upcoming software release, Intergraph will release new photogrammetry, remote sensing, and server products that enable you to unlock the power of point clouds.

Webinar: Portray Your Geography to the World

Geospatial organizations need to use and distribute volumes of geospatial data, but disparate legacy information systems may hinder data sharing. When departments use different geospatial software and data formats, data silos result, forming obstacles to effective collaboration within the enterprise. Additional problems arise when trying to share data with outside organizations.

Release of the free GIS Cloud Publisher extension for Esri ArcMap

A single click solution to get your maps from desktop to the Cloud!

The extension is free and compatible with Esri ArcMap 9.x and 10.x. You can download it from the following link: GIS Cloud Publisher for ArcMap (600kB)

Publishing GIS projects with traditional GIS tools is not easy. You have to set up your own server, being that a server from a commercial vendor or open-source, and follow that with maintaining the server and services, uploading your data from desktop, reconfiguring maps and generating tiles to be optimized for the Web, not to mention mobile and tablets. All these are, for the most part, daunting and/or expensive tasks.

QGIS 1.8 Release

We are very pleased to announce the release of QGIS 1.8.0 'Lisboa', the next in our development release series. This release contains new features and extends the programmatic interface over QGIS 1.0.x and QGIS 1.7.0.

Binary and source code packages are available at:

If there is not yet a package for your platform on the above page, please check back regularly as packagers are still pushing out their work and they will update the download page to reflect the new packages. Along with the release of QGIS 1.8.0, the QGIS Community Team is hard at work on an updated QGIS Users' Guide version 1.8.0. The guide will be available in the near future - we will post announcements when it is available.

QGIS is a completely volunteer driven project, and is the work of a dedicated team of developers, documenters and supporters. We extend our thanks and gratitude for the many, many hours people have contributed to make this release happen. We would also like to thank our sponsors and donors for helping to promote our work through their financial contributions.
