While MySQL already provides some functionality to store and operate on geospatial data, the functionality leaves quite a lot to be desired and is far from providing full OpenGIS compatibility.

Most notably is that all functions that query spatial data only operate on MBRs (minimum bounding rectangles), to simplify the operations.  More >>

OpenRouteService is probably the most important application for street data – apart from visualizing them on a map. While there are a range of desktop (or even mobile) applications that can provide such functionalities also in combination with OSM data

With the advancement in low cost inertial micro-electro-mechanical sensors (MEMS) design, it is now possible to integrate some of these sensors with GPS receivers. The concept is simple, but the development of such a complete system requires well-researched design specifications. Moreover, for a product to succeed, the end-user cost should be minimal without any compromise on the accuracy or robustness of the system. (>> more)

Built around the C++ programming language, GPSTk primarily consists of two pieces, the afore-mentioned core library and the suite of applications. The library includes functions such as GPS time, ephemeris calculations, atmospheric delay models, position solutions, mathematics and an application framework. The applications suite includes basic transformations, observation data collection and conversion, file comparison and validation, data editing, ionosphere modeling, and autonomous and relative positioning.
