Cool Mac Software--OpenOSX Grass Based on GRASS GIS 6.0.1 is Out

OpenOSX just announced the availability of an updated version of their free OpenOSX Grass product based on GRASS GIS 6.0.1. The free OpenOSX solution is a complete Geographic Information System (GIS) contained in a convenient stand-alone application, requiring zero-installation. The minor new update of OpenOSX Grass is primarily to include the latest and recently released version of the GRASS open source GIS bringing more than a dozen bug fixes. GRASS 6.0.1 includes a "GIS Display Manager" with layers, a vector engine capable of handling 2D and 3D vector data, an NVIZ 3D interface allowing volume (voxel) capabilities, 3D and 4D visualization, and the ability to integrate database management systems such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, DBF and ODBC. GRASS can import and export most popular geo-spatial file formats and includes tools for photo-orthorectification, image classification, re-projection, geostatistics, spatial data analysis and much more. OpenOSX Grass is a free and immediate download. [Bill Fox]
