COLUG April Meeting will be held at<font size="2"> 2Checkout.com this month: 1785 O'Brien Rd, Columbus OH 43228 on Wednesday April 27 at 7 PM. April's program will be Open Source Geographical Information Systems.</font><br>
<br><br>We have Google Earth and Google Maps, so why do I need another system (or two or three) to make and view maps? What GIS applications are available as open source programs? What sources of data are there for these systems? What else can I do with these programs besides make maps?<br>
<br>I will answer these questions and more. I plan to speak about GIS systems for an hour or so, followed by demos of some of the programs.<br><br><br>I have been emailing Scott about this meeting topic. He secured the venue for the evening. I've been waiting for him to make an announcement, and he has probably been waiting for me to make an announcement, so I figured I would respond to the earlier email about the April meeting.<br>
<br>Normally we would hold the meeting on the last Saturday of April, but I will be out of town that weekend.<br>
