Hi all,
I have not posted often on the site but as a cartographer I was wondering how many of you are using Open source GIS compared to proprietary GIS software like Avenza? Are you using both?
I have not seen much discussion regarding the use of softwares like Q or PostGIS db's on here?
From my experience migrating to these systems has resulted in cost savings that are monumental. I have found the time it takes you to develop the skills to master the software out ways the licensing fees you pay proprietary systems.
Not to say proprietary systems are not beneficial to cartography, we are all looking for different solutions to optimize our projects and that does include using these paid for software to reach some of these goals.
Look forward to the discussion.
