At the current state, opengeodb provide geo coordinates and several other data (city name, zip) mainly for the german speaking area.

GPSdings (project name GPStools) is a set of free applications that let you manipulate and analyse GPS data from the command line.

Colombian metadata toolbox (comet-box) is a set of tools to handle metadata according to the colombian standards.

ForeRunner X01 toolkit provides an easy access to Forerunner 201/301/305/305E GPS-units. There are multiple command line tools to read data from GPS into database and tools to export data in different formats like gpx and tcx.

LGML is a GML parser under the LGPL license. The aim is to parse a GML document or fragment in order to get a WKT output. 2D and 3D inputs are both handled, but it is not permitted to have mixed geometries. The caller can choose if the input coordinates are parsed as X, Y, Z (if present) order, or Y, X, Z (if present) order. The willing of the project is to be a starting point useful for developers that need to parse GML objects in order to use them, for example, in the context of OGC catalogue projects. The library is compiled using Java 1.5 or 1.6. For now, supported inputs are: LineString, MultiLineString, MultiPoint, MultiPolygon, Point, Polygon, MultiSurface (in an experimental way: the only child object handled is Polygon). At the following URL: http://95.110.227.201:8080/lgml is exposed a minimal web interface in order to test it.

The LogMeFree is a tool to transform NMEA frames to Google's KML. The data can be read from a file or directly from a GPS device (i.e. GPS logger, mouse).

NAS-KONV is a collection of examples, how informations could be extracted out of NAS files, using XSLT scripts. NAS is a GML3 exchange format, used by the german cadastral agencies for ALKIS®.

The goal of the OSM2PostGIS project is to develop an OpenStreetMap data processor that can import any amount of .osm XML data into a PostGIS database, and produce evaluated navigation network topologies to support routing.

ParseMeFree is the NMEA 1083 lightweight parser library written in Java. The library is used to parse NMEA ASCII frames to Java readable objects.

Append hundreds of different XML files into one large data document, validate, and attach a stylesheet. Stitcher is a porwerful summary reporting tool. Allows for complex file storage locations of xml data. UBL, HR-ML, LandXML ... visit stitcher.org.

msCross is an AJAX (WEB 2.0) WEB GIS client, initially developed to be a Javascript interface for UMN Mapserver. The main objective is to permit users to simply create webgis applications. Support cross browser, WFS and WMS protocols, panning, zooming, s

A simple and still alpha Python script to extract features out of an OpenStreetMap (OSM) file into basic Keyhole markup language (KML)

This is going to be a set of tools which is intended to be used with huge OSM files like the planet files in XML format. The parser reads directly from packed *.gz files and it is not needed to unpack the OSM/XML data files to the local disk. Now in 0.3.0: osm_tags: tag analyzer (like tag watch) osm_split: split osm file in single files for nodes, ways and relations and collect some meta information (will be used as input for other tools). osm_cut: create rectangular extracts tr_view: view tool for trafalgar files, including fast osmtoolz import filter, GPX an KML track import (see screenshots) There is a small script included which helps to transform from *.bz2 to *.gz using a named pipe (seems not to work for cygwin)
