JGPSTrackEdit
GPS track editor for editing tracks and planning (multiple) day tours
JGPSTrackEdit is a tool for editing gps tracks and planning (multiple days) tours (GPS track editor). An abritary number of tracks may be opened or created, tracks may be merged. A track may be splitted, reversed or edited (e.g. compressed and corrected). Points may be inserted or appended to a track (routing supported) or may be moved or deleted from a track. Maps of several providers are available, the default map is OpenStreetMap. Currently supported track formats: Garmin gpx route, Garmin gpx track, Garmin tcx, kml and plain txt. JGPSTrackEdit my also be used to download tile images for later offline use by smartphone apps. JGPSTrackEdit is written in the java language. To run the software, a java runtime installation is required (may be obtained from https://www.java.com/de/download/ or https://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk8/ or https://adoptopenjdk.net/) More information, including the user manual, may be found on the wiki pages (https://sourceforge.net/p/jgpst -

Seeker
Accurately Locate Smartphones using Social Engineering
Seeker is an open source project that demonstrates how to obtain precise location information from devices using social engineering and web-based techniques. The tool sets up a phishing page that asks for location permissions, allowing GPS and other device data to be shared if the user consents. It can capture latitude, longitude, accuracy, altitude, direction, and even speed, with results displayed in a terminal. The project supports both manual deployment and tunneling services like Ngrok for external access. While primarily intended as an educational resource on security awareness, it highlights the risks of exposing geolocation data online. Its simplicity and effectiveness have made it a popular project in cybersecurity learning circles. -

libpostal
A C library for parsing/normalizing street addresses around the world
A C library for parsing/normalizing street addresses around the world. Powered by statistical NLP and open geo data. libpostal is a C library for parsing/normalizing street addresses around the world using statistical NLP and open data. The goal of this project is to understand location-based strings in every language, everywhere. Addresses and the locations they represent are essential for any application dealing with maps (place search, transportation, on-demand/delivery services, check-ins, reviews). Yet even the simplest addresses are packed with local conventions, abbreviations and context, making them difficult to index/query effectively with traditional full-text search engines. This library helps convert the free-form addresses that humans use into clean normalized forms suitable for machine comparison and full-text indexing. Though libpostal is not itself a full geocoder, it can be used as a preprocessing step to make any geocoding application smarter, and simpler. -

eGPXviewer
eGPXviewer is a 3D GPX track viewer
eGPXviewer is a GPS track viewer capable of summarizing key data of input track GPS series, displaying the track's altitude & speed profile and provide interactive 3D perspective views of it. The GPS track data should be input from a GPX exchange formatted file which is typically obtained by downloading a GPX file from a GPS receiver/tracker (e.g. Garmin™) or an iOS™/Android™ tracker app. The GPX exchange format is a standard output file format available in most GPS tracker devices/applications. It is human readable text file written in XML. Read more about the GPX exchange file format here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_Exchange_Format. eGPXviewer is currently available for Win10 and Linux (Ubuntu/Mint, CentOS, OpenSUSE, Raspbian) operating systems. ™ Registered trademarks for the respective owners. -

Euler Pole Calculator (EPC)
A Matlab software to estimate Euler pole parameters
The EPC software calculates velocities for any points located on the earth’s surface given the Euler pole parameters and estimates the Euler pole parameters given the observed velocities of a set of sites located on a tectonic plate. Since version 2, the software is able to estimate or apply the Plate Translation Rates, as well. Please cite one of the following papers when you use the software: - Goudarzi, M A, Cocard, M, and Santerre, R. 2014."EPC: Matlab Software to Estimate Euler Pole Parameters". GPS Solutions 18 (1): 153–62. DOI: 10.1007/s10291-013-0354-4*. - Goudarzi, M A. 2025."Evaluating Euler Pole Parameters for the North American Terrestrial Reference Frame of 2022".
