Gps - GPS related programs: Set of Debian packages which are dealing with GPS devices and data.
Openstreetmap - OpenStreetMap related programs: Set of Debian packages which are dealing with OpenStreetMap data.
Remote sensing - Remote sensing and earth observation: Debian packages which are dealing with Remote Sensing (for instance Synthetic Aperture Radar -- SAR) processing (interferometry, polarimetry, data visualization, etc) and earth observation.
Statistics - Statistics with geographical data: Set of Debian packages which are useful for doing statistics with geographical data.
Map server - Present geographic information via web map server: Debian packages which are dealing with geographical information to be presented for the web on so called map tile servers.
