Awesome GIS

Awesome GIS is for collecting the geographic information system (GIS) related sources, including cartographer tools, geoanalysis tools, developing tools, data, conference & communities, news, MOOC's course, some amazing map site, etc.

Welcome to contribute. Let's make it better. Please follow the Contributing Guidelines.

Inspired by Awesome Python.
