What do you like best about gvSIG?

Easy to install and use. It works on any operating system (Windows, Linux or Mac). There is a version for phones with andriod.

Access to online digital cartography to perform data maintenance (update, modify, delete and add). The standard format (shp) is used by all the GIS programs, which allows the integration of the data generated with other platforms.

It allows me to generate an accurate cartography with information based on points.

It allows the incorporation of decision making at the managerial level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about gvSIG?

The options for changing the layout of fields in the tables are somewhat limited

You can not do the digital processing of the images.

It does not contain a lot of symbology for the creation of thematic maps.

It is very complicated to perform the coordinate grid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is gvSIG solving and how is that benefiting you?

With the vector-raster integration we can visualize the place of study and make the right decisions.

With the creation of thematic maps we can carry out studies of specific areas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about gvSIG?

Mostly, I liked the 3d Visualization tools. The output of the 3d scenes are great than any other opensource GIS desktop software that I have ever used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about gvSIG?

It may be the User Interface look. It could be a little more attractive and interactive. Options of selecting symbology and dealing with the labelling properties could be improved.

And I recommed to establish one plugin repository, where contributors can publish their tools for community usage. Hope, a lot of GIS users will get benefited through that platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is gvSIG solving and how is that benefiting you?

All the fundamental GIS tasks such as georeferencing, digitization, data conversion, analysis, mapping, etc.

Actually, I started using this software mainly for creating 3d Visuals when I was not satisfied with other opensource GIS software. And it made me to use this software for other tasks too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about this software is that it works with different vectorial formats, raster and image formats; In addition to having good and advanced tools of spatial analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about gvSIG?

What I like least about this software is the part of the toponymy or labeling of the vector information, because it often does not fit the scale of presentation. Another new feature is the part of the layout, which I do not consider very friendly when printing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
