This has easily become one of my top go-to solutions for my work.ĬONS: Personally, I did not have any issues learning and getting into the rhythm of things with Grass. On top of its analysis features, I also use Grass to translate my GPS data to other formats. It integrates seamlessly with other analysis tools as well. It gives me access to a plethora of features. Fast forward to a few months of using this and I can say with confidence that this is one of the most intuitive GIS solutions that I've used. However, while I was doing my initial research, there had been some off-putting comments saying that this is a difficult tool to learn. To anyone who might run into any issue in its installation, there is certainly no shortage of resources that can walk you through the process online.
STARTING GRASS GIS INSTALL
Not to mention, it's easy to install too. PROS: I think that the best thing about Grass is that it's free.
STARTING GRASS GIS FULL
The latest release of the software by default manages attributes in SQLite format and features a full temporal framework. The software also supports various database interfaces, including SQLite, DBF, PostgreSQL, ODBC and MySQL. GRASS GIS offers powerful capabilities, including raster, 3D-raster (voxel), vector, DTM and point data analysis, image processing, geocoding, visualization, map creation, geostatistics, temporal framework, erosion modeling, landscapestructure analysis, watershed analysis and solution transport.
Teams can also keep locations on a central server with underlying mapsets and work simultaneously in the same project DB. The software supports workgroups using the concept of mapset/location and is able to share data over the Network File System. It supports both a graphical user interface and command line syntax and can interface with various printers, digitizers, plotters and databases. It can also be used for vector and raster data, multispectral image processing and spatial data creation, storage and manipulation. The system is comprised of 350+ modules that allow users to render maps and images and manage location-based data. With the passage of time, the simple tool evolved into a multi-function software that offers a wide range of utilities useful for academic and scientific research institutes, government institutes, NGOs as well as commercial settings. It was originally developed by the US Army as a tool for environmental planning and land management. The biggest advantage of GRASS GIS over other similar software is that it is open source and freely-available to users.
