Revision as of 04:17, 4 October 2009
Motivation
The OSGeo Cartographic Library and all software projects obviously need a free map symbol set.
Available Material
- GRASS symbols and icons: visual dictionary
- Free map symbol sets from GFOSS.it: Simboli cartografici: trees, geology, meteorology and north arrows
- Free map icons from GRASS: various symbols
- GpsDrive and OpenStreetMap maintain a repository of c. hundreds of Point Of Interest (POI) rasterized and SVG symbol icons under a permissive OSS license. Things like "banks" and "hospitals" are very well covered.
- US Government
- National Park Service (public domain) http://www.nps.gov/hfc/carto/map-symbols.htm
- symbols for wildland fire (public domain?) http://gis.nwcg.gov/gstop_symbol.html
- GeoServer default SLDs: http://svn.codehaus.org/geoserver/trunk/configuration/release/styles/ (useful?)
- AtlasStyler collection of SE symbols and SVGs: http://en.geopublishing.org/openmapsymbols/
- ...
Other Technology
(please keep focus on free as in freedom technologies)
Microsoft has a symbol server
