Any open source GIS/map database tools other than DHIS2

Hi

I am wondering if there are any open source tools other than DHIS2 that anyone has used for projecting data on maps.

My requirement is to create just a few maps, hence creating all the OU hierarchy in DHIS2 is too big an exercise. I am looking for a tool that already has administrative boundaries from UN OCHA or OSM etc. and where I can just project my coordinates , change admin division colors and some very basic stuff.

Thank you in advance, any leads will be helpful.

I’m not too sure if you are looking for digital maps or GIS software. If the latter, I suspect the simplest-to-use open source GIS software is Kosmo (www.opensig.es), especially if you’re using an Access (mdb) database. If in Postrgres, I would use QGIS.

Hi,

I would highly recommend QGIS, which is the leader among open source GIS - well documented and lots of tutorials available.

We will soon support data export from DHIS2 to other GIS applications like QGIS (GeoJSON-format), so it’s a nice tool to learn :slight_smile:
