[OSGeo-Discuss] Can I do the same GIS tasks with OS (aswith ESRI)?

[Miguel Montesinos]

Hello Mohamed,

It's under development in gvSIG. Within this year (rough approximation) a new version whould be published with advanced symbology support as well as other features. If interested, you may have a look at the gvSIG road map [1]
