[gdal-dev] Geomedia mdb files

[Moskovitz, Bob]

Frank,

I'm also interested in seeing a Geomedia driver for gdal.  Btw, gvSIG has a Geomedia plugin (see https://code.google.com/p/extmdb ).  This might help you figure out how to make a driver for gdal.

zoltan,

I am not aware of an open source geomedia reader, though I've discussed
it with a few people from time to time.  I not aware of the BLOB format
but I suspect a sustained effort could lead to a decoding of it.

Best regards,
