Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] Update on the Free GIS Book


I've added a post to the OpenJUMP Blog detailing my recent and upcoming work on the Free GIS Book. You can read the blog post here:
http://openjump.blogspot.com/
 
I'd like to know if anyone can provide me a source of information about the use of RADAR and other technology to measure distances in cartography and geodesy applications. I mention this briefly in my section of the Mapping Math chapter on "Measuring Distances", but I don't know very much about it and would like to do some research to make sure what I'm saying is correct. 
 
I'd also like to start laying out a print version of the chapter, as I'm accumlating what will be at least a few pages of material. I can start on a layout for a hard copy version of the Free GIS Book, but I'd like to get some input from the OSGeo "branding" folks if possible. 
 
As always, I welcome comments and suggestions on the chapter material.
 
Thanks,
 
Landon (A.K.A. - The Sunburned Surveyor)
