New Layout fixes one annoyance with the Maptitude GUI vis-a-vis layout creation. The standard GUI creates a layout for the default printer, with a 1/4" margins all around, no snap grid, and no rulers (and no way to change the defaults). This macro allows you to access all of these settings in a single place and to customize the default behavior. The utility has a second nice feature for those of us who primarily print to PDFs, say via PDFCreator. PDFCreator uses the window handle set by Maptitude as the default filename for the PDF output, so output is always "Untitled.pdf" by default. New Layout allows you to specify the name of the layout, which PDFCreator will then harvest and use. This utility is free and open-source, and released under GPLv3.

Towards a Global Licensing Framework for Geospatial Data

Is it time for a global licensing framework for geospatial data? The GSDI Legal and Economic Working group thinks so and offered a presentation and a way forward at the GSDI 13 conference held in Quebec City in May. The effort aims to harmonize existing licensing without changing fundamental access policies and funding models and be compatible with the diferences in national legal systems. That's a tall order, but an important one as the world moves toward geodata sharing. Geoff Zeiss reports.
