Over on the SpatiaLite Google Group, Stine Consulting announced the availability of 2011 TIGER Boundary files in SpatiaLite format. Despite initial enthusiasm, mainstream uptake of SpatiaLite has been slow but I think that’s about to change. Large organizations, such as the US Army, are showing a much more serious interest in SpatiaLite as they expand…

SpatiaLite 3.0 Beta Is Available
Alessandro Furieri announced the availability of the beta of SpatiaLite 3.0.0 on 17 August. It can be downloaded here: http://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite-3.0.0-BETA/index.html.

SpatiaLite Provider Now In SharpMap Repository
I got a surprise e-mail from Felix today letting me know that the SpatiaLite provider I posted some time ago, along with Kev’s great spatial index work, has been included in the SharpMap repository. If you’re looking for one place to pick them up, now you’ve got it. If you haven’t checked out SharpMap or…
SpatiaLite Provider Code for SharpMap 0.9
I mentioned in an earlier post that I was working on building a SpatiaLite data provider for SharpMap 0.9.

SpatiaLite Support in QGIS
Alessandro announced on SpatiaLite group today that QGIS 1.1 will include a data provider for SpatiaLite, the spatial extender for SQLite. It’s out there now in the SVN trunk if you’re so inclined. I am curious how long it will take to cascade through to the OSGEO4W build. If you haven’t check out SpatiaLite, I…
Odds and Ends (SpatiaLite and Stuff)
It has been quite a while since I last blogged. The holidays are always a busy time of year with family a friends and work has been somewhat busy as well. We established a new presence in Colorado Springs (I’ll be traveling there at the end of January). Additionally, I’ve been busy with project work…
Extending SharpMap with SQLite
Or vice versa. A while back I posted about setting up a GIS server using open source GIS technologies. When I left off, I was going to start messing with SharpMap. I’ve been able to get back to that recently. I am working on a project where I need to do some basic spatial operations…
