I do not think implementing a fully fledged GIS inside OOo makes any sense. What I would like, however, would be to have a geodatabase browser. This should be more reasonable as an effort, as: - OOo base can already browse Postgresql (thus also PostGIS) tables - OOo draw can read svg (an output supported by PostGIS). pc -- Paolo Cavallini, see: http://www.faunalia.it/pc
