January 19, 2009 -- Inventis today announced the release of OGR2GUI version 0.5, the graphical user interface used to convert and manipulate geospatial data.

What’s new in this version:

• the execution of the program without installer
  
• now supports batch processing
  
• support of BNA (Boundary File) file format
  

OGR2GUI is based upon OGR2OGR, a command line utility from the "Geospatial Data Abstraction Library” (gdal.org). Thanks to its graphic interface, OGR2GUI allows to use all the power of OGR2OGR without worrying about its complex syntax. It brings speed, efficiency and accessibility to its users.

OGR2GUI is an open source project licensed under the GNU General Public License. Everyone in the developer community is invited to join. The source code and the binary executables for Windows and Linux can be downloaded at inventis.ca

The development of OGR2GUI is consistent with the mission of Inventis to promote access to data and to deploy easy-to-use geospatial solutions.
