Abstract: The application of commercial GIS software in GIS teaching has weakened students’ understanding and exploration abilities of principles and algorithms. It is necessary to use an open source GIS solution instead. According to the teaching objectives and knowledge points of the GIS software development courses, this paper classifies the open source GIS software systems. At the same time, from the aspects of license agreement and development mode, a set of GIS software development, desktop development, and WebGIS development and open source solutions for mobile GIS development are proposed. Practices in teaching prove that the open source solution proposed in this paper can significantly improve students’ GIS software development skills.

Key words: open source GIS, software development course, standard specification, spatial data, geo-computation
