ArcGIS Explorer is a free, downloadable GIS viewer that gives you an easy way to explore, visualize, and share GIS information. ArcGIS Explorer adds value to any GIS because it helps you deliver your authoritative data to a broad audience.
With ArcGIS Explorer, you can
o Access ready-to-use ArcGIS Online basemaps and layers.
o Fuse your local data with map services to create custom maps.
o Add photos, reports, videos, and other information to your maps.
o Perform spatial analysis (e.g., visibility, modeling, proximity search).
Key Features:
-
Access 2D and 3D mapping services from ArcGIS Server, ArcIMS, and Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) WMS
-
Add local data such as geodatabases, shapefiles, KML/KMZ, GPX, and raster formats (JPEG 2000, GeoTIFF, MrSID). See a demo of adding GPX data to ArcGIS Explorer.
-
Connect to ESRI-hosted ArcGIS Online (satellite imagery for the entire world, worldwide streets, terrain, boundaries and labels, political maps, and physiography).
-
Answer geographic questions and share the answers with others.
Perform GIS analysis (such as visibility, direction finding, and proximity search). -
Connect to GeoRSS feeds. See a demo.
-
E-mail your projects directly from the application. See a demo.
-
Customize your map display (symbology, pop up windows, layer transparency, sun shading, clouds, graticules). You can also use the free downloadable SDK to create new tools and add-ons.
