ArcMap is the former main component of Esri's ArcGIS suite of geospatial processing programs. Used primarily to view, edit, create, and analyze geospatial data. ArcMap allows the user to explore data within a data set, symbolize features accordingly, and create maps.
This is a list of free and open-source software for geological data handling and interpretation. The list is split into broad categories, depending on the intended use of the software and its scope of functionality. Notice that 'free and open-source' requires that the source code is available and users are given a free software license.
Free and open-source software portal; This is a category of articles relating to GIS software which can be freely used, copied, studied, modified, and redistributed by everyone that obtains a copy: "free software" or "open-source software".
GIS Live DVD is a type of the thematic Live CD containing GIS/RS applications and related tutorials, and sample data sets. The general sense of a GIS Live DVD is to demonstrate the power of FLOSS GIS and encourage users to start on FLOSS GIS. However, a disc can be used for GIS data processing and training, too.
ArcReader (freeware, viewer) is a basic data viewer for maps and GIS data published in the proprietary Esri format using ArcGIS Publisher. The software also provides some basic tools for map viewing, printing and querying of spatial data. ArcReader is included with any of the ArcGIS suite of products, and is also available for free to download.
The software was built under a paradigm of tools that could be used together within a command-line interface to perform GIS database development, geoprocessing, and output functions. [citation needed] ESRI added subsystems for surface processing ("TIN") network analysis ("Network"), and survey data processing ("Cogo"). [citation needed]
This tutorial will describe the steps for creating a general historical map of the British Isles using the open-source GIS software Open JUMP and Inkscape.. It requires some proficiency with Inkscape and basic GIS skills.
One important feature of Jump and OpenJUMP is the ability to work with GIS data in GML format. GML or "Geography Markup Language" is an XML (text-based) format for GIS data. It is a way to describe spatial information in a human readable form, and is an accepted "open standard" for GIS data.
