TatukGIS Viewer - FREE

(Free Download)

The free TatukGIS Viewer opens most GIS/CAD vector, raster image, and grid file types and most ArcView®, ArcExplorer®, and MapInfo® projects. Besides just opening and viewing files, the Viewer supports an extensive set of features including visual layer properties control, legend control, thematic mapping, spatial and attribute querying, custom labeling, on-map measurements, hyper-linking, PDF export and much more. The user interface is available in 16 languages.

Because the GIS Viewer is compiled from the TatukGIS Developer Kernel toolkit, it provides an easy way to evaluate the TatukGIS technology and support for various data formats and common GIS functionality. The free Viewer can be used to generate TatukGIS project files that are compatible with any other TatukGIS product or custom applications created from the TatukGIS DK toolkit. The Viewer can generate ASP.NET projects for web publishing with the TatukGIS Internet Server.

The TatukGIS Editor product extends the free Viewer by adding an extensive set of features for editing, digitizing, merging, exporting, converting (between formats), building/correcting map topology, etc. GIS shapefile map data.
