Viewer

Free desktop GIS Viewer based on the Editor

v5.85.0 was released 2 weeks ago. See what's new.

The free TatukGIS Viewer is a slimmed down version of the desktop TatukGIS Editor, generally offering the same capability for opening and viewing GIS data and creating map projects. Data modification, scripting, and a number of more advanced features of the Editor are not available in the Viewer.

Viewing

Natively open and render geospatial data in 75+ vector, image, grid, and spatial database layer supported formats.

File formats: SHP, MIF, TAB, GML, KML, JSON, DXF, DGN, DWG, GPX, OSM, Lidar XYZ, CSV, S57, IFC, VPF, CADRG, GeoTIFF, PNG, JPEG, JPEG2000, MrSID, ECW, IMG, PLY, GRD, FLT, BT, and others
Database formats: PostGIS, Oracle Spatial & GeoRaster, MSSQL Server Spatial, ESRI ArcSDE & ArcSDE Raster, IBM DB2 Spatial Extender, Geomedia, OpenGIS SQL Layer, and others
Protocol based (streaming): WMS, WMTS, WFS, and web tiles

Viewing features include attribute data grid panel with SQL and spatial query tools that interact with the map, scale-based rendering, measurement tools, buffers, filters, and printing high resolution maps to PDF.

Map Projects

Open, customize, create, and save sophisticated projects that may be comprised of unlimited map layers in various data formats and coordinate systems. Comprehensive layer properties, legend, north arrow, and scale visual controls enable customizing the appearance of each layer, adding and removing layers, organizing sublayers and layer groups, setting the project coordinate system, and all other aspects of the map appearance to create sophisticated multi-layer map projects.

Other features include advanced labeling, symbols for points, lines, and fills, built-in 1,000+ SVG map symbols library with road shields, unlimited line style possibilities, color ramps, pie and bar charts, transparency, binning and dynamic shape aggregation for simplified viewing of very large datasets, thematic/choropleth maps, and access to the TatukGIS hosted OpenStreetMap web tile server as a background layer.

Coordinate Systems

5,000+ predefined coordinate systems with EPSG codes and OGC WKT definitions, U.S. State Planes, 150+ projections, user-defined coordinate systems, automatic layer coordinate system recognition, and efficient on-the-fly vector/raster layer reprojection between coordinate systems.

Databases

Compatibility with most database engines and database layer formats. Support for advanced spatial databases includes using spatial operators for server-side spatial queries, utilizing server-side spatial indexes for fast queries, and database layer connection wizard.
