AvisMap Viewer is a free software that allows opening most GIS/CAD and raster image file types and ArcView, ArcExplorer, and MapInfo projects. In addition to file viewing, it provides an array of features.
The Viewer is compiled from the AvisMap Map Engine, making it an excellent option for evaluating the AvisMap technology and support for various data formats and common GIS functionality. It also enables you to generate AvisMap project files that are compatible with other AvisMap products or custom applications created from the AvisMap GIS Engine.
If you're looking to edit, digitize, merge, export, convert (between formats), build/correct map topology, and more with GIS shapefile map data, the AvisMap Desktop product builds upon the Viewer's extensive feature set.
