This is a software program that helps view GIS/CAD map/GIS files in several formats and has some additional properties.

The free AvisMap Viewer opens most GIS/CAD and raster image file types. It is able to support most ArcView, ArcExplorer, and MapInfo projects. This is a software program that helps with quite a few features that include visual layer properties control, legend control, thematic mapping, spatial and attribute querying, custom labelling, on-map measurements, hyper-linking, PDF export, etc. These could be quite handy when working with GIS maps and without investing in regular GIS tools. This tool is particularly useful when working with the AvisMap Map Engine. The tool provides support for various data formats and common GIS functionality. You could thus use this free tool to generate AvisMap project files. You then have an easy way to create maps that are compatible with the AvisMap product as well as custom software created on top of the main map engine. The AvisMap Desktop product, for example, extends the free Viewer and adds the functions such as editing, digitizing, merging, exporting, conversion between formats, building/correcting map topology, etc. GIS shapefile map data.

The interface presented is simple enough and should be intuitive to users working with maps. This tool is obviously not for everyone. Software supports a range of data formats and many of which can be used as native data, there is no need to get them converted before use. Raster, vector, DTM, georeferenced data as well as raster images of several formats are handled. This is a very good product and if you are looking for a tool like this, this could be it.
