ESRI Releases ArcReader 9.2

ESRI (CA, USA) has released ArcReader 9.2. ArcReader is a free, easy-to-use desktop mapping application that allows users to view, navigate, and print maps and globes created with the ArcGIS Publisher extension.

ArcReader lets you distribute maps that stay up-to-date because the maps are dynamically linked to data on a local machine or a network (LAN, WAN, Internet, etc). It also lets you distribute maps bundled with data on a CD. This ability allows you to significantly increase access to geographic information.

ArcReader 9.2 includes enhanced viewing of maps with ArcGIS Online services, which provides a series of ready-to-use online map, globe, and other GIS services. With ArcReader 9.2, users can also print maps with customised titles.

New features of ArcReader 9.2 include

-         a comprehensive set of tools to mark up maps

-         the ability to customise the map title for customisation

-         3D navigation tools for enhanced visualisation of a user-defined location

-         3D developer control for creating custom 3D applications

-         a measure tool for one-button clicking to measure features and areas

-         usability and quality enhancements to allow users to be more efficient in their GIS work

-         a full-screen mode button to maximise the viewing area

-         support for ESRI ArcWeb Services.

ArcReader 9.2 is available as a free download for Windows, Solaris, and Linux platforms.
