Recommended GIS software

The staff at the Geospatial Centre regularly review Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software products. Most are open source and/or free viewers and work well with Esri Shapefiles. If you have discovered a product you would like others to know about, please email Eva Dodsworth and tell her about it.
