ArcGIS Explorer is a lightweight desktop client for ArcGIS Server. It can be used to access, integrate, and utilize GIS services, geographic content, and other Web services. ArcGIS Explorer can also be used with a variety of other GIS services such as those published using ArcIMS, ArcWeb Services, Web Map Services (WMS), and other Web services. In addition, ArcGIS Explorer can use local data such as shapefiles, file geodatabases, KML, JPEG 2000, GeoTIFF, MrSID, IMG, and other uploadfile formats.
ArcGIS Explorer integrates the rich world of GIS datasets and server-based geoprocessing applications. It does this by accessing the full GIS capabilities of ArcGIS Server including geoprocessing and 3D services.
With ArcGIS Explorer, you can
- Explore data for the entire world in 2D and 3D seamlessly.
- Fuse your local data with data and services from ArcGIS Server, ArcIMS, Open Geospatial Consortium WMS, and ESRI-hosted ArcWeb Services.
- Perform GIS analysis using tasks (e.g., visibility, modeling, proximity search).
- Answer geographic questions about the maps you generate and share the results with others.
- Use maps and data from your own secure servers.
ArcGIS Explorer will be available with the release of ArcGIS 9.2.
