shapefile viewer

Alex,

JShape is another Java based viewer which is either free or very cheap to
distribute, (depending upon the version).

You can find details at http://www.jshape.com

Alex - It's not in Delphi, and it's not open source, but ESRI has a free
Java version of ArcExplorer that can view shapefiles.  It even works on
Linux, sort of (can't get geotiff's [at least] to draw).  You may not be
able to distribute it either, but people could download it for free.

I don't know if it displays geocodes.
