[mapserver-users] Map Viewer for use on laptop

[E Perik]

Regarding my first question I did get some useful answers, however ...

Is there a low budget Viewer + database-editing option available?
In general only ESRI shapefiles are used, so that should keep a lot of
options open.

The reason why I ask is because local resellers are referring to huge
program's, often based on a webserver or the viewer uses a non-standard
file-format.

So if I go out in the field (uhu uhum) with a laptop/PDA and want to
edit data of an object, what would be a simple program to use?

Setting up mapserver+apache+PHP could do this, but I was looking for
another (quicker) solution.

Any tip is more then welcome!

Erwin

Hi All,

I know this is totally off topic, but are there some good GIS-viewers to
view maps also used by Mapviewer on a laptop without a webserver ?

Functionality should be no more like:

* Zoom
* Pan
* Identify/Query
* Search

All data are ESRI shape-files and some GEOTIFF's.

Did some searches on the internet, but did not come up with many
results.

Now I only use ArcExplorer from ESRI, but are there other low-price
solutions available?

Thanks in advance,

Erwin
