[mapserver-users] Map Viewer for use on laptop

[E Perik]

Hi Steve,

ArcExplorer2 or 3 are both perfect,... but only for viewing.

Agree, once it comes to editing it becomes quit a small selection ;-)

I'm sorry, I haven't been following this thread but why not get
ArcExplorer2 which is a free download from the ESRI site?

Granted it is view only app. As soon as you want to edit files the
problem become a little more complex. :)
