Client-side options
- Cross-platform: My World GIS 5.0: http://www.pasco.com/myworld/ ...this is an evolutionary dead end (the software is no longer supported), so no guarantees.
- I also have an install file for My World 4.1 (whose interface I infinitely prefer), but it's PC-only.
- PC-only: ArcGIS (requires Lehigh log-in, only for install on Lehigh-owned computers): http://software.lehigh.edu/install/ ...Scroll down (or search down) to 'Esri ArcGIS Desktop Suite'. Note that once you install, you'll also need the license from Scott Rutzmoser
Web-based option: ArcGIS Online (requires free account, be sure to choose 'Free Public Account'): http://www.arcgis.com/home/index.html
