Version 3.1

MapWindow is a customizable, extensible mapping tool with powerful capabilities to view, manipulate, and analyze geospatial data. Specifically, it is a programmable Geographic Information System (GIS) that supports standard GIS data formats.

Because distribution of MapWindow is royalty free, it is the perfect solution for a researcher or company wishing to build a custom mapping tool for free distribution to colleagues or clients. For example, you may wish to offer a tool that allows users to build and interact with road maps tied to GPS data.

To extend the functionality of MapWindow, developers may create plug-ins. Follow this link for a current list of MapWindow plug-ins.

For more information about the possibilities available with MapWindow, please read the MapWindow GIS Overview (PDF) document.
