DESCRIPTION
ESRI's ArcGIS is for many companies and institutions the geographic information system (GIS) for creating maps and visualizing their data. Maps created and saved within the main component of ArcGIS (ArcMap) will be stored in so called MXD files on the hard drive.Before MXD2Map started: publishing ArcGIS MXD maps was not possible without the use of another component of ArcGIS called ArcIMS (Arc Internet Map Server). When you created your maps with ArcGIS your maps will have fallen into the ArcGIS Trap; they will be unusable in the Free World.MXD2Map automates as much as possible for you to publish and share ESRI ArcGIS MXD with the use of the open source project MapServer and frees your MXD maps! With MXD2Map you can escape the ArcGIS trap and publish and share your MXD maps OGC standard compliant with no licensing costs.MXD2map is Free Software (an Open Source project) published under the GNU Lesser Public License (LGPL).TRANSCRIPT
