Intermediate


There are a range of 'intermediate' GIS that fill the gap between a desktop software application and online tool. They typically sit online and allow you to do more with your data than Google Maps and Earth.




ArcGIS Explorer Online (AGXO)
ESRI have been busy creating a number of new spatial applications in recent years that are more flexible and accessible than ArcGIS, their desktop behemoth. ArcGIS Explorer is one of those and allows you to create really nice maps from a range of sources. You could create  the map features manually or you could import GPX, ESRI Shapefile or data from a table. Check out ArcLessons for ideas for classroom use (hint, you can set your software to ArcGIS Explorer to filter the most useful results).

Here is a recently completed classroom resource for the Department of Natural Resources and Mines using ArcGIS Explorer Online.
