Review of GIS software products

ArcGIS is a system for building GIS any level. ArcGIS enables to easily create data, maps, globes, and models in desktop software, and then publish them and use in desktop applications, web browsers and in the field, through mobile devices. ArcGIS includes a number of popular modular programs, namely:

• XTools Pro for ArcGIS is a unique collection of useful tools for spatial analysis of converting objects and work with attribute tables in ArcGIS, significantly expanding the functionality of standard system ArcGIS

• CarryMap for ArcGIS is a software extension to ArcGIS for creating electronic maps and GIS projects in the form of an executable file (*.exe),

• SXF Tools for ArcGIS is the extension to ArcGIS, which is designed for converting spatial data from format SXF (GIS «Panorama») in the formats .gdb, .mdb, .sde supported ArcGIS.

• TAB Reader for ArcGIS - represents an additional plug-in for ArcGIS, which is intended for direct reading of the data in formats MapInfo TAB and MIF/MID ArcGIS to preserve the existing rendering properties legend and information about the coordinate system defined in the format XXXX.

• AgroKarta for ArcGIS is a set of tools for automated processing of agrochemical data, monitoring of soil fertility and the formation of the database on the areas and regions.

• Tracking Well for ArcGIS is the solution based on ArcGIS for visualization of 3D data and effective management of spatial data drilling at the corporate level.

MapInfo - geographic information system (GIS)designed for collection, storage, display, editing and analysis of spatial data.

2GIS (ДубльГИС - free electronic reference book of organizations with a map of the city. 11 030 000 PC users in more than 140 cities of Russia and Ukraine regularly use 2GIS in the personal purposes and to solve business problems.

GIS Zulu - using Zulu you can create all kinds of cards in the geographical projections, or master plan, including maps and schemes of utility networks supporting their topology, work with a large number of raster, to implement a common semantic and spatial analysis of graphical and tabular data, create a variety of thematic maps, to export and import data.

GRASS (GIS) geographic information system (GIS)is used for data management, image processing, graphics, spatial modeling, and visualization of different types of data.

To build a comprehensive GIS should have several of the above described programs and specialized equipment.
