"I'm very positive about the future of GIS. It's the right technology at the right time. When I think of all the major problems that we face throughout the world today—overpopulation, food shortages, reduced agricultural production, adverse climate change, poverty—these are all quintessentially geographic problems. These problems are all concerned with the human relationship to the land, and this is where GIS can make its biggest contribution. GIS is the technology of our times and is uniquely suited to assist in solving the problems that we face."

-Dr. Roger F. Tomilson, Father of GIS

"ArcGIS Earth" is the ESRI powered "Google Earth"


ESRI introduces a ArcGIS earth for exploring any part of the World by using a variety of 3D and 2D map data formats including KML and other web services.
It allows the users for doing the following:
  • Display data, sketch placemarks, measure distances and areas, and add annotations.
  • Report project status and present to clients in compelling and interactive 3D. 
  • ArcGIS Earth is fully integrated with the ArcGIS platform so you can securely access, share, and publish your enterprise maps and data.
  • Explore terrains, oceans, and mountains anywhere in the world.
  • Its free, so everyone can install and use it.
