The National Atlas
-
In the National Atlas Map Maker, you can assemble, view, and print your own maps. You can choose from hundreds of layers of geographic information to make maps. Each map layer can be displayed individually or mixed with others as you tailor a map to your needs. For example, you can make a map showing America's streams and lakes. And you can add new map layers showing additional geographic information, such as state boundaries, county boundaries, roads, railroads, and towns and cities.

Extensions and Other Tools
-
Supported tools and user-community developed extensions to aid in workflow.
In the last few years, we have witnessed a significant shift in approaches to creating geospatial applications. Organizations are moving away from monolithic, desktop-only applications based on proprietary software and embracing modular applications, based on open source software, which aim to support a wider set of devices and operating systems. This document provides an overview of some of the popular options for these architectures and describes the functionality and relative strengths of each. We have divided this document into two sections, one for component products, and another for “stack” products which provide pre-configured integrations of these tools with some of the heavy lifting done for us. Component Products
This following products are generally intended to be used as modules, and combined together with other tools in various combinations to create custom applications. Visit our AppLCC Open Source GIS Portal Conservation Design

Geospatial Modeling Environment
-
GME provides you with a suite of analysis and modelling tools, ranging from small 'building blocks' that you can use to construct a sophisticated work-flow, to completely self-contained analysis programs. It also uses the extraordinarily powerful open source software R as the statistical engine to drive some of the analysis tools. One of the many strengths of R is that it is open source, completely transparent and well documented: important characteristics for any scientific analytical software.

GRASS GIS
-
GRASS GIS, commonly referred to as GRASS (Geographic Resources Analysis Support System), is a free and open source Geographic Information System (GIS) software suite used for geospatial data management and analysis, image processing, graphics and maps production, spatial modeling, and visualization. GRASS GIS is currently used in academic and commercial settings around the world, as well as by many governmental agencies and environmental consulting companies.

Open Jump
-
OpenJUMP is an open source Geographic Information System (GIS) written in the Java programming language. It is developed and maintained by a group of volunteers from around the globe. The current version can read and write shapefiles and simple GML files. It has limited support for the display of images and good support for showing data retrieved from WFS and WMS web-services. So you can use it as GIS Data Viewer. However, it's particular strength is the editing of geometry and attribute data.

R
-
R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. It compiles and runs on a wide variety of UNIX platforms, Windows and MacOS. This software has virtually unlimited spatial analysis capabilities but is a command line interface that can interface with ArcGIS, GRASS, PostGIS,and Google Earth.
