What is ArcGIS?
ArcGISTM is a suite of GIS products from ESRI. ArcGISTM comes in a variety of desktop variants: ArcViewTM, ArcEditorTM and ArcInfoTM. EasySVG can work with any of these variants.
What version of ArcGIS do I need?
EasySVG works with ArcGISTM 8.x or above. It does not work with ArcViewTM 3.x.
Why do people need the Adobe® SVG plug-in to view the maps?
Most web-browsers do not currently support SVG directly, hence the current need for a plug-in. This may change in the future.
Why does EasySVG only work on Internet Explorer for Windows?
EasySVG maps require functionality provided by the Adobe® SVGViwer plug-in for Windows. Maps may work on other operating systems or web-browsers but this is not guaranteed.
