Cool Tools

The tools listed here are either freeware, shareware or public access web tools, and should be used accordingly. NGTEN lists them here because they address some of the common challenges new users find when trying out geospatial technology. The list is in no way an endorsement of one tool or product over another, nor is it meant to be exhaustive. The most up-to-date versions of these tools are located on the websites of their manufacturers.
