ArcGIS for Desktop - leading desktop GIS software

ArcMap

ArcMap is the central application in ArcGIS Desktop for all map-based tasks including cartography, map analysis, and editing. ArcMap is a comprehensive map authoring application for ArcGIS Desktop.

 

ArcMap offers two types of map views: a geographic data view and a page layout view. In the geographic data view, geographic layers are symbolized, analyzed, and compiled into GIS data sets. A table of contents interface organizes and controls the drawing properties of the GIS data layers in the data frame. ArcMap's geographic data view is a window into any GIS data set for a given area.

ArcMap is used for all mapping and editing tasks as well as map-based analysis.
 

In the ArcMap layout view, map pages contain geographic data views as well as other map elements such as scale bars, legends, north arrows, and reference maps. ArcMap is used to compose maps on pages for printing and publishing.
