Trying to find a good shapefile viewer.
Shapefiles are what UK Govt uses to display geodata.
It's just not straight forward finding out which are the good tools for displaying that data.
It may be "obvious" to some people, but it's not obvious to me.
I can manipulate and use the data, that's easy. But I just want to view it.
Is there a good browser plugin? Something like that?
Really annoying.
