The Botswana PC
Atlas
The Botswana National
Atlas was produced through a digital process from which the book version
was printed. The PC Atlas is the simplified digital product, designed
for wider use in a PC based GIS platform.
1.
PC Atlas 1.0 A
It is designed for the users who have ArcView 3.2 already. PC Atlas will
take all the ArcView 3.2 functions and allow the user to modify and add
new data on top of the PC Atlas.
2. PC Atlas 1.0 B
It is meant for the user who does not have ArcView 3.2 as it is provided
with a runtime ArcView license. The runtime license has the same functionality
as a full license except for the ability to use data that is not on the
CD.
3. PC Atlas 1.0 C
This is the PC Atlas data working with ArcExplorer 2.0 which is a free
software from ESRI and can be downloaded from the website. It is mainly
for the View/Explorer user.
4. Botswana National Atlas e-Book
This is the entire BNA in PDF format, it can be read or viewed through
Acrobat Reader, the latest version of which can be downloaded from the
website www.adobe.com/acrobat but will also be available for installation
from the CD.
ArcView 3.2, which is aimed at more advanced users allows for additions, modifications and analysis. A runtime version with limitations with regards to using other data than that supplied on the CD will be delivered on a CD ROM with PC Atlas.
ArcExplorer, which is intended for examining the data, is a freeware
from ESRI except for the specially developed MapFinder software that is
used as a catalogue during production. This software has some limitations,
GIS analysis is available but one can only zoom, pan, search/find and
query both spatial and attribute data. Above all, the software is easy
to use. The ArcExplorer software can be downloaded via the Internet, but
will also be distributed together with the Atlas data on a CD.
