"Geomatica 9 FreeView is a remarkable tool for visually realizing remotely sensed imagery and geospatial data," states Dr. Robert Moses, President and CEO of PCI Geomatics. "With the same viewing environment of our Geomatica 9 flagship solution, we are giving away something with practical user value. This is a no-cost tool for loading, viewing, layering, and studying raster and vector data , and we invite the geospatial world to take advantage of it."
