ArcGIS Explorer offers an easy way to view, present, and share GIS data. It connects directly to a variety of ready-to-use ArcGIS Online basemaps and layers and enables users to connect to their own map services or add local data. It can also be extended with a user's own tools to deliver geoprocessing and other capabilities to people who do not necessarily know anything about GIS. It is ideal for delivering GIS to everyone, not just GIS professionals.

ArcGIS Explorer includes intuitive, high-performance visualization and presentation tools that let users make information visually compelling. It is engineered to work directly with maps and layers authored using ArcGIS Desktop and published via ArcGIS Server, or shared as layer packages, and makes integration of other data easy. The latest release, ArcGIS Explorer 1500 provides the ability to view data in both 2D and 3D modes and is available as a free download.
[edit] With ArcGIS Explorer you can:
- Connect to Esri-hosted ArcGIS Online (satellite imagery for the entire world, worldwide streets, terrain, boundaries and labels, political maps, and physiography).
- Fuse your local data with map services to create custom maps.
- Add photos, reports, videos, and other information to your maps.
- Perform spatial analysis (e.g., visibility, modeling, proximity search).
- Access 2D and 3D mapping services from ArcGIS Server; ArcIMS; and Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. (OGC).
- Add local data such as geodatabases, shapefiles, KML/ KMZ, GPX, and raster formats (JPEG 2000, GeoTIFF, MrSID). See a demo of adding GPX data to ArcGIS Explorer. You can also add layer packages created using ArcGIS Desktop.
- Connect to GeoRSS feeds. See a demo.
- E-mail your projects directly from the application. See a demo
