Orbit Explorer 4.1 is the free viewing, consulting, inspection and annotation tool from the Orbit GIS family of desktop products. It is now available for all Windows and Linux, Unix platforms.
Orbit Explorer provides equal consulting capabilities on each of these platforms, allowing to access local file-based resources, Multiresolution imagery (e.g. the Orbit portable OMI image format), or remote servers.
Orbit Explorer Plus is the very low cost extendible viewer, which adds additional tools such as querying and plug-in capabilities for extensions.
The Linux/Unix version of Orbit Explorer (Plus) is equal in features and performance to it’s Windows peer. Only limitations are the use of 3rd party drivers that are not supported on these platforms by these parties.
