Explorer
Explorer is a geographic information system (GIS) application from Esri, the world's leading GIS software company. It enables users to explore, visualize, and analyze geographic data on maps, including satellite imagery, terrain, and spatial datasets. The app is designed for researchers, urban planners, environmental scientists, and GIS professionals who need to inspect and work with location-based information. Explorer runs as a native macOS application and integrates with Esri's ArcGIS platform and online mapping services.

1 suggestionNo clear information about a native Apple Silicon build of Explorer could be found. Esri's main GIS application—ArcGIS Pro—has an Intel-only version on macOS, though Esri has shifted some focus to web-based and mobile GIS tools in recent years. We recommend contacting Esri directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build of Explorer is planned, or checking the Esri website for any updates on macOS native support. In the meantime, the app will run under Rosetta 2 on M-series Macs, though performance may not be optimal. If you need a fully native GIS alternative, QGIS is a free, open-source option with active Apple Silicon support, though it has a steeper learning curve.
