Explorer
Explorer is a geospatial data viewer and analysis tool from Esri, the maker of ArcGIS. It is designed to help geographers, planners, researchers, and GIS professionals explore and visualize geographic information systems data, satellite imagery, maps, and spatial datasets on a Mac. Users can load, inspect, and interact with GIS datasets, perform basic spatial queries, and view map layers. It is intended for professionals who work with geospatial data but do not need the full feature set of ArcGIS Desktop.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe search results provided appear to be about Internet Explorer (the web browser), which is not the same product as Esri's Explorer geospatial tool. Based on the bundle ID com.esri.Explorer-OSX, this is Esri's GIS data explorer application. Unfortunately, we could not find current information about whether Esri has released a native Apple Silicon build of Explorer. We recommend visiting Esri's official support site or downloading the latest version directly from Esri's website to check the current architecture. If your copy is Intel-only, contact Esri support to ask whether a native build is available or planned before macOS 28 ships in September 2028, since Intel-only builds will stop launching on that release. As an interim option, you may be able to run your GIS workflows through ArcGIS Online (Esri's web-based platform), which runs natively in any modern browser on all Macs.
