CSI Customized Versions of ArcReader

As part of the Yakama Indian Nation Wetlands and Riparian Restoration Project, CSI developed two customized versions of ESRI ArcReader: YakReader and SyncMap. YakReader simplifies the ArcReader interface and makes spatial bookmarks easily accessible from the standard toolbar. SyncMap provides functionality for simultanioulsy viewing aerial photographs from four different years for change detection. These ArcReader customizations can be downloaded from our site. To use these customizations, ESRI ArcReader 9.1 or 9.2 must first be installed.
