After working with the free internet version of ArcGIS for over a week I have realised that I am not using GIS to its fullest potential. Despite this, when I tried to download the free trail I found that ArcGIS does not offer free Mac/OS application. After some research I have found that Cartographica is the most commonly used Mac version of GIS.
Despite its popularity and positive reviews online, Cartographica required masses of extra software to produce additional vectors and rasters. Base maps had to be downloaded from other sources and imported and there was very few options for measuring tools.
As a result of this, reluctantly, I have decided to download the full version of ArcGIS.
