wxGIS Portable

wxGis Portable is a small-sized software program that lets you manage geographic information in a user-friendly environment. It doesn't include complicated options or configuration parameters, making it accessible to all types of users.

Since there is no setup kit involved, you can save the program files to any part of the disk and just click the executable to launch wxGIS. Another possibility is to save it to a pen drive to be able to directly run it on any computer with minimum effort. Worth mentioning is that, unlike most installers, it doesn't change the Windows registry configuration.

It's packed in a clean and intuitive interface, where you can set up connections to any folders from the computer, rename, disconnect and refresh directories, as well as explore coordinate systems, database connections and the toolbox.

You can preview coordinate systems and study spatial references, as well as use tools for computing statistics, calculating mean column data, creating overviews, exporting or projecting vector files, or writing shape coordinates to text documents, among others.

We haven't found any unpleasant surprises in our tests as far as stability is concerned, thanks to the fact that the tool didn't freeze, crash or prompt error messages. It left a small footprint on computer performance, running on low CPU and RAM.

WxGIS comes bundled with handy and intuitive options and tools for analyzing and organizing geographic information, and it can be handled by anyone with ease. Unfortunately, the project doesn't seem to seem to be in development, which means that it will not receive any further updates. Because this edition is very old, we've experienced compatibility issues with Windows 10 in our tests.
