Can AGIS read X format map or data files?

The current version of AGIS can only read text map or data files which have positions specified in decimal degrees. The only import formats currently supported are Arc Export .e00, Arc Generate .gen, MapInfo .mif/.mid, South African National exchange standard .nes and Garmin GPS files. More formats will be added to future releases of AGIS. The native AGIS text format for map polygons and lines is similar to the import format used by other GIS and mapping packages. For now, if you wish to import data that is not in a supported format, it is possible to reformat your information using something like MS Excel to do the job. If you have a requirement that you think might be useful for others, please let us know and we will try and include that format also.
