For most of Digimap you can use any recent web browser (e.g. IE6 or later, Firefox 1.0 or later). For Carto you will need a browser that supports Java 1.4. If you wish to use Carto on a Mac you will need to use Mac OS X. For downloaded data there is a list of companies who supply conversion software within the service. URLs from which free converters can be downloaded are also provided. Converted data or some of the formats provided directly can be used in a GIS software package. Your institution may already support and hold licences for GIS software. You should investigate this first. There are also Eduserv Chest software deals which can provide you with some GIS packages more cheaply than if you approach the software vendor directly. EDINA provides support in the use of Ordnance Survey data for key GIS software in use by the HE community, but cannot recommend any particular software packages.
